Titanic Sawfish

[Adler]

I tried to catch it having HQ fisher gear with no melds months ago. After about an hour of no luck decided that maybe I should gear up a bit and returned to my sawfish hunt month later having about 300 gathering and 260 perception - 4th or 5th lugworm started mooch chain that resulted in titanic sawfish. Brought it in for quest reward and went for navigator's brand - after 1 hour I had the "The Ambitious Angler" title.

Now I just am mad at myself for using Silver Sovereigns to get hat (though I do understand that without it I couldn't get Forager miner and botanic tools as fast as I did) because they don't drop for me anymore. Have spent a lot more time trying to get 20 hq Sovereigns than it took to get sawfish.

I put together a YouTube Video for tips on catching this blasted fish. I retread a lot of the stuff that everyone already knows but tossed in a few of my own suggestions.

Nice vid, I dont want to encourage you, but there are way more diabolic fish outside, which deserve the sephiroth theme more than titanic sawfish ;D

very good starting guide for everyone who is crazy enough to try to master the real endgame

Share your hate for this fish.

Having robbed me of a week of my life with still no catch, I could go for hearing some other peoples' horror stories about the troll of the seas.

Seriously, 40+ HQ wahoo double mooches and always. Gear is melded nearly to max and I know to stick to 10am-4pm on sunny or fair days. Shark every time...

Its called throw a bomb into whatever body of water ur fishing that fish!

Where do we fish up this Sawfish? I've never fished in this area before. Also one thing i noticed is there is alot of unused bait in this game. Is there a detailed list of what each bait catches. Which bait is best for the Sawfish?

Kida has made an amazing fishing database:

Almost every rare/legendary has its best fishing method and zone/area posted with it.

And the area where Titanic Sawfish can be caught is Cape Westwind.

@Riko_Futatabi:
I'm surprised you managed to keep count @_@

Thx for this!

About bait; since you can't see the gathering or HQ rate for fishing it's hard to even say which bait is best for what in every situation. However I've noticed outside of the obvious bait descriptions for ocean/freshwater/river etc. that at least some fish prefer live bait over lures. I did only notice this when mooching Silverfish, that they prefer Honey Worms.

I was using Pill Bugs at the time when I caught Titanic Sawfish, but I cycled through a lot of different low level bait up until the catch. I don't even know if what I generally do is the best option in that I try to use the bait(s) which item level is closest to that of the fish I'm trying to catch.
