Shaper's Shawl - Why?

[Godofgods]

I'll also continue to claim you are lazy until you decide to actually level your fishing skill.

kinda says it all about him'

It shouldn't be Veteran crafting skill to obtain, I'd put it ~60 where skill up naturally declines and with a high Guild Points cost it still wouldn't be easy to obtain. Though even if it was a Veteran item it would help with subcrafts and 110 which is by far the worst thing in the game at the moment. Getting it before 60 would actually be bad since in most cases crafts are profitable 1-60.

I disagree with that actually. I think it should be a lvl 100 item. We already have +1 equip and furniture in the the mid/high levels. Also, everyone complains about things being made to easy. Having it at 100 would guarantee that they did one craft legitimately, and earned this reward. Which could then be used to work on sub craft, and in the new higher lvls that they are looking at putting out (100+).

To be honest, if it was given a significantly high Guild Points value then the level you can obtain it at would hardly even matter. I accumulated a total of well over 300,000 Guild Points taking Alchemy from 1-90, literally stopping at 60 (as I suggested) to obtain 500,000 Guild Points would be foolish at best though the possibility to obtain it would at least be be there none-the-less. The level it is possible to obtain it at really doesn't seem all that important, I only suggest 60 because, as I said, that is when skill up naturally declines and profitable skill ups become rarer, ultimately this item is only really needed for 90-110 though (though most 90-100 recipes are probably far easier than I remember now).

But yeah, if they gave this a 500,000 Guild Points cost then they could stick it at the lowest possible rank and people would still only obtain it at the higher ranks, obtaining Guild Points is just too much of a pain at low levels. It would be possible do with 1,000 Guild Points a day but blahblahblah opportunity costs blahblahblah.

Unfortunately for those of us without 6 years to cap Fishing or that actually have stuff to spend our gil on SE is not gonna change this. Not even if 90% of the population were to come on here and ask them too. Unfortunately this is just another of the ways SE has been sticking it to large parts of the population of the game with no real reason too. But I think once the server numbers start to decline again they will probably fix it along with the other parts of the game. People that are hardcore need to remember the people who are casuals subsidize your gaming experience. If it was not for us the game would be offline. So stop being such douche bags.

Mmmmmk..... Yeah, its a little much, but considering few would take on the 10k moats , its not too far fetched to guess that peps not willing to do that, would see this as impossible, shoot I did too, but then Anji-san and Fearless Leader started in on it about a month ago, (3-5 weeks), and holy cow pies they finnished, (well one of em, but the other will be there soon)...(they do have awesome jobs and get to play a lil more than the average Joe, but not much). Bottom line, fishing isnt for everyone, i thought it was for me, but @29 skill along time ago it was made clear that i lack patience...... And in the end, if you want this, thats all it will take..... Things were never suppose to be just given to us, and for me, if i aint having at least a litte fun toward it, f that noise, let the ones who want to, do it, remember walking isnt for the birds.

For me fishing, is something you only do when your really REALLY bored, high or drunk because that kind of patience you have to be born with LOL. Besides other than cooking fish really arent needed all that much so there isnt a real market for it to me so there is no profit margin in it to me but to be fair i'm only like level 9 fishing and have been there for about a year almost 2 now and dont plan on changing that anytime soon if ever.

So true'
Ive said it before and ill say it again. I have enough patience to cap (100/60) all my crafts (and almost all before the release of abby.) But i just don't have enough for fishing.

Then you should be glad to know that you can also buy the fish from bazaars and auction houses! No fishing required!
The fishing route is for stingy die-hards, the buy route allows you to do whatever you want, as long as it pays gil.
500k/fish on Bismarck, 300-800k on other servers. Seeing as people are lining up to buy the fish at that price, it must be worth it. And at least on Bismarck, the AH is never out of fish.

You still need to have fishing to 30 to flag the quest. Or at least high enough that with gear you hit 30. So, yeah, some fishing is required.

Worth it for the Fisherman selling the fish, not the ones buying the fish for the shawl.

So... it's not deliverable between characters on the same account? This thing's existence just killed any incentive for me to profess in a different craft on one of my mules...
