Big Fish and you: What bait is needed when to land the big one

[Kat_Aya]

How do I get to 290+ or 301 gathering?
Mine is Gathering 272 and Perception 235

You need to meld some Materia into your fishing set.

i just did this whole new gear set two hours~ ago

the "need" means how much more you need to add
the red 1 and 2 means i used +3 materia since they don't have materia lower than 3, but when you meld it you'll only get 1 or 2 out of it for the stat

I know, I've meld a lot of stuff mostly perception +5 and that's the result.

does that hat have a slot/slots to meld?

Not meldable, but has slightly better stats (3 GP, 82 Perc, 4 Gath) than a fully melded HQ Hamlet Puller's Hat (4 GP, 75 Perc, 4 Gath).

Plus, it can be used on Miner and Botanist, as well, if you have those leveled.

i went to talan and he says he doesn't know me. i've done the last fishing quest. what unlocks the store?

I'd really like to know why RNG hates me so much. I've been fishing now for 6 hours, got another 7 HQs. Friend of mine shows up, fishes for a little under 40 minutes, gets 3 HQ sovereigns.

I'm really starting to wonder if the amount of fish I've caught puts some hidden flag on me or something -_-.
