Fishing

[cdgreg]

A couple more quick specific question demo if you dont mind. I like to have things planned out well ahead of time so here goes. Mostly verifying level ranges and the zones you fished in.

Stage 1:
Istiridye <-All done in Nashmau, take to about 50?

Stage 2:
Mercanbaligi+Ahtapot <-All done in Nashmau or did you fish in Tallaca Cave? Take to about 85?

Stage 3:
Mercanbaligi+Dil (canceling all !!! fish Ahtapots) <-All done in Tallaca Cave? Take to 96?

[Juib]

Why cancel ahtapots?

0/123 Lik's now, starting to get annoyed

Smallest Titanic Sawfish. I might end up going fishing tonight, if I get more than one (hahahahahahright) i'll drop you a line in game.. of course it'd be the 2nd smallest.

That would be cool, especially considering I cannot reel them
Oh well...

[Cele]

Maybe I'm in the minority, but I just never saw the apron as a worthwhile item to spend all that time/gil/gp on. The number of items fished up has always been pretty minimal. I understand the logic that if you're not getting an item, that's an extra cast to reel in a fish...but the cost/benefit just isn't there in my eyes.

I ask myself the same question every day lol... Currently fishing 92 and 78000~ GP (got Waders already); go for the Apron or just the Serpent Rumors? In Nashmau while skill up I see ppl with the Apron and tbh I didn't see too much diference between bite/rates (Pterygotus). As well in Nashmau at least fishing items is not a problem because rarely show up.

I tryed all 100+ fish (but Gugru/Liks) and the bite/rate is just horrible (like my english lol). If the Apron can help a lot with this I'll give it a shot, but if doesn't help too much I'll go just for the Rumors.

I did all in Nashmau, Istiridye till 53, Mercan/tapot till 86, and now trying to get 99 with Ptrygotus (92.x atm). At 53 Mercan/tapot was a little hard for me tbh, but then I discover how amazing is fishing in Xbox lol.

I had no problems reeling Mercanbaligi/Ahtapot around level 35 with a Lu Shang in Nashmau. Maybe cause I play on 360 (??)

Lu Shangs for 1 makes a HUGE difference, and yes, playing on a console system makes fishing TONS easier than using a PC. The only thing more broken than Playstation/Xbox fishing is Gjallarhorn. (Ok, there might be more stuff, but sounded good at the time).

[cdgreg]

Is console fishing so much better because there's less lag? I've only PC fished so I'm curious

[cdgreg]

It's a ton more responsive. I was reasonably pulling up sole in the 20's on 360.

Holy crap.

Another incoming question: Is there a theorized skill up difference depending on level range? Like will you skill up more often being 0-30 away from cap as compared to 30-60 away?

The main reason I ask is because while fishing Istiridye's I've pulled up a couple Mercanbaligi & Ahtapot's. Technically, these two fish NPC for more gil than the Istiridye's. I'm currently at 39.X fishing, so is it more beneficial sticking the Istiridye's to 53 as people mentioned or if I can reel in the others earlier do it because they npc for more?

It's all conjecture, but my personal opinion is that there does exist a skillup "sweetspot." But it's much closer to the level cap, like 10-15. As an example, I got .9 on 1 pelican ring charge awhile back on Ahtapot & Merc in the mid 70's. I found the same thing in the mid 50's on Noble Lady.

Do you use controller for that? I've been tap-fishing since I bought my first rod and just seem to like it better.

I tap-fish when I fish on 360 too, but i don't do it often

[dejet]

i am 0/305 on gugs(i gave up on them after my ring ran out.)
so i went to get a 2nd set of rings. but could not get the 2nd ring.
got the A ring and had bad luck with the 2nd. then i found out i could fish lik with just the A ring.(harder but it can be done. if you lag yourself they are not bad at all)
so i am just fishing lik up
im now 0/97 on lik. my plan is to sell lik from now on and buy gugs once i get the 1st key item from lik.

atm it sucks so much thinking about the gil i could of made selling the fish. but i know it will pay off some day...

on a god note i got .3 skill ups today fishing lik. so im now 99.9 skill.

you have to tap fish on lik/gugs i you dont you just screw yourself.

Has anyone had any experience fishing up Trumpet Shells? They seem like a pretty nice option considering their price tag and rate of sale? Wiki says the best combination is Vunkerl Inlet (S) - Robber Rig

ya its good gil. and sell fast^^; only thing is they seem to fish out sorta fast. no clue why dont have this prob anywhere else tbh(sometimes nash would slow down but they seem to just die out...)

edit: im about to turn in 50 more lik ~_~ wish me luck lol

GL! I didnt realize an area can be fished out. Does it reset at JP midnight like fatigue?

edit: oh ya, I seem to have good luck when I help a noob. Find a level 51 blm and give him an NQ fire staff, guaranteed luck. It's how I finally HQ'd cursed mitts 1/137 and had macha's coat drop! It could have of course been the persistence, but lets say it was the staff

seems to be like per person or something. its odd.
i think if i zoned and came back like 20-30min after it slowed down A LOT. it start up again nice. i have not done them in months and just now

1/2 on items^^ 0/305 on gugs and 1/162 lik(i turned in 60. and then saw a guy with some after it raded them all in i said "wtf 1 more..." duh no item then said "ok one last one this is it!" and bam there it is lol 160 fished no items buy 2 get it ~_~ on-words to gugs!

FUCK YOU "Followed by abou 59 other fuck yous"

lol why? you see my numbers ~_~ the lik one was not to bad but im still after gugs(and i hope i get it soon 0/305 I moved away from them. idk if i should fish lik and sell them or go after my 2nd ring now and do gugs.

the obe guy is a lucky sob. hes a aboc owner. but he also was 76 fishing when he got both his items.... he dinged into a E rod...

edit: ah lol i see you are 0/123 on lik^^? lol i just hope your lik luck is not as bad as my gug luck. gugs seem to have a lower drop rate(based off other wiki numbers) idk how much i trust that... but my nukbers do side with it.

then again i think the rate he guts the items are so bad its all up to luck. like anything else a .5 drop rate is nuts.

oh ya there had to be like 14 people in the LS at the time when i got the item... only got 3 grats ; ; no one loves the boss. and one was from obe from some other LS.

edit II: im getting a big "fuck you" by SE... about 30 lik today and iv landed two of them.
like 20 line breaks and 10 rod breaks.... i have not had a bad run like this in idk how long lol

[Indalecia]

Cause I just wanna see Opal Silk in my inventory
