Titanic Sawfish

[Kyan]

Feeling inspired - purchased 4 stacks of pill bugs. Waited for weather... and BAM! FIRST. BLOODY. CAST. XD

Weeks of camping, weeks of fishing, and ah, I feel so elated. I sent it to a friend who knew my plight via Moogle Mail. So satisfying!

This one... it haunts me...

[Mayh]

Just kill me now. =__=;

I've been at this spot for 2 days.. and I'm starting to get superstitious over here.

Got to have Wolf Pup out.. he's lucky. Yeah. Ok, maybe I should change up my bait every 5 casts. No, every 3.. Stand here. nope... move every.. 2 hours. I think I'm not catching it because my hat is red maybe I'll dye it yellow..... 0.o

You need to use the Bluebird minion, in the description it says it brings good fortune!

This fish is the Atma drop of gathering classes.

Exactly..it is a nice change from doing fates without getting ATMA to fishing and never getting the fish you want. Oh wait, no it is not a nice change lol.

If it would be ATMA style it would be OK (thought I would never said something like this lol) but this RNG fish is even worse. I did not need 500 fates for an Atma. It took 3-100 which is already too much in my book but this fish? I use floating minnow now but burned over 500 of the per quest recommended baits already. And still nothing for a side quest? I did Hildibrand, all side quests including Vanity and crafting, story quests and the beginning quests for the tribes in much lesser time than this one. If there are fishers out there who find it challenging to go for the double mooches, they can have fun with it. But if you make a side quest, please raise the drop chance for the quest fish. It doesn't need to be handed out directly but it should be limited somehow. Like improving drop chance after each unsuccessful attempt.

I have already stopped doing it seriously. I fish as much fish and HQ as I need for the Agenda and will wait till I can get ahold of the new items and then I maybe try again. Or just buy it after 2.3 when nobody cares anymore and it's cheap.

Price for most annoying side quest in the entire Game -> we have a winner here.

Although I agree with your discontent with the Atma fates, fishing is a class of patience. It's not rewarding if all you see the quest as is a waste of time. The reward comes from the time you put in by the time you catch the fish. Seriously, if you think Titanic Sawfish is bad, I wouldn't recommend the rest of Big Fishing (most of which haven't even been figured out yet). You may be better off just taking your time on Big Fish until everyone has everything figured out 100%.

LOL - Titanic Sawfish is nothing comparing to FFXI Ebisu Fishing Rod quest. http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/Indomitable_Spirit - Titanic Sawfish comparing to that is a walk in a park
