Thread: Big Fish and You - Patch 2.3

This new batch of big fish pretty much requires you to have the i70/75 rod and max melded gear. And food.

I edited my post, I finally caught it at 353 gathering.

I "finally" caught Meteor Survivor in the Salt Strand, Lower La Noscea, at 3:43 am in Overcast weather using Rat Tails, Gathering Rate 373. This all falls within the current posted guidelines. Just posting this to confirm that the current posted guidelines are so far accurate. With a Desynthesis Skill of 86.79, I had a 62.00% chance of success, which I predictably failed.

Helmsman's Hand of North Umbral Isles is above 353 gathering to catch, I got a too low gathering msg.

Shark Tuna caught at 353, fair weather at 8h30 pm.
Desynth failed at 86.66 at 62% :C

Friend told me a theory that the higher the perception, the bigger the fish is and, the bigger it is, the more chance it runs away.
Not sure if there's any truth in this, could just be rng after all.
