hey everyone :D i have a quick question about GP item today for me. it's apparently "Veydal Wrasse" and looking up on wiki, there's no information about how many you need for the maximum GP you can get from that fish. anyone know anything about this stupid fishy? :>


Looking on wiki - says 3.7. so 4 for cap.

yeesh, apparently i'm blind ._.;; thank you~

Just bought the whole fishing armor set and I have the specs already. Looking into the torgue. Any other fishing skill + items? No weapons or anything, right? And I know about the rings that I'll eventually have to get, but not yet really.

I had no idea you could do that! I've searched for stuff only by going to a category and ctrl + f for whatever I'm looking for. Thank you!

Nashmau bite rate last night was attrocious. Is there anywhere else I can single out Breams? Or just a good alternative to Nashmau that doesn't involve Black Sole(58 fishing and Black Sole make me /rage).

Fishing in Port Windurst with a minnow, sinking minnow, or shrimp lure will catch only Bream.

Awesome. I'll give it a try tonight and see how it compares to Nashmau. If nothing else it means I won't have to waste time riding the boat, which is always a plus.

It's better than waiting 3 months for zaldon to give you the two items, and receive the shoot an hour after conquest tally making you wait a whole week. <3

I couldn't tell you, I haven't fished there for probably 6 years or better. It used to be a really popular RMT spot back when you could catch an unlimited amount of fish in a day, and bream sold for like 1,400 gil to the vendors.

I usually wait till about apprentice or journeyman phase before I worry about GP fish. The fish:points ratio is just really poor on the first few phases of the cycle.

The amount of time it would take you to unlock synergy, buy the materials, and find someone to craft it would be around the equivalent of 2 or 3 boat rides to Nashmau.

Just sayin...

I guess I should have specified that I was a lazy bum. I'll get around to it once I get some sky gear what needs augmenting. It's just not very high on my list of priorities.

I went from 50ish to 86 in Talacca Cove: Mercanbaligi, Ahtapot and Dil. Great bite rate (certainly better than town), and now that monsters are easy to cancel on, no risk.

Now I'm having trouble finding anything nearly as fast :(. I've tried sole (decent bite rate, slow skill), armored pisces (little too tough to reel in consistently at this level) and pterygotus (good skill, but the bite rate is driving me insane). Anything else I should be trying?

My main goal is to get in to the 90s while finishing GP so I can start catching gugs. 0/556 so far, and I'm going to run out of gil if this ***continues for much longer.

My bf was doing some testing today since he obtained ebisu. Only good data is the %'s since my character was fishing longer than his.

DameionKalilla
Fishing: 90-93 (lots of skillups today)
HQ fishing body/hands/legs & Ebisu
Noddy & Puffin Ring
Fishing 100
Fishing smock, HQ gloves/legs, waders, fishing torque
No Rings, he stole mine >.>
Stall & signboard
Total Casts:250N/ATotal Casts:461N/A
Total Catches:6224.8%Total Catches:408.7%
Hakuryu:145.6%Hakuryu408.7%
Black Sole:4819.2%Black Sole:00.0%
No Catches:10742.8%No Catches:19442.1%
Unwanted:6827.2%Unwanted:20344.0%
Line Snaps:1285.7%Line Snaps:1230.0%

Using sinking minnow of course, and also this wouldn't be valid data to post as averages. This is just an example of someone with fishing gear/furnishings and all that stuff, and someone with just the basics.

Also he was using my rings so I didn't use puffin or noddy. I think it is because of the level difference, also he wasn't fishing as long on his character compared to mine, that explains the huge difference between the number of casts.

Also, the unwanted is so much higher on mine because he wasn't catching black sole.

No where close to an accurate way to test.

I would of used the same level between characters, started at the same time and ended at the same time, yada yada, but I think gives something to the difference between fishing skill.

One thing is certain though, the line snaps are so different with a 7-10 difference between skill levels.

Skill Cap: 100
Fish Level: 120
Size: Large(three exclamation marks) !!!
Location Bait Normal Rings Rods
  • Beaucedine Glacier (Seaside)

  • Minnow

  • Sinking Minnow

Rare(8.9%)
Uncommon(10.9%)
Uncommon(10.7%)
Common(15.1%)
  • Ebisu Fishing Rod

    • Possible to snap line
      • Minnow --
        Very Common(31.8%)
      • Sinking Minnow --
        Very Common(33.8%)

Will Possibly Break:
  • Lu Shang's Fishing Rod *


When I do correct testing, this is my recording averages. This is from wiki/gamerescape.

Anyways, I thought it was interesting what 10 levels does to your total catches.

And did Dameion ensure to wipe his zone fatigue? The 48 soles would have added some as he continued.

He meant that if you stay in the zone fishing too long, you'll mostly catch items and junk

Reporting back from Port Windurst, the bite rate for Breams was pretty underwhelming. I'd say it's about the same or probably a bit worse than it is in Nashmau. That was kind of disappointing.

Maybe Arrapago Reef will yield better results, what with it being outside of town and all.

Problem with reef is minnow will target a couple other fish, and shrimp will still target ahtapots. There's the cove, but there's sole there.

How about sinking minnows in SSG?
