This new batch of big fish pretty much requires you to have the i70/75 rod and max melded gear. And food.

I edited my post, I finally caught it at 353 gathering.

Your gathering rate at the time please?

I "finally" caught Meteor Survivor in the Salt Strand, Lower La Noscea, at 3:43 am in Overcast weather using Rat Tails, Gathering Rate 373. This all falls within the current posted guidelines. Just posting this to confirm that the current posted guidelines are so far accurate. With a Desynthesis Skill of 86.79, I had a 62.00% chance of success, which I predictably failed.

Added - Southern Thanalan - Zahar'ak - Discobolus - Glowworm - Heatwave - 1 pm to 2 pm - Gathering <374
Adjusted - Mirrorscale to 3 pm, Gathering Rate <383

Helmsman's Hand of North Umbral Isles is above 353 gathering to catch, I got a too low gathering msg.

I caught a Cupfish in the Blind Iron Mines, Lower La Noscea, at 5:53 pm in Wind weather using Syrphid Basket, Gathering Rate 373. This all falls within the current posted guidelines. Just posting this to confirm that the current posted guidelines are so far accurate. With a Desynthesis Skill of 86.79, I had a 62.00% chance of success, in which I got an ounce of Minium and one Water Crystal.

Shark Tuna caught at 353, fair weather at 8h30 pm.
Desynth failed at 86.66 at 62% :C

I caught a shark tuna at costa del sol during the known window in clear weather. Desynthed them to receive a pair of summer sandals.

It was maxed out at 393. I'm gonna crank it as high as I can get it when attempting to catch these things XD

Friend told me a theory that the higher the perception, the bigger the fish is and, the bigger it is, the more chance it runs away.
Not sure if there's any truth in this, could just be rng after all.

On the website (http://na.ff14angler.com), someone caught Old Hollow Eyes around 2pm during Fog weather using a Copperfish mooch. I caught one myself around 11pm (also during Fog), so it's available at least from 2pm - 11pm. I didn't use food or fc buff for this one as I kinda forgot to, so Gathering stat was 359.

LevinLight - Everschade fishing hole - Central Shroud - Syrphid Basket - 8 pm to 11 pm - Gathering rate <382

Thank you Shane.

I'm looking at what we have left, and I am guessing that Haukke Manor will be Bloodbath from a Honey Worm to Silverfish (HQ) mooch (or) Midge Basket to Ala Mhigan Fighting Fish (HQ) mooch.

I am also thinking that Sweetnewt will be found in the Lavender Beds.

Terpischorean has something to do with dancing. Can anyone think of a way this might fit into one of the remaining fishing spots?

Was checking on the Anomalocaris.
http://jp.ff14angler.com/fish/285 shows that they were mostly caught in the daytime while you have it in the nighttime, I myself went to fish there during nighttime and barely got a bite.

Fixed thank you. I make so many changes to the main page that sooner or later I'm bound to make a mistake. I appreciate the assist.

North Bronze Lake - King of the Spring - Spinnerbait - 4 pm to 5 pm - Fog - Gathering Rate <372

If you see this Torquere I just want to say thanks for plugging my spreadsheet. :D

Had no idea, was only just informed by one of my contributors, Kyru.

Thanks again :D

Got the gathering insufficient message at 367 gathering when trying to catch the frill shark. Seems like there is no weather/time constraint since someone else posted they caught it at 1 pm with windy/gale weather and I got the message at 8 pm with fog.

edit -

I forgot, it could also be conditional weather since it also gives that message. Though the time might not be accurate, I need to fish more when the weather is active and at different time since the person who told me didn't have a screenshot to confirm if he is right or not.

Caught a twitchbeard with 348 gathering.

Thank you. Updated.

If you can read Japanese, please translate - specifically - What is a Bull fly ??

東アジェレス川 ET0:00頃快晴と7:00頃晴れ スナーブルフライ 獲得370で釣れました

I think its a snurble fly

http://jp.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...m/8f2ed8aa99c/
http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...m/8f2ed8aa99c/

It's a Snurble Fly. I can't read Japanese outside of Katakana, but I can make out that it clearly says Snurble Fly.

Hah .. Thank you. Google translates it to Database Whitener Bull Fly

Thank you Whyllo. Updated.

Shark Tuna got away with 383 gathering very rare occurance, but it'd be nice to let everyone know, hasn't happened when I had the FC buff up. Twitchbeard got away at 369 gathering.

The Drowned Sniper can be caught in fair weather too.

Atherlouse probably needs 380 gathering just like the Frilled Shark.

Update for the 2.3 maxed:
Gear:
- Main - Halycon Rod Supra - G153 P88
- Head - Forager's Hat - G4 P82
- Body - Fisher's Shirt HQ + melds (G11/P6) - G75 P38
- Hands - Fisher's Gloves HQ + melds (G8/P4) - G56 P4
- Waist - Dodore Survival Belt HQ + melds (G4/P3) - G4 P19
- Legs - Fisher's Gaskins HQ + melds (G6/P1) - G38 P4
- Feet - Fisher's Wading Boots HQ + melds (G1/P6) - G4 P38
- Neck/Ears/Wrists/Rings - Gryphon/Rose/Astral + melds (G5/P5) - G5 P5

Right now the max gathering you can get is:
- from gear - 359
- from company action (Live off the Land II) - 10
- from food (Spinach Quiche HQ) - 24
--------------------
Max pimped boosted gathering as of 2.3: 393

And perception:
- from gear - 298
- from company action (What You See II) - 10
- from food (Landtrap Salad HQ) - 19
--------------------
Max pimped boosted perception as of 2.3: 327

Caught a Thundergut at The Long Climb (Outer La Noscea) using a Stem Borer during Rain. Time was 8pm - 9pm. Gathering was 369.

Thank you Shane. Will update later. Just got back from a camping trip so going to unpack, clean up, and I'll be back later tonight to add in all the new stuff.

Is 380 confirmed as the minimum gathering for some of these fish? Thats quite a lofty number . . . even with Supra
