Quick question, of all the moghouse furniture to enhance fishing which should I be after? Another thread says stall is all I need but wanting confirmation that that's true. The only furniture I have in my house atm is a Panetiere. What's the best moghouse setup for a fisherman?

Stall only. That's all that matters.

Couple questions:

If buying minnows from NPC, how many do they carry?

Are line breaks related to difference in your skill vs fish skill?

So basically stock up as soon as the shop opens, yeah?

Also, can Gugrusaurus bite on non-pirate trips?

I believe they restock 5 every day, so you can only buy 5 if it was cleared out the day before. Also worth noting is that the price of minnows goes up if the demand goes up on guild npcs, so if it is expensive and you know it's not being camped (which may be hard to judge sometimes since there are several fishing guilds and people said they link), it might be worth it to wait for a day or 2 so the price goes back down! :) The best time for lots of cheap minnows is right after maintenance.

They appear in mhaura/whitegate ferries as well as pirate ships. So yes if you're talking about mharua<->whitegate, and no if you're talking about mhaura<->selbina. Be warned they have crazy stamina!

I'm already aggravated going 0/750 so far on my mule and I'm catching them with an Ebisu. I can't imagine the pain you're about to go through... Good luck man lol.

i just went 1/~60 Lik and 1/~400 Gugs to get my Ebisu items. And yes I caught them all myself with a Lu Shang's. Don't give up, you'll make it. It's way more satisfying completing the quest yourself than just buying the fish to turn in. There aren't many things left in this game that give a sense of accomplishment, this was one I will always remember (along with catching all 10,000 carp myself for when I got Lu Shang's).

I broke my rod 10x the first day. Hauled in less than a dozen lik and maybe 6 gugrusaurus. It broke most in Lufaise for the lik. I'm going back to buying fish, the back and forth is a waste of time Q.Q

If you have other means to pull in gil, I'd strongly suggest going that route and buying the fish. It could take you forever with Lu especially if you're on the ***side of luck and end up into the 0/1000s.

At the end of it all it's not even about pride, it's about how fast you can get to start fishing in Beaucedine Glacier lol. Buy the fish.

So.. I have a quick question for fishing up Hakuryu, Is it best to go with bait(Slices of xxx fish) or lures? Does it just really depend on what you have space for the most?

It mostly depends on your server actually. If there's a lot of fishermen on your server, chances are you're going to spend hours each day just to camp enough minnows for the day. The best route is to fish Bastore Sardines up on a mule and make your own paste out of them. Or you can take one day off out of the week to fish Sardines with your main, that should hold you over for a few days. Bite rate tends to be lower on Sardine Paste but you save hours and gil from camping guilds so comes out to about the same thing at the end of the day.

Just a fair warning to anyone looking to build an Ebisu, don't rely on the ffxiclopedia average numbers lol. I went 1/900 on Gugs on my main and finally 1/1100 on my mule. That ~150 average means nothing -_-

You guys/girls who are using bait for Haks, how many Haks are you averaging per 99-stack of bait? Just curious since I know its a shitty bite-rate and you're bound to break lines frequently.

Usually start my runs with 10-11 stacks after crafting 8 stacks of Sardines, nets me anywhere between 70-90 Haks.

Just what I was looking for, thanks! I plan on making my sardine bait too. I figured 2-3 stacks (my original thought) was too little!
