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

[Artamie]

Yeah... there's something fishy about this one. I finally got it last night during foggy weather but I was confused for the longest time about it since the disciples of the land database listed it as only appearing in sandstorm. So yeah, it's both weathers. Best of luck to you though TomTom, hang in there.

^^ I will, I will. Am 1 fish away from the "catch 16 big fish" ingame achievement and over time, the rest will be cleared as well. Last week I finally got my 70 fishing rod and have started to catch the big ones since this. I had all the normal fish before anyways, now I want them all. The only thing I don't like about capital fish is that they are 0 help to get my other ingame achievements "fish 500 on locations Level x - y) since they are ALL very low in level.

And Yeah, if I catch one in a condition that's not already mentioned in this thread, I will post about it.

How do I get my Gathering up to 300? I've got all green gear on the right and miscellaneous pieces on the left. High grade materia won't boost it that high, help please.....it's all lvl 50 green too

[TomTom1968]

I had over 300 already before I got my Item Level 70 accessoires. Maybe you do not have enough melds per item?

Please give Eorzea time in the future. LT (Local Time) and ST (Server Time) are near useless for fishing purposes.

Hi

Just wanna congratulate on the summarize OP made here. Don't know if you remember me, but I still remember you.

Anyhoo... just recently capped my fisher, about 3 days ago. Finished the big fish quest 1 day later. Currently farming silver sovereign HQ for i70 rod, sitting at 11/20 atm. The "suspicious fish" warning kinda get annoying though, even had to run to other fishing spot to trick-reset. :3

Got a question though: Do any of you keep your big fishes, or NPC it? Seems from market study that ppl rarely buy these since these are currently for achievement purpose only. That, and my current space arrangement (including retainers) won't be enough to keep all of them. ^^;

Of course I remember you . I don't know about others, but I tend to hoard every fish I catch. Yay extra retainers I guess.

I've been hanging on to all of my single- and double-star fish, anticipating the possibility that SE might make them useful someday. And, apparently, when SE adds Desynthesis to the game, some fish will be desynthable, so that day may come sooner than later. It's up to you, though, whether it's worthwhile to spend the inventory slots for such a purpose. If you do decide to sell them, you might want to check out the auction house, especially just before and after the 2.3 patch arrives - there will likely be a rush on desynthable fish, in the hopes of figuring out which ones will provide useful and/or rare ingredients when you desynth them.
