time to suicide

as if a 1 in 1.000 chance to get a bite after countless hours of fishing isnt worse enough
no, just let it escape, who cares about a fisher with max gathering

RNG is mean

I'm still lurking around with 100 fish, I lost every single f**** bite for the past 2 days, its just ridiculous

27 mooches during clear -> fog at northern thanalan so far, not a single big bite :thumbsup:
I'd like to smash my keyboard into the persons face who designed that..

got "Fish gets away..." in Cloudy (Overcast) after Rain in East Shroud (Magicked Mushroom)

EDIT:
Managed to land one in the last second before the weather change!
"You land a magicked mushroom measuring 27.3 ilms!" :D

fixed - thx

what fish are required for each stage of the feast of famine quest?? I see that some are complete and have the rod already congrats!! and some are very close :) but i still have not seen any confirmed information on which fish are required for each part of the new fishing quest. I, as well as I am sure others would appreciate any info on what fish are required for each new stages of the new quests. It would give us some small accomplishment to finish this while we strive for the 106/106 and rod :)

thanks in advance for sharing and al lthe info everyone has shared upto date on the new big fish.

You don't need to catch any of the 400+ gathering "living legends" required for Feast of Famine to get the i80 rod and 106/106 achievement. There are 112 big fish, so the six needed for Feast of Famine conveniently are not required for Go Big or Go Home X. I'm fairly certain they did this intentionally - you get the 106 other big fish, get the new rod that gives you enough gathering to get the last 6, then complete Feast of Famine.

Pretty sure at this point Feast of Famine works like this:

Catch Namitaro at Urth's Gift, Endoceras at Isle of Umbra South Shore, and Helicoprion at Sagolii Desert for the Black Shroud/La Noscea/Thanalan part of the quest. Then catch Kuno the Killer at North Shards, and Shinosaurus at Witchdrop for the Coerthas/Mor Dhona part. Then catch Nepto Dragon for the final part.

35 mooches during clear -> fog and still no wootz knifefish bite

i start to believe that its bound to time (~1-3am et) + fog instead of clear + fog >_>

when do you caught yours uknow?

Also even if the buff expires, as long as you cast your line beforehand, you can still catch the big fish. I caught mine seconds after it expired up in Witchdrop.
