fishing for gil, choice of bait
hello all, I have been looking for the best way to make some gil from my fisherman. recently I have been fishing up red coral and blacklip oysters and selling them. so I thought why not find the best way to do this and share it.
so I did a little experiment to see which bait works best at fishing up the most HQ coral and oysters. here are the findings:
my equipment; lvl 50 fisherman (ilvl 47), using halcyon rod and fishing AF gear. my gathering was 259, perception 201. I generally did the fishing in the same weather to control for that, so no rain, usually only in daylight. fishing location is reaver hide in western la noscea. generally fishing attempts were around 125.
1- yumizono bait; lominsan anchovy 23 18%
lominsan anchovy HQ 5 4%
merlthor goby 26 20%
merlthor goby HQ 7 5%
red coral 24 19%
red coral HQ 4 3%
blacklip oyster 28 22%
blacklip oyster HQ 9 7%
total 126, 51% of which are useful fish (oysters and coral)
2- northern krill bait; lominsan anchovy 17 14%
lominsan anchovy HQ 7 6%
merlthor goby 21 17%
merlthor goby HQ 7 6%
rock lobster 3 2%
rock lobster HQ 2 2%
red coral 35 28%
red coral HQ 5 4%
blacklip oyster 24 19%
blacklip oyster HQ 3 2%
total 124; 53% of which are useful
3- Glowworm bait; lominsan anchovy 23 18%
lominsan achovy HQ 8 6%
merlthor goby 33 26%
merlthor goby HQ 6 5%
red coral 20 16%
red coral HQ 6 5%
blacklip oyster 21 17%
blacklip oyster HQ 8 6%
total 125; 44% of which are useful
4- heavy iron jig bait; lominsan anchovy 33 27%
lominsan anchovy HQ 10 8%
merlthor goby 27 22%
merlthor goby HQ 10 8%
red coral 34 27%
red coral HQ 10 8%
total 124; 35% of which are useful
red coral and blacklip oyster sell pretty decent in our market in Cerberus, relatively fast too, so nice source of steady income, they wont get u super rich though.
I guess overall northern krill is my favorite bait here, since it is close to the yuminzono in terms of coral and oysters fished up, but northern krill fishing animation is shorter and faster, plus easier on the ear if u ear fishing.
so that's all ive got currently, hope this is useful. im planning to do more things llike this, if u got any specific fishing holes u want to test out please say so or go ahead and do it and share it here. anybody with any experience with specific bait etc please share
also I will be doing the same experiment but with increased perception to compare and assess just how much difference increasing perception has on fishing results, I will post this here later.
thanx and happy fishing:cool:
