FISHER yellow scrips

What's the faster way to get yellow scrips for FSH?

I'd treat FSH scrips as a bit of a bonus, personally.

The only ones that are really worth going for are the legendary fish worth 100+ scrips each. They all require specific weather and are usually only around for four hours of the day on top of that, but they're fairly common when they are around and I think anyone who's into farming yellow scrips should definitely go after them.

The Ala Mhigan Ribbon and most of the Spearfishing ones are 24hr a day, no weather requirement, fish.

ThousandFang is probably the best Spearfish for Yellow Scrips since you can Veteran Trade sea lamps and only catch batfish to spawn the shadows. The other Yellow Scrip Spearfish usually have another fish you have to compete with for the shadow spawning fish so they take longer and can sometimes be annoying. Ala Mhigan Ribbon isn't terrible, just remember to use Precision Hookset under Patience, and try to fish for them when the weather isn't clear or fair since then you're competing with another fish during that weather.

You can also Veteran Trade the Mitsuriku Shark away and *only* have a chance at catching the Thousandfang from the Swimming Shadows.

Well, other than the small chance at the Tiny Tatsunoko minion.

Legendary fish are eating all my yellow scrips in bait. It's not fun to go to a fishing hole with 150 scrips worth of bait and use them all up, only to walk away with only a few few scrips that'll mostly be used up replacing all the Stonefly Larva

Currently farming "The One River (west)" & "The Sunken Junk"for my yellow scrips. It isn't great, but it's all i got for now. When the Seraphim window is open i take 2 kinds of bait- Stonefly Larva: Patience II with precision and Suspending Minnow: When Patience II is down. This requires a lot of cordials to keep your gp as high as it can. When the Seraphim window is closed i take my large gig to the Sunken Junk and focus farming Ichthyosaurs until the swimming shadows node opens. Use my normal gig to collect Fangshi and Cherubfish. Since they are right next to each other, Only leave to repair or get more bait. Don't use Stonefly larva without patience II, not worth.

Caught 3 back to back lol (sulk)..

Unless fishing is your only DoL...you are doing it wrong when it comes to (any) kind of scrip farming, lol. In all seriousness though - the Thousandfang mentioned above already from spearfishing is probably your least annoying option that I know of thus far.

The only issue is how abysmal the Yellow Script payout is for them. ;-;

However, I agree, FSH is way too much RNG to rely on for Scripts.

If you can use BTN or MNR DO IT!

One of the Swimming Shadows nodes has a hefty gathering fortune up rate on it.

That was from about 40 minutes of spearfishing.

Highlighted the keyword...that is the only fishing worth doing for collectibles. Although - I was actually surprised at how not horrible fishing the legendary fish for aethersand was...shocked, to be honest.

Which legendary fish have you been able to catch? I've started a thread about this, but I'm under the impression that several of the folklore fish are impossible to catch, possibly due to a gathering cap that is too high. I've maxed out my gathering stat for fisher (which with fully melded gear has me at 1016, 1073 with HQ Nomad's Meat Pie) and yet I still keep getting misses consistently.

The thread I started is here:
