Fishing

[Trumpy]

Thanks I ran right by this in that north path i guess. In other news there really should be a place i can find these warps (all of them). There not on any wiki that I can find. And people just talk about them as if everyone knows when i see it in forums.

Im wondering if Dragon Tabernacle has some gimmick to him thats just easier to pull off by accident, and most of us who are having no issue with tabernacle just accidently pulled it off, and the people who are struggling havent.

I have to be honest, the clue the old man gives us has a LOT of extra info in it for it to be as simple as "go to cape terrigan you dunce"

Quicksilver blade is pretty simple, go catch him on the silver sea, but thats a bit out of the way and it seems like you can only hook blade during certain parts of the voyage, much like Tricorn and Sawfish.

Lord has his whole gimmick thing going on, phantom serpent has the whole bait thing, and matsya needs special bait.

Dragon tabernacle seems suspiciously vanilla of a fish for it to be so simple. Methinks people who cant catch tabernacle (he REALLY wasnt that hard for me, he was just an easy fish) might actually not be doing some odd prereq.

I remember I assumed he was in cape terrigan, and spent an entire hour on the beach trying every bait and had no luck. So I dicked off and started catching my 4 ryus for livers.

After about six hours of doing other fishing and odd tasks, I came back and tried again. This time for some reason I started hooking him lots, like every 3-5 bites. And landing him was easy.

Methinks theres a trick to this we're missing, and thats why some people are struggling, and some of us its easy mode. I mean lord of ulbuka clearly showed its a thing SE wanted to do, so its not unreasonable to assume tabernacle has something special going on.

The livers took the longest for me. #6 Leviathan.

Where can you catch a Red Bubble-Eye? Black Bubble-Eye is from goldfish scooping. I can't find anything on it.

Since when can't you fish in Rala? I remember doing that for Senroh Frog and even have a post about it from 2013.

edit saw another old posts that has Senroh Frog in Yorcia also. Trying to complete all fish caught

I... I dont know O_o

I think black bubble eye can be catch alongside goldfish in al zhabi with insect paste.

Ive never heard of red bubble eye before o_O

Fairly certain this is accurate.

Also if you go to the ceizak battlegrounds page on bg wiki it shows you on the map and in the connecting zone locations though not all the pages seem to for some reason

[Trumpy]

Thats odd when i looked at ceizaks page on bg wiki earlier it only had 2 connections to Sih I swear.

That map i somehow completely missed the pink star there. I knew in the past i had seen maps with these marked before we knew what they were. But i also looked at the legend on the map for a symbol to look for, and only saw things like reives and such i already knew bout. So I guess if i had even spotted the pink star i might not even had known what it stood for.

It seems like my dat modded maps in game were replaced this update. Im pretty sure i put that same map in game for me.

Thank you Dasva. now I know i can check that Rakaznar page for them thanks.

Just got the phantom serpent left to do so time to skill cookin 20-30 levels so i can make bait. I think I will fish the material fish on a mule. Do you think i should make a ton of bait or will it land pretty well (also takin account for mobs and stuff that will waste bait.)

[dasva]

I fished up 3-4 of each material fish and only got 1 bait material per each one. Often on the last one I had left. Made 3 bait from that and went to the abyssea mis coast and everything was either serpent or no bites. All 3 landed no problem with just 110 + 10 skill puffin/noddy rings

OK so here's my 2 cents on the ebisu stuff:

Dragon's Tabernacle: I just caught one of these (and ALMOST had a 2nd if it wasn't for the line break!) and it was a goddamn NIGHTMARE. I had like 4 of them get away from me due to time... but I'm not certain if that's b/c I'm 9.5 points under cap, missing the new glasses, or just plain sucking at the mingame. This was with fking EVERYTHING I could throw at the bitch; I ate the Fisherman's Feast, had support from the Fisherman's Belt, had my Fisher's Rope, Penguin/Albatross, Mega Moglification, and of course all the gear you could possibly ever want for fishing save for the new glasses & HQ ebisu.

That being said, I was looking over the hints Irmilant was dropping and was wondering if perhaps Pantam (or Adoulinian) Kelp might have something to do with the difficulty of the minigame. I didn't have any kelp in my inventory, so I couldn't try it out... but then this is merely conjecture on my part.

Quicksilver Blade: Boat's gotta be foggy for it to bite.

[urat]

Only thing thjat bites phantom serpent bait is the fish itself and one monster.

Once you sneak fish the monster up, only thign you hook is serpent, and tis line snap rate is low.

Easy to land, the hard part of phantom is you gotta get the bait.

Tested out quicksilver, and can also confirm it starts hooking during the fog.

Still cant figure out tabernacles gimmick. No matter where I go on the beach I have np now. So at some point I did something akin to Lord's gimmick that made tabernacle become possible to catch.

I have 0 fucking clue what it was, I did a LOT of stuff between when I gave up on my first trip to cape terrigan before coming back for round 2 and having no issue landing him on the second trip.

I just chalked it up to bad luck but an LS member of mine just cant hook it no matter how many times he casts, so theres something to it...

E#dit: Oh you know what? Maybe its something to do with Rusty items. I remember that I started up my fishing RoE objectives at that point and I started landing rusty items to complete the one RoE.

And the hint talks about "Remnants at the bottom of the sea", could mean you gotta catch a rusty item at the spot in order to make Tabernacle start biting?

Dunno if the game can track that easily, but might be possible?

[mijean]

i can't remember having fished a rusty right before reeling a tabernacle... but i'm pretty sure i did finish the roe quest for rusty items at least once before that as i set it up when i started the lu shang quest the very first day after the maintenance and i fished up 150 fishes before starting the ebisu, and there has been a couple of rusty items in between

[dasva]

The only thing I changed when I went from no tabernacles in an hour to immediately getting a bunch was moving from the cave down the beach.

Anyways I've now finished catching the 5 though still haven't finished the 100 roe.... and my thoughts are this so far on catching them on difficult. Everything I did with just megamog, 110 skill + 5 in gear and puffin/noddin no enchantment no tools used. A couple of them I had support up since I got belt thru this but not sure which ones.


Quicksilver Blade - really really easy. caught 3 while going for other fish while watching a show. Happened on multiple ferry rides back and forth until I just gave up on mola mola
Dragon Tabernacle - had to pay attention but once I did super easy
Matsya - pretty fast changes had to pay close attention but not too bad
Phantom Serpent -again really easy about quicksilver blade realm

None of those 4 did I ever even get the time warning nor on any of the fish to get them

Lord- was decently faster switching than Matsya even paying close attention made a bunch of mistakes and on the first one when I wasn't prepared lost it. The other 3 fights I had didn't even get warning. Most of the pre fish were super easy except Tusoteuthis Longa was moderately faster than I was prepared for combined with a sea monk jumping up on my right side making me think there was gold arrows on that side when I wasn't paying attention lol. It was the first fish during this whole thing that I even got a warning on.

Overall these fish were quite a bit easier to real in than I expected. I even brought over like 4 of each chart from my mules and my MMM rings just in case but never ended up using them. Never had to get rope/neck or duck ring. Kind of a let down for impossible to gauge fish. I was expecting like old matsya without mooching difficulties and such but mostly ended up you either hit the arrows a decent amount of time and finished way before the time warning or missed them and timed out none of the to the wire stuff

Edit: actually I didn't even remember to put up megamog until I was down to the matsya/lord sections so the other 3 were even easier

Is it foggy every ferry ride? One of the places said Q blades are on the boat to nashmau. and each of the 2-3 trips i did in a row to catch all fish available it bit my line at least once.i catn remember if it did on the way to whitegate or not.

According to my log, Dragon's Tabernacle was the only thing I pulled up in Teriggan. Nothing before, then 2 of them.

#15 on Shiva. Stupid real life gettin in the way. plus had to spend time leveling cooking.

[dannyl]

I wanted to see how hard Dragon's Tabernacle was so I checked it out
I was planted in the middle of the beach, and after 3 casts I caught one. I caught a 2nd one literally after the 1st one. I may have been lucky, but I was smack center at the beach. Fishing 110 + KI and gear, etc. I didn't use any rings or support belt

Yeah theres just a part of the boat ride where the boat gets foggy, and thats when quicksilver blade starts hooking.

A lot like the manaclipper ride where when you go over all the currents and eddies and the npc says "Lots of fish here", titanic swafish starts hooking. Same procedure.

Going to finish up lu shang weight ROE to get glasses tonight. Before I sell it.......are we absolutely positively sure there is no benefit for Ebisu +1 owners to +1 lushangs? Nothing in the dats about synergizing the two together. No quest log text saying if you have both +1's you don't fatigue. Etc etc etc.

[dasva]

Um you get the benefit of being able to switch between sith and jedi...

[dasva]

So finally finished mine... geez 16th. People are serious about fishing on this server
