red scrip fishing

is there any guides to locations and times aswell as stats for when caught the red scrip collectibles please?? ive googled looking for info but its seriously lacking lol

Thunderbolt eel are the best and seem to come up pretty often for the turn in. 10pm ET - 3am ET Iron Feast in forelands. You can either mooch them from shrimp or catch them straight from bladed steel jigs, I personally use the jigs.


My current stats are 656g and 645p This is with HQs and overmelding

You must be talking about your stats on another gatherer because those stats are impossible as FSH.

I only collect red/blue scripts with fishing because that's the only gathering I have at 60 ... I make great life choices.

yeah was gonna say. I'm pentemelded and my numbers are only 579/463.

yeah that was my bad. it was my my btn/mnr set. its 550/435, thought i had switched to fsh when i posted didnt even bother to see that it was way off. But it's still melded gear, and you don't HAVE to be super high to get eels. they're 0 star

As usual its all RNG. I can go 2-3 fishing periods and get no Eels... but then i'll get 4-5 in a row!!

I have tried using mooch and the jig. One method is no more better than the other. You do burn less GP with the jig if you're using Patience + Powerful but you almost guarantee you'll get a Eel if you do choose to use the mooch method. The only problem is you will get less ( have to wait for GP ) and sometimes the fish will get away anyway.

PotatoGirl is right. The Eel is your best option. The other fish ( I have yet to see anything besides the Eel and Loosetongue? ) is a rarer, weather dependent big fish.... in other words not worth your time.

Just don't give up guys.

Tip with the tiny axotols (or however you spell it), buy brute leeches with blue scrips to fish these up, they give you a 50%+ catch rate. Combined with use of patience and cordials, i get 6+ of these fish at high enough collectability rating to turn into red scrips per 3 hour fishing window. (Pappus tree, Aszy Lla, 9pm-midnight) in game time.

My personal best was 105 red scrips in 1 window of Thunderbolt Eels (9 catches large enough) between 10pm and 3.30am. Stonefly Nymphs to mooch off Blueclaw Shrimps, using Patience, and then Precision Hookset on the shrimp, then Powerful Hookset on the eel. And of course, as many cordials as you can get off.

That was best case scenario. Usually, I catch around 6 per window, averaging out around some 70 red scrips.

im guessing using blue scrip set doesnt cut it in regards to red scrip farming?? i get so many fish gets away messages during time windows ._.

I wear the blue scrip gear and catching the red scrip fish has been really hit or miss for me. I doubt that I'll be capping this week. I barely have 100 red scrips and will be raiding with my FC tonight and tomorrow. /cry

well really not much harder stat restriction on hw stuff, just most rng, so far i have not get any not enough gathering. And fish goes away will happens allways no matter of stats.

So blue script set & nq l60 weapon (same stats than halcon supra). The main trouble will be jewerly for good gp and spend less on cordials and maybe some push on gath/perc

meh took the plunge n spent about 2m on crafted gear since ill give to retainer at some point.. theres a real noticable difference between blue scrip gear n the crafted stuff.. with scrip gear i was gettin mayb 1-2 collectibles with the gear i brought i got 7 in that time window unmelded ._.

Yeah i have been using all HQ crafted gear as well, all melded with tier 4 GP materia. Being able to get one more precision hookset off in a fishing window for red scrips really does add up over time :).

imo scrip gear should be meldable but perhaps just a lower cap than crafted gear cause theres a big difference in scrip farming between the 2 :(
