Thread: Big Fish and You - Patch 2.4 (speculation (or is it? :))

what fish are required for each stage of the feast of famine quest?? I see that some are complete and have the rod already congrats!! and some are very close but i still have not seen any confirmed information on which fish are required for each part of the new fishing quest. I, as well as I am sure others would appreciate any info on what fish are required for each new stages of the new quests. It would give us some small accomplishment to finish this while we strive for the 106/106 and rod

thanks in advance for sharing and al lthe info everyone has shared upto date on the new big fish.

You don't need to catch any of the 400+ gathering "living legends" required for Feast of Famine to get the i80 rod and 106/106 achievement. There are 112 big fish, so the six needed for Feast of Famine conveniently are not required for Go Big or Go Home X. I'm fairly certain they did this intentionally - you get the 106 other big fish, get the new rod that gives you enough gathering to get the last 6, then complete Feast of Famine.

Pretty sure at this point Feast of Famine works like this:

Catch Namitaro at Urth's Gift, Endoceras at Isle of Umbra South Shore, and Helicoprion at Sagolii Desert for the Black Shroud/La Noscea/Thanalan part of the quest. Then catch Kuno the Killer at North Shards, and Shinosaurus at Witchdrop for the Coerthas/Mor Dhona part. Then catch Nepto Dragon for the final part.

35 mooches during clear -> fog and still no wootz knifefish bite

i start to believe that its bound to time (~1-3am et) + fog instead of clear + fog >_>

when do you caught yours uknow?

i wonder if he meant/caught shonisaurus (or whatever its called)

He has changed this to say The Weeping Saint now.

Shonisaurus is the only fish I can think of in Witchdrop that would require a buff to catch. I see it's still unlisted as to where in the OP post but it should be pretty obvious to be in Witchdrop just no info on how. As ServerCollaps said in a previous post it's most like catching a certain number of Rhamphorhynchus which means it's going to be a nightmare. Or it's catch a certain amount of Mahar's which is less of an RNG nightmare in terms of fishing as you just need to wait for weather RNG instead (Fair/Clear->Blizzard).
No idea on if it needs mooch or a different bait but best bet is always to gamble on Cloud Cutter mooch I guess, especially as it just looks like a spiced up Rhamphorhynchus/Mahar.

Updated OPs with weather icons.

oh, lol

was able to catch a void bass at 4pm clear -> gloom

Seahag is not a weather change. Its clear/fair at around 7pm-12pm. Caught mine with wind>fair
