Congratulations on 100 to the both of you!

I'm STILL stuck at 97.8, Lik's are starting to piss me off, may head down and start catching Cave Cherax instead.

[Ryukin]

you know whats funny, i went from 99.3 > 100 in literally 15 min, i got a .3 > .2 > .3, i was like, HOLY MOTHER OF GOD! the only bad thing about catching those ass holes is they break your line literally 1/2 the time, and they break your lu shangs a lot as well. i just got extremely lucky, it makes up for me being 0/37 on that hagun enm

I have Ebisu so I shouldn't have to worry about rod breaks, but line breaks are still annoying, regardless though anything is better than Lik haha.

I'm going to head out to cherax tonight, wish me luck im hoping for 98 at leasttt

[Juib]

Ebisu will cut down on line breaks tremendously

I HAVE FAITH IN YOU. GO GO VEGETAA

[vegetaa]

Haha thanks ^^
I would be 100 already if I had had some time to play in the last few days :/

[Ryukin]

tbh i was expecting to be 99ish for like a few days at the least, not for 30 min

So i'm closing in on 90 now, and I cant decide where to go next. I briefly tried Pterygotus last night but the bite rate was just depressing. I think I'm gonna give Black Soles a shot tonight, is the bite rate just as bad? Are the last 10 levels gonna be brutal no matter where I go?

[Ryukin]

if you think per are shitty bite rate, stop fishing, srsly. nothing 90+ is going to be like more than a 15-20 bite rate per hour, or at least shit worth fishing gil wise lol. espeically leveling up, black soles are the exact same bite rate as per's due to 5092358230985320958320 things you can catch in qufim or in ports, i like per's more because they give me massive skill ups, 1-2 a day sometimes with the ring, and thats levels, i got from 90-99 in like a week or two, got my mule from 88-90 in two days. its all up to you, but no mater what you want to catch the bite rate is shit lol

I stayed in Talacca Cove up until Lv96 to skill off Dils and make money off Ahtapot and Mercanbaligi. Then I started fishing Liks and Gugursaurus, and went to Lv99.4 on those. Got my Opal Silk but still haven't gotten Saber Shoot. Then I wanted to zerg rush Lv100, so I went and did Cave Cherax and finished the way to 100 in a day.

Don't be silly, stay in Nashmau till 99. You won't find any better spot that this one.

[Shadowrunner]

I say give it a mix. Sometimes it gets tiring going after the same thing for so long. Luckily if you don't do anything else and you want to save a bit on traveling, the Cove where you can fish up Dil to 96 isn't far from Nash. I'd flip between those two (the Cove does 'feel' like a better bite rate if you target more than just dil) until you hit a level where you're gung-ho for going to 100.

I can't think of any of the other fish up to 92, but i think there might be one other alternative.

Great Blue - FFXI Fishing Database


Try this out. What I have been doing lately is trying out other spots
which have yielded out a fair rate of skillups.

Also Veg, know anyone selling a Lu Shangs?!

Hmmm not right now, but there was one at the AH during the last few days. Can't check it right now since FFXIAH seems to be down ;;

[Juib]

Awesome responses all around. I'll stick with Nashmau. Thank you.

99.9 and out of bait ><
