im pretty sure u must use penguin ring for gugs if your using lushang
i consider myself a very good self-proclaimed fish fighter but lushang w/o penguin on gugs made me rage and give up fishing gugs totally
i can deplete them like 30% of the time.....but all with timing out message
on top of that, snap, break rod, lack of skill etc is the real reason i give up
"FUCK YEA 0%!!!!!"
*presses enter*
You broke your rod/line/lack of skill x100
*rageeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee*
i didnt have any moghancement back then tho.only pure 99+5 when i tried before i got ebisu
sure was hell of a time
Hey Arthars, can't remember what you said about this before.
1. Was there a noticeable difference adding signboard on depletion
2. Was there a noticeable difference adding overwhelming water energy vs not overwhelming?
@Smokerx - Don't give up trying different slow down techniques, it took me awhile to figure out what works for me. Just this morning I realized I had cpukiller (Greedy Algorith) at 2% slow down which gets FPS down to about 15 and I couldn't reel them in very easily at all. Changed it to my normal 1% which gets FPS to about 18-22 and I can once again reel them in without much effort using only Ebisu + Albatross. I know you don't have ebisu and you will need penguin's, but my point was something as minor as 1% difference slow down on cpukiller makes all the difference for me.
I quested my Lu, got it 7/21/09. Probably 60/40 fishing up/buying carps. Currently working on a 2nd Lu on my mule account, just fishing on it whenever waiting for events to start or bored. Going to fish up all 10k on this one, @ 2k now, probably won't finish until early 2010.
At lvl 58 fishing now so still a bit before I start Ebisu.
I just received my Ebisu this morning.
My final count ended up being:
Gugrusaurus - 1/26
Lik - 1/385
Incidentally, my friend went 1/67 on Silk from the Lik I had left over from my trades.
I want to thank dejet(Jeyman) and Konoko for all the fish they sold me. Also would like to thank my friend Turpin for lending me almost all the money to accomplish this, cdgreg for posting a no-brainer leveling guide, and everyone in the fishing thread; your success stories kept me motivated.
Dude, I am 14/15 on both Morrigan and Marduk, and with the shell looking like it's going to stop in a month (I'm starting University, can't stay up til 4am 4 nights a week to lead), looks like I won't get either Lv35 Feet for full completion. Frogs and Dekka are just a fucking bitch...
Heya Nibu,
Thanks for your message which sure encourages me to continue this (ridiculous imo) quest.
At least you got Opal Silk ! Better than me ^^ That 5k deal is dead long ago. Was active two days only lol.
When seller realized he could make 2.5x the Gil selling to others, he stopped offering to me of course.
I am now buying Liks at 9,000. Quest returns 880 Gil so that is 8,120 Gil apiece. As it happens the problem here
is just Gil. I bought ALL 704 fishes. Some of them higher than 10,000 Gil. I calculate I already wasted 6.5-7.0 millions Gil
for nothing at best. It is quite frustrating.
I just got {Fisherman} 85 so no chance to fish them myself. (Serpent Rumors : O) I a not sure I even want to try when I got some
extra levels since all I read are stories on how hard it is to catch them, etc…
So imo, you get Ebisu if you:
1) Got extremely lucky, aka 1/XX.
2) Got a friend with Ebisu fishing them for you for free.
3) Got LOTS of millions to spend and keep buying fish like crazy until you just get drop from Zaldon.
4) Fish them yourself when you got to 100 and of course level WW to at least 68. (In my case delevel my Cooking 100)
Your thoughts are exactly mines. Feeling bitter at other’s Rods, not because of them, because of my Bad Luck+1 with the quest.
The thing is there’s nothing we can do lol. Avoid to read the thread will not improve our luck but honestly, I started to begin many of those 1/XX may be even BS.
On a funny note, did you already become paranoid? Examples:
- Check if you already got the item. (Don’t forget Mog Locker lol)
- Trade ONLY during Full Moon / New Moon
- Trade naked
- Trade naked + all your gear/stuff on your Mog House
- /bow to Zaldon before trading
{/sigh}
BTW, thanks for reading the LJ. It’s nothing special tho, I’m sure there’s hundreds of better blogs

By the way, if anybody wants to help out in Ragnarok, please /t me
just for the hell of it i did quest my Lu shang as well got the key item and everything !_!
to the guy above me. you left one option out
fish for gil and buy like 5-10 a day depend on your server. at a avg or 200. On AVG you would get it in 20 days. if you went 0/1000+ it take you around 4 months of nash fishing.
its not all that bad if you want it that bad.
so about 40 days of fishing for the normal person. that is less then it would take to fish up the lu shang yourself (all 10000 carp)
you seem to think the quest is all gil based... its not at all. ya having a load of gil helps. hell it helps with anything in this game. But there are many other ways to get around it like having WW lvled(how is that gil WW to 80 is cheap) and fisher in the past had to have wood lvled just about. lik/gugs on the AH is a new thing less then a year old i would say
all i can say is you are really close nibu
in FFXI, theres only a phrase i call "Sooner or later"
how many friends have i seen QQing over morrigan robes, usu body(like myself), etc etc etc for 261826238 days, and then eventually are wearing them now
your day will come, your numbers are now at a "anytime" mode now
its sooner or later or got banned ...
My message got deleted, likely due to {screenshot}.
Anyway, got my Opal Silk yesterday 1/746.

Thanks Nibu, your message encouraged me to keep trading and I finally got some luck.
Gugrusaurus time now.
Hehe, thanks for the encouragement! I have 101 gugrus ready to turn in tomorrow (during full moon, lightsday), and just in case that doesn't do the trick, I have a full supply of meatballs to fish with.
Well, I haven't given them any reason to ban me, so hopefully the latter doesn't happen However, a couple days ago I found out that the credit card I use to pay for my FFXI account had its information stolen (canceled it already), so I need to go through the trouble of getting another card, and then having to jump through the extra security hoops SE set up. Worst case scenario, I'll have to cancel my ID temporarily at the end of the month until I get things set up correctly, but I'll try to avoid doing that. I don't want to give any reason for SE to give me the stink eye.
ignore ahkow
his my cousin and got banned by SE for shouting nigger and creating a mule call blackestman lmao
Cjkenji got hers on 08/09/2009 Carbuncle server obviously~
