    You shoulda got a pirates and brigands chart in the process of unlocking ebisu quest, from the 'catch 25' and 'catch 50' species quests if I recall.

    The thing is most people posting here were posting to figure it out, werent posting cause they wanted to figure it out themselves. from the start a spoilered solution to the puzzle would have worked like you ended up doing. I think its the few refusals to do so that made people angry. Its like "look what i got and you cant have it" kinda thing to some people. Especially with and item that marks what place you were on the server to get the item. Its like having the info right there in front of u but being unable to grab it.

    Having said that I do appreciate your's and everyone's work in this thread thus far. Now lets find dem glasses and gloves!

    How was the bite rate on the Dragon Tabernacle in Cape Teriggan? I was out there for an hour with a Shrimp Lure trying for it, and not a single bite except for Cobalt Jellyfish.

    Also, same goes for the Quickblade. I rode the ferry between Aht Urghan Whitegate and Nashmau several times, all with Shrimp Lure, and I only caught the Gugru Tuna knockoff and the other fish referred to as the Gigas's Shield. No bite from Quickblade.

    I had way better success with sliced bluetail, after trying a bunch of different baits.

    Cool, I'll give that a try. Does Sliced Bluetail work for both Quickblade and Dragon Tabernacle?

    What level are you? That might affect the bite rate. I had no issues getting bites with Shrimp Lure for both of those fish.

    And if you really cared about 'solving your own puzzles', why were looking for answers from players that completed the quest before you in the first place?
    These are exactly what I was meaning/referring to. The whole look what I got have fun solving the riddle without all the help I had. Trust me it will be great even though really you didn't have to solve it like we were doing. Would've been slightly different if you say gave us the same info the other guy gave you and said work out which are the real objectives and which aren't necessary. Came off somewhat tauntingly

    Anyways... might be awhile before I start since I no longer have my lu but any info on that?

    I'm 97 +6 from fishing gear set + Fisherman's Torque. I had a feeling that MIGHT have been the reason for the shitty bite rate but I wasn't sure. I'm guessing achieving the final guild rank may have something to do with it.

    I was planning on fishing up a bunch of Cave Cherax anyway for Matsya bait. Maybe I'll get up to 98 in the process.

    It shouldn't have too huge of an effect. Going back to my decent sized Hak parses bite rate was just barely higher with 110 +9 skill than 100 +9 with sinkers (like 14% compared to 12%) and a little higher with lower skill on regular minnows.
    Though this quest might have some hidden rank requirement unrelated to skill

    Side note has anyone noticed lower line snaps? I haven't fished much since soa but I haven't gotten a single line snap yet going thru this so far doing a good 8 of the ryu line 3 quicksilvers several liks a few other legendaries that definitely used to break lines when iirc my old parses should a good 30% break rate on haks

    I've had a few line snaps on Gugrusaurus, but the rate seems much lower than it used to be.

    Fatigue will be your biggest killer for Lu Shangs. Catch 75 fish in 16 different regions, 100,000 catch size/weight, and different tiers of Reel Endurance (on 5th at the moment).

    It took a while for the cape terrigan fish to take a bite. Then it did and i messed up the pull like 2-3 times. Rod was goin everywhere. arrows changing so fast it looked like arrows were goin both ways at points. Then i may have used my penguin ring or which ever one tires them better. and i got it first try. Im 110 skill with a few GP furnishins megamoglification.

    Afterglow are RME weapons, can do magian trials to make em glow.

    Ebisu and lu shangs got HQ versiosn added this update, each have their own quests to forge them from the NQs.

    People are referring to the effect as an afterglow due to its similiar style and nature to the afterglow on RMEs (ridiculously hard quest line to upgrade a weapon and get basically nothing in return except for SHINY WEAPON)

    And as we all should know.

    Fashion hunter is best hunter.

    I caught a couple Lord of Ulbulka without penguin/albatross but it was a pain. Even after getting Ebisu +1 it's still fast.

    110 - Mega Mog- Duck Ring- rope/torque- advanced support

    I think I was the one who mentioned Matsya at the start of all this. It was the largest fish I had on me so I turned it in to beat that Mithra. I don't think it's required to start the main quest unless I accidently picked the right fish. It just asked for a legendary.

    edit Exalted Fisherman is the title you get.
