Silver Shark Questions

I'm trying to get these for a crafter in my guild but I'm not sure how.... I was told south bloodshore in eastern la noscea but I have no idea what bait I need to get the fish I need to use in order to mooch it. Also, is it even possible to get it at level 25? Any help would be greatly appreciated :D

You're right on the location (one of the locations), but I doubt you'll catch them at level 25. For that location, you need to use Spoon Worms to catch a HQ Fullmoon Sardine (only caught at night), and use that to mooch for the Silver Shark. At level 25, you're more than likely not going to be able to catch them. I did catch a couple at level 30 though, so it's up to you if you want to try. Make sure your gear is good for your level.

Do you know who much Shark Oil runs on your server? Because I'm selling Sharks on my server for 3-4,000.

*EDIT* Need Hammerhead as well using Yumizuno lure (level 48 lure) found at Western La Noscea at Halfstone with a Northern Kill or a Streamer. Just FYI.

That'd be nice. Silver Sharks are going for around 200gil on my server, and no one is selling Hammerheads. I might fish up some Hammerheads just to see if anyone will buy them. I'll have to check and see if Shark Oil is selling.

thanks, appreciate the info. Is there a better alternative spot to get them then that doesnt require night time or?

I don't know. I just remember seeing them somewhere else. I haven't bothered with trying to figure out the best spot for them because, like I said above, they are only selling for around 200gil a piece on my server.

Hopefully someone else can post, and help you out.

On top of fullmoon sardines you can catch them with HQ merlthor goby's too. However, Silver sharks are a lvl 30+ fish, so you probably won't catch them at level 25.

The reason they are so expensive is because the fullmoon sardine is a fish used in crafting and for the class quest, so it sells good in it's own right, and to waste an HQ fish getting a silver shark will require a lot of gil. Hence the high price.

I went to Summerford X:14 Y:15 ish which is in middle La Noscea and used lugworms. You tend to catch only herrings and gobies but if the goby is HQ then it allows you to mooch the silver shark. I don't think night/day really has any significant effect here. If you happen to find a bait that only attracts goby though please let me know! :)

Yea I'm guessing you really need to be near 50 to be able to have the gear (read: perception) to fish them reliably... I'm level 30 now and I've been fishing a bunch in south bloodshore, I've only gotten 1 HQ fullmoon sardine and it didn't even yield me a shark, instead I pulled in a blue octopus :(

It's a lot easier to just use Lugworms and mooch Merlthor Gobies instead of going for the time restricted sardines. Getting Blue Octopus instead of the shark seems to be about 1/10 chance for me.

Iron Jig, Silver Bazaar, 95% catch rate. Why are you people trying to catch everything in so complicated way?
