Big Fish and You - Patch 2.4 (speculation (or is it? :))

i was doing the same thing and i thought the exact same way to i think its balloon bug as well but i cant figure out this damn fish and its driving me crazy but i will keep trying to figure it out

If it was in Analogy to the Helicopryon:
Rarest condition->Zonespecific Condition->shared mooch with other big fish in area

is that really confirmed? I'd more than 10 mooches during fog -> heat and never got a big bite and uknow wrote he got a bite with insufficient gathering while tripel heat

I've caught an HQ Rhamphorynchus after the patch, and it wasn't moochable. Just saying to strike out this option.

is someone able to translante this? :p

I have a theory about Helicoprion.

If you look at what Uknow said about getting an 'insufficient gathering' message during triple heatwave and that he had caught 2 Magic Carpets beforehand, I think the Helicoprion conditions are less to do with weather changes and more to do with catching it during Heatwave at a specific time.

Everyone can confirm it's heatwave so we can take that as pretty much a given. However, Magic Carpet catch time is 09:00-17:00 and the catch times for Helicoprion are listed as 13:00-19:00 which would coincide with a Magic Carpet catch window meaning that Uknow's lost catch was probably in the 16:00-00:00 weather window. In addition we know Tiger hasn't had any luck on 10+ mooches during Inclement weather -> Heatwave (although we don't know what time period this was) so it just makes sense to assume the catch conditions are Heatwave and somewhere between 13:00-19:00. I'll try during this window when it's up and let you know if I have any luck.

Just finished Ironworks Fishing Rod. First on Ultros that I am aware of. The look isn't what I had expected/hoped, pretty underwhelming. :/

ya, but if its something trivial like just weather + time many other people should have already caught them, but there arent any updates for days

This is a good point but the same can be said for why there have been no updates if it's fog/overcast->heat or if it's triple heat, as both have been up in the last few days (and fog/overcast -> heat is not that rare it seems, I've seen it 3+ times since the last update before yours on angler.com). I'm not saying this is an exact science, it's just a theory and to me it makes the most sense based on the information we have :) At this point there's not really anything to lose by seeing if it's right.

I agree that there must be some additional condition, or the RNG is absolutely horrible. I try to spend every single Fog ->Heatwave trying to catch the damn fish, but haven't even seen a single bite yet.

the legendary fish desynth to grade IV materia

I'ld never desynth them, except nepto probably, getting the others is a too big pain, lol
