Big Fish and You - Patch 2.3

For the matriarch, at 341 gathering, I managed to hook it in snowing conditions, using a a smelt to mooch. However, I had insufficient gathering to reel it in. Time 8:30 ET.

I ate a spinach quiche to bring myself to 360, let's see if this works, getting fc buff soon for 375 at max food buff.

Even at 375, I was still snapping the line. I'm going to get the remainder of my gryphonskin accessories made at this point and see what I can do about finishing my upgraded rod before pursuing this.

Btw, hooks were made in snow, clear, and cloudy weather throughout an Eorzean Day. I went 0/7 at 375 gathering. Slippery she is.

Huckster, I understand what you are looking for, but at this time I am going to leave things the way they are. When we get at least 10 to 15 more new fish that warrants a more organized lay-out I'll go ahead and include it, but at this time I'm thinking people will just want to look at the updates and just see what's new.

Since Matriarch is being bleh atm for me, I'm going to look for levinlight today. I think I have a good feeling on what his catch conditions are. We'll see tonight though.

I managed to catch the Matriarch with 349 gathering on 3rd bite. Might have been lucky but it's possible. ^^
Conditions were Blizzard at 3 am.

The Warden's Wand/ caught at 7.50 p.m. clear weather.
339 gathering

Update # 5 - Magic Carpet, discovered by Xiao in the Sagoli Desert of Southern Thanalan, using a Sand Leech to Storm Rider (HQ) mooch. He caught it at 9:38 am during a Heatwave, with a Gathering Rate of 359.

I can confirm isn't a factor nor time it seems for the Matriarch. Caught mine midday in clear weather. Missed 3 out of 4 times with 370 gathering.

I meant weather and you can't edit posts on mobile.

I don't really understand why they're dragging this hardcore fishing out even more. I mean FIFTY new big fish? It's getting a little ridiculous... Nobody even appears to be all that interested, at least not in the way we were with the first 37.

Honestly I'm not as interested as I was. Seems like the devs really don't give two fish about this class. The desynth (so far) has been a waste of time too. It's so hard to catch two-star fish even when you are geared to the teeth. Add the fact that they don't even seem to care that a tacklebox would make this class a lot better and fish do not give fieldcraft demimateria for the new fishing pole. They've taken my favorite class and pooped on it.
