The consensus is a clear weather. The time of the catch seems to be from mostly in the daytime.

Yup. Caught mine at noon Eorza time in sunny weather.

approx 6 hours of fishing now 343 gathering and 287 perception, and not a single HQ ss.

Yep, right at the end I actually caught three HQ sovereigns in a row. Lost each of them, with the last one taking my yumizuno. Major pain in the ass.

I had entertained being server first with the rod, but whatever now I guess. Damned work. I should have called in sick xD.

anyone catch any of the other new big fish? Ive got both the rod and the hat now and want to put them to use :p

Well, got my last HQ sovereign within 5 minutes of casting after work. I guess I'll have to make do with "server almost-first."

It's a standard horn rod, but pretty. I'm seriously torn over whether I should glamour my luminary onto it. On one hand, it is pretty. On the other, I've grown attached to my luminary these last two years. I don't want to let go.

EDIT: Now that most people have gotten their rods, let's get to the real point of this thread: Collecting data on all the big fish.

Well I just got off work. I haven't got the hat though but I just might be server first with the rod if I can catch it fast enough.

Forager's Rod obtained! Lamia server. 10 more Silvers and time to hunt these Lords.

nice

i'm now at:
82nq
17hq
