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

[LlenCoram]

update got my armorer at night 8:21 et. i had fished all day and nothing so i am convinced its night

Earlier in the thread Huckster reports having caught it during "daytime." I'm going to leave it as is, given that. Thank you though!

It's your choice but like I said I had fished all day under weather conditions and did not catch it. I researched on xivdb.com and there are 2 screenshots of it being caught at night. I then finally caught it at night also. I think that is plenty of proof it should be changed. anyways thanks for the guide i'm 2 fish away from finishing and this guide has helped a lot.

Took me a lot longer than I had planned, but I finally caught every big fish! Thanks for this thread, couldn't have gotten them all without it.

The last fish I need is Dark Knight. I have fished for it many times during daytime during the weather listed and have not even gotten a bite. I see a post on xivdb.com says he caught this at night. I am going to try to catch this at night under weather. i will update you when I catch it.

well right after I wrote this I caught it. et was 5:53pm so it was daytime but the weather under dust storm. anyway i am done! ty

my perception ... is at 261 and my gathering is at 302 with out food

Perception is more than enough however the gathering is very low, I haven't managed to get any HQ ss with GA at 302 for full 3 (IRL) days, needed to pipmp it by food and GC bonus over 310 to start catching HQs.

I caught mine at night also. It was around midnight ~ 1:00AM. I caught it rather quickly with 337 gathering (was using a stuffed artichoke)

I've since noted that it's probably easier to catch at night. I'd be happy to change it to a night catch only, but unless Huckster was mistaken in when he caught his, I can't do that.

Ah ok well according to this site (which pulls data from people's fishing logs - though I think it only works on JP clients as I couldn't get it to work using an English one) most people have caught it at night as you have mentioned. The day thing coulda been a rare fluke maybe? Here's the direct link to the fish. That site now has an English version and I found it very helpful to use for all the big fish catching. I hope the guy makes an English version of the log reader so those of us using English interface can contribute our fishing results.

Ah, neat! Thanks for the link .
