Yeah I'm finding that getting scrip on FSH is extremely painful. I've fished for almost every yellow scrip fish and the ones that require yellow scrip bait take more scrip to catch then you get as a reward, 100% of the time. (just spent 15 minutes fishing for Deemster, caught a total of 1) and that's pretty common for me, and obviously didn't even cover the cost of the bait to catch it.

As far as spear fishing for yellow scrip, I have to spawn 3-4 shadow nodes just to catch one fish that is high enough collectability to turn in. That's a huge time investment for barely any return.

I have 843 gath and 677 perc.

Square broke FSH with stormblood... it's a worthless class unless you're raiding omega savage and you need a food that requires fish or you need the FSH aethersand... so still basically worthless at the moment.
