Fishing, Cooking & Gil

[Amiabelle]

I enjoy fishing, too, Davy (in game, not in real life). And, like you, I'd like to see a few minor changes to the profession. Every fish should have a function. 100%. The functions could include:

• Culinary or alchemical recipes (done, but could have more)
• Leve or GC turn-ins (done)
• Convert into shards/crystals (needed)
• Convert into bait (done)
• Aquarium (if it ever gets implemented)
• Specifically identified as vendor-fodder (fish that don't fit in any of the other categories)

Additionally, it would be nice to fish up something besides fish. A FC member mentioned to me today that reeling in the occasional minion would be fun. How about using nets and pulling in low-level gear or jewelry every now and then?

There are two minions that can only be acquired from Fishing (tadpole and mini-adamantoise). I'd be interested in pulling in other things only if it's useful in some way (no rusty gear like in FFXI). Hopefully they do let fishing have something to do with the Housing system.

I'm just sad that there are 1-2 Star fish, but they don't seem to have any use... or at least no one is buying them off the market.

I'm actually looking for a list of fish that are useful and that I should hold on to. I've encountered a few so far but they seem to be the exception. I may just use the above list as a guide.

I found a list that supposedly showed which fish had uses and which were of absolutely no use whatsoever (vendor fodder). Using that list, I purged my bags of every fish that was on the "useless" list.

Dang.

Wouldn't you know it, the very next day, what shows up on my GC turn-ins list? And, in days following, more and more of my now-vendored, never-to-be-recovered fish showed up. Grrr.

I now try to cross-reference before dumping fish. /sigh

I've had that, too, but I can't hold onto everything just in case it pops up as a GC request. There's just not enough inventory room, even with retainers.
