And then there was Bob.

The Bob is dead, long live the Bob. After several missed windows, I finally caught it! Took an entire month of trying to catch the window, and then 15 mooched sweetfish and 1 missed bite to finally reel it in on the last possible attempt I would have had before time ran out.

I can confirm that Rain>Rain, Showers>Showers, and Showers>Rain do NOT work, and that the actual weather pattern of Rain>Showers at 12am-8am only has about a 1% chance per eorzean day of happening, which equates to what my own experience confirms is about a 1 window per real time week to catch this fish, if you're lucky enough to be online at the exact moment and aware of it happening, of course.

*crushes Bob in his worn-out, calloused hands*

There never was a finer sand.

You sir are my hero. Now if only they would let you put it in your aquarium?

Roughly 1 chance per earthly week to catch sounds like it could be the worst fish in the game. I thought Heavensward fishing was relatively simple until the patch 3.4 fish. Thanks for the info though; I'm sure I'll keep missing these rare windows due to not bothering to check the weather often enough lol. I hope the next big fishing achievement they add has a nice reward attached, like how they gave out ironworks rod in the past and that was the best thing for a while before lucis rod was added. Just another title would suffice though to increase motivation to get serious about angling again.
