    By the way, to all people who bought lu shangs and didnt quest it, how often do you get the lack skill message while reeling in liks?

    In my 50-60 hooks I never once got the said message, ever, but my friend beside me who bought lu shangs off the ah said he got it about 1/3 of the time.

    Just wondering if any more study has been done towards the testimonial vs no testimonial aside from the one topic on titanictus?

    What are your respective fishing levels?

    I have the testimonial, and I get lack of skill just trying to reel in Ryugu Titans. I get the feeling I will be getting it a lot more when it comes time for Liks/Gugs.

    Yeah I've gotten the lack skill message on ryugus a number of times.

    Anyone know wtf some of these fish are for? I've seen a helluva lot that have 0 purpose whatsoever in game...

    Also, according to wiki / ffxi dev team, a megalodon is the size of an airship...

    To be honest, with any Final Fantasy RPG, you have to be reaaaaaaaaaaaaal liberal in your interpretation of space lol. If you were to make my gobbie bag real, I would be crushed under the weight of a combined armor shop/item store/fish market. Hell, with the mog satchel you can carry around 160 Dinosaurs in your backpacks.

    Inventory in most RPGs is more of a game balance thing than it is a reality anchor.

    I started lvling fishing on my mule to supplement my need for moat carp when I was questing Lu Shangs. Once I finished the quest I decided to keep going with my mule in addition to my main for the hell of it. I accidentally won a pelican ring on my mule instead of my main so that further fueled my interest to lvl fishing on my mule. I really havent gotten time to lvl my mules fishing in a while. When I was fishing things with a lot higher bite rate and I could hit fatigue on my main in 3-4 hours, it was a lot easier to switch over to my mule and make a little extra gil. Now that I'm fishing legendaries and almost never reach fatigue for the day, I really never have time to do some lvling on my mule. My mule is 56 now but I cant decide if I should hold onto my lu shangs for him or just sell it and give up my fishing on my mule. I'm kinda considering questing Ebisu again

    LOL Juib! That actually probably isnt too bad an idea now that you have an Ebisu to fish up the gugs and liks. It would almost be worth it just for lolz.

    Yeah i'm just afraid that since i got so lucky on my main that my mule is gonna go 0/500 on both fish. i have like 20 some gugs i'm having trouble getting rid of my main though so if i get too impatient i might just send them all over to my mule to trade to zaldon

    edit: im 0/423(had bad luck last time only got like 12-15 gugs before i had to log off.
    Seriously... don't sell your Lu Shang yet and don't spend Gil on trying to get the Ebisu item. Once you get the Ebisu you will probably not fish much at all. That's what happened to me. Questing the Ebisu was a major goal for me before I joined an HNM linkshell. It's cool to equip it and fish occasionally on the ferry on way to Einherjar etc. But I don't fish for long sessions at all now. No money in it really, unless you combine with cooking or bonecraft.

    I am totally selling my lu if/when I get ebisu. There is just no point for me in keeping it. 3mil in the pocket would also be pretty nice. I do kind of wonder if I will make time for fishing once I finish it lol. Hope it isnt like my fishingasm and Im out.

    Ebisu = license to print free gil. Fish that can break Lu Shang's will NPC for 1k +, auction house for 20k! (like lik).

    Plus, if you have fishing/alchemy you can just fish + synth them and make mega profit. I know what you mean by the "light at the end of the tunnel" but don't miss out on all the gil to be made by your hard work!

    Yeah, Lu is also kind of like a money stick. Ive been printing gil since the 30s lol. I was just trying to relate to how Darwinion feels. Once you overcome such a huge hurdle, all that energy just leaves you. I'm still climbing my way up, I'll decide where I go from there once I actually reach the summit lol.

    I apologize for the noob fishing question, but when you obtain an Ebisu fishing rod, can you pull in Liks and Gugs without the use of any rings? Or do you still need the rings, but you will just not have any rod breaks?

    As long as you and a friend have 20SMN, Albatross rings are pretty easy to get. We've tossed like 1 or 2 before we started doing Lik/Gugs.
