Fish ranking ring? D's been using one since level 2 and he's level 79 now. So it must be amazing since it hasn't taken him very long.

Don't fish bought from the AH lose their weight/length stats?

No way, but its random and you cant see what your buying.

Find a fishing friend or someone that has high level fishing that would be willing to help. The ring is totally worth any cost < 1 mil tbo but don't pay that lmao.

You can get one of the top 25 fish (to get the ring) if you fish the fish for a day or two to meet the requirements.

o.0 Are you sure they stack? With only one ring active, you can get double skillups. The ring doesn't improve skillup rate, but rather gives a second slot for a possible skillup. That's why you will rarely see double skillups. You would need to see a triple skillup to prove that two rings stack.

Yea, they do stack. 2 rings gives each fish caught 3 chances at a skill up. Makes skilling up a lot faster.

Fish for profit, skill-ups are just a bonus on the side. It takes a special kind of crazy to be a fisherman.


i had a friend who levelled fishing to 100 playing on xbox.. i know using the controller to fish for that would have driven me crazy haha

I did Shall Shells on the dunes beach until 55, then Nashmau for mercanbaligi/ahtapot. When ahtapot cap you can switch to a sinking minnow for pterygotus. Stay in Nashmau until at least 92. If you're fishing to cap everyday you should average about 4.0-6.0 in skillups/day until the 70's.

-Oh and for most fish, skillups tend to be better @ new moon, bite rate better @ full moon.

another way you could go (which is the path i went,) is fishing nebimonites at sea serpent grotto lake til 23? then shall shells at buburimu beach til 52? then i got a lu shangs rod and fished black sole til 96 on qufim island shore. if you fish 200 a day you can make back the money for the lushangs in about 3 weeks depending on how expensive it is on your server, just by npcing the fish, or if you sell on AH, youll make back the gil slightly quicker.

AH is quicker, but damn am I lazy. I'm actually happy that they don't sell so high on the AH that way its easier for me to npc them w/o feeling guilty for my laziness :3




btw, how does everyone feel about the new Angler's Discernment/Senses system?

When your skilling up do you see it a lot? I never get to really experience these great new additions because I've been capped for so long ; ;.

That's really strange. I've seen large fish in bazaars and stuff in the past that didn't have a height/weight shown (that otherwise should have height/weight), and I always assumed that the fish lost those stats when placed on the AH.

I'm not sure what happens if you sell a fish that you turned into fish ranking through the AH, that might wipe off the marker and leave no weight/length data.

You'll love it :) It makes fishing a lot more fun then being restricted by certain rods and limitations.

You going to go for ebisu eventually flion? or not considering it right now?

Yeah I'm working on getting an Ebisu, but I'm completely fishing for profits right now on Black Sole. It's so much easier to fish them up with a Lu shangs lol.

It's pretty easy to hit cap every day just fishing casually :)

200 Moat Carp would be about... 3 hours

200 Black Sole is about 6 hours?

It has been a long time since I've fished black sole, it might be 4-5 hours.

Fishing Dil/Merc's/Pots until you reach 200 would probably be 4-5 hours as well.

200 Hakuryu would be about 20 hours on the other hand.

It's about 5 hours on a good day, but spread out fishing 30 minutes here and there between chores, it's pretty easy to hit cap. I get around 150k a day doing that.

I keep getting people trying to MPK me in Qufim though which is a pain, I don't know why people hate fishers so much :/

It is a pain, but I can deal with it. It's funny seeing all the AFK fishers going down though lol.

I had a few issues fishing a monke onke for cap break, but I managed to get one eventually >.>
