Shark Mount

[Zohar_Lahar]

That's some very loose definition of "shark."

Fun fact: it is apparently related to the tornado sharks caught by Ok'Zundu.

I stopped using Patience altogether.

Seems to be the real solution. Double Hook and its multiple fishes grants more points than HQ fish. People hook up to 90 fish that way. Can have three double hooks per special current window. You might get the 10% for 35 fish during special current on top of the one for 15. And your team has to focus to get the rare big fish of the zone for the extra completion 10%.
That is the only reason we need to switch baits tbh to catch all 10 different fish of an area.

It would be nice if spectral currents weren't so vague or the fish to trigger them weren't so random. The first time I went I saw all 3 spectral currents, but I only ended with about ~6000 points because I hadn't done it before and I was rusty with fishing. Ever since then I'd be lucky to see it once, and I always end up in the top 3-4 players on the ship and I'm not sure what else I can do to make it go better.

It really doesn't help that the last time I went the party leader gave up halfway through the last spot. We weren't doing well anyway, but they just fully left and screwed the rest of us. There should definitely be a lockout if you join a voyage and then leave early to try to get in to another one. Maybe it would stop people from jumping ship because they're not getting what they want.

Yes it would be nice if less RNG is involved because its really demotivating to finally get a spectral fish and to not start a rainbow at all. Especially if you already had one and only needed another to finally get the mount..The problem with the lockout is, that people could then simply go afk on board and the result is the same.

I also dont know why they stopp us from fishing around the 0.30 mark..why not let it go down to 0 and after that start a one minute time where people either can relax, talk, repair or buy more bait..

There are even fish where you need more than 30s for them to bite or you can only reel in when its at 0s or not at all, but then you already start loading into another zone, it feels like it needs to be increased.

If you have fishing results from players enabled in chatlog, you actually see a lot of captured spectral fishes, I would say sometimes people catch around 30 or more of them and it doesn't trigger. Would be nice to have a max value that triggers it besides the certain % chance.

Nice, thanks everyone for the tips, been trying to get this mount for at least a day now.

Been trying to just get on the fricking boat since it opened....

Yeah maybe just having a new one minute timer afterwards would help so even if you start at 0.1 seconds you can still catch it and everyone else can use that time to repair, sell or talk. Just a bit of relaxing time before the next phase beginns.

True and we had someone in our group that captures like three spectral fishes in HQ and got no phase. It really would be great to know the percentage that such a catch brings. Or maybe its not about a percentage, maybe you need x amount of spectral fish.

Also I finally got my mount. Two spectrals and a few HQ fishes got me around 6k, but even with the big bonus, I barely managed it. Finally I am free of this for a while (until I want to catch them all).

Been trying to just get on the fricking boat since it opened....

Is there any problem with that? Went in it minutes after the first one started and it took a bit but even then we thankfully got a full boat.

[xaventh]

Just hit 11k. Went in at level 69 with level 60 gear, 665 gp. Didnt use patience at all. Saved gp for 2x double hook guaranteed. With patience strategy I needed lucky timing to get 2x off.

I can't even handle the basics of getting onto a ship. The game text tells me to talk to the fisher guild lady. I do, she says the voyage is already full - but there's a message to check back in a few minutes. With a Raubahn's Wall level crowd gathered around, it's easy to see the next 24 spaces will fill is milliseconds, so I say 'screw this' & leave.

Then guildmates tell me you don't have to speak at all to anyone to go? Huh?
