Heavensward Fishing Finds!

Fishing folklore books work despite the text bug when you use it. No new fish are added to the guide because they are already in the guide. You just need to find them in existing holes and when you fish them up they will have a tag in your log that they are from the folklore book

Caught Lavalord from Halo in the Forelands with fish eyes. Mooched from HQ granite crabs. Lavalord's tag in the fish guide says he is from the book of Dravanian folklore

Noticed today that it seems that all fishing holes which contain Reducible items are marked with a unique symbol in the fishing log. It has a fish with some "sparkle" around it.

I think that just means Gulleye is required. Look at Hyperstellar Downconvertor.

Does anyone know what the "Catch and Release" buff (increased chance of catching large fish) comes from? I'm on the Upper Thaliak river and I think it has something to do with fishing but I don't know how I triggered it. It was on an identical timer to when I used Perception.

Tharl Oom Khash

Sky Faerie
Cloud Rider
Rudderfish
Brown Bolo
All four of these can be straight catches or mooched from sky faerie using the red balloon bait

Cobrafish: Mooched off of rudderfish during umbral static weather.

Storm Chaser: Mooched off of rudderfish during umbral static weather. Was a massive tug and I caught it at 11:22 a.m. Eorzea Time.

My stats: 529 gathering, 452 perception.

It comes with Patience II buff.

I'd like to add to catching Hinterland Perch at Thaliak River, it can be mooched from Sweetfish or straight catch, big fish tug animation. It doesn't seem to have a fixed time, caught 2 between 3-5pm fair skies, another around 8pm raining, and at 12am while it was still raining.

I was also got into a 4-6 cycle of mooching Sweetfish into another Sweetfish, anyone found that odd?

Any1 have any idea about the catching method of either "Capelin" or "Spring Urchin"?

Caught Berserker Betta in Middle Thaliak River. Mooched from HQ Bullfrog at 8:11am clear weather. Requires Dravanian fishing folklore

Azys Lla- The Habisphere (there's a small 5 yalm section you can fish from at the very NE edge)

Tupuxuara
Stats: 475 Gathering / 380 Perc
Bait: Red Balloon
Time: 4pm, stopped biting from rudder fish mooch at 6pm
Weather: Thunder / Cloudy
Stance: Snagging

Collectable / Aetherial Reduction
Mooched from a hq rudderfish also caught without a mooch.

Chain 1: Sky faerie --> Rudderfish --> Tupuxuara
Chain 2: Sky faerie --> sky sweeper

Been trying for several hours now to hook a Cometoise. My fisher is level 57 BiS pre 3.0. (401/318). I'm probably not even fishing in the right place. I tried the Mourn, and all I got was Granite Crab, Lava Crab, and one Cindersmith while snagging. In the tooltip, it states that its in the magma near the Halo. I tried fishing at the Halo, but it seems you need to be level 60 there. I can't fish even if I try. The only bait I've tried (or even know to try in lava) is Magma Worm. Can someone please help me out?

Nevermind found it, can be caught at The Mourn or Anyx Old, mooched off granite crab, I believe it has to be Dust Storm weather because they didn't start biting mooches until the weather changed. It's either that or midnight + because that's when it changed.

So I desynthed the fish I caught from leveling to 60 and managed to get a few Chimera Manes. Thing is I did it so fast I don't know which fish desynthed into the manes. Does anyone know?

Hundred Fin from Weston Waters does.

Manasail: Started catching these at 11:00 a.m. Eorzea Time and didnt get any more after 1:00 p.m. Mooches off of rudderfish and you can use aetherial reduction on it. Weather was clear when I caught them.

Coarthas Done!

For those wondering about he lvl 60 quest, using the GP buffs is not required, but helps. I ended up catching my Catkiller hq through normal means. Bladed steel lure does make it a LOT easier to get your toads.

For those who caught Green Carp what were the exact conditions? Because I'm convinced nothing exists in the Hundred Throes but those Blue Shrimp and whatever they mooch into.

Green Carp? you mean grass carp, goblin lure

is there a timeframe for catkiller?? every bullfrog mooch i do its always yalm lobsters :(

Yep,... HQ Catkiller. Cloudtop, Eddies. Clear Skies 11pm to 3am. Bait Purse Spider Web, or Stonefly Nymph. Patience, Hook, HQ Hedgemole Cricket, Mooch, Precision Hookset, HQ Bullfrog, Mooch, Powerful Hookset, HQ Catkiller. May get Lucky and get Bullfrog HQ and skip first part, make sure you use Powerful to attempt to catch HQ Catkiller. good luck. Patience not required, but does make HQs easier to get.

There's no timeframe. You can catch them at anytime. You'll know when you got it because it's the big tug

hmm so big tugs in HW have to be caught with powerful hookset?? is there any lists of fish that can only be caught with certain hooksets??

tyvm ill try that laters :3

So how do you get the reducible fish? Is there a time requirement like for mining / botany or weather, etc?

Idk if you were aware of this, but it seems Catkiller is during Clear/Fair weather only. Anything other should always give you Yalm Lobsters.

You don't need to use any GP skills to catch the catkiller though it certainly helps. I spent 3hrs using the bladed jig just mooching HQ bullfrogs and caught 4 NQ catkillers and finally my 1 hq catkiller. I don't have enough GP yet to use a single skill due to waiting on upgrading my right side. It is certainly time / weather dependent though since otherwise you'll only mooch yalm lobsters.

487 Gathering / 410 perception

Just came to my attention from a fellow fisher, is this the record for nepto dragon?

yeah i thought it was wierd i wasnt gettin any... read alot of info about catkillers are anytime frame n any weather lol for abit i thought i had bad luck then after a while im like nope cant be my luck xD

it rather annoys me, as someone who doesnt really care to push hard for endgame content (nor has the time to do so around a fulltime job, and a family) that you are forced to do the main questline in order to unlock most of the fishing holes, and even unlock the fishing quests. i should be able to focus on disciples of the land independently of disciples of war.

loosetongue caught 1500ET fair, mooch of sweetfish, bladed jig. In my experience, i only got the hard tug after a double mooch of sweetfish. HQ sweetfish->HQ sweetfish-> loosetongue

Coerthas: Capelin, Spring Urchin
Dravania: Lavalord, Berserker Betta, Loosetongue

Currently there are 7 folklore fishes among 423 fishes. Have fun :D

I've been using this site which seems quite good.

I noticed three new fish in the fish log for 3.1. Anyone find anything on them?
