I'm at 5/6...only shonisaurus left, but can't attempt it until I get the i80 rod, because my FC already put the gathering buff for me twice and I don't want to bug them more (was lucky enough to get one Nepto during that time but not shoni). I'm at 78/112 right now so it shouldn't take "too long" to get the rod...with the supra and no fc buff I simply don't meet the requirements for stupid shoni...

Am I the only one who is afraid one of the new fish will require mooching off of a big fish? Or maybe a quad mooch? Or maybe one hour catch windows? ._.

I'm pretty sure at least one's going to do so, but we'll be talking "highest level" fish.

I'm more concerned with what new gear we're going to have to be shelling out for. If i90 accessories come out I can only imagine them being hella expensive, and then nevermind needing to buy new G4 materia for each of their initial slots. And all that for just a total of +5 Gathering/Perception over our current limit.

Either way we should be able to see immediately at least where the new fish appear in our log, right? I wouldn't be surprised if there's more than just 13.

It's already been confirmed that the last fish you need to get 100/100 will require it to be snowing in Southern Thanalan with a dust storm in Coerthas. It will be a two hour window, but whenever you are fishing, that's not the window.
