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

[dragonflie]

Caught Wootz Knifefish Zenith with 383 gathering. Darkstar is also catchable at 383 (haven't caught yet, but no 'Not enough gathering' msg).

For anyone else upset that Lucis is so superior to Ironworks:

I think I put it in the right section? Thanks!

Just caught Seahag at 10:15pm Eorzea Time during Clear weather. The previous weather in this zone was Gales.

Double clear/fair is not required.

Is Shonisaurus weather- or rather, Mahar to be exact- ever up? I've been big fishing for the last three weeks and never saw clear to blizzard in Coerthas. Ever.

Shoni and Endo (got away 6 times qq) are the only ones left on my dragons deep quest

I have seen the Shoni weather an entire 2 times over the past 5-6 days whilst i have been on. It seems to be one of the rarest weather transitions around (blood red boneytounges perhaps being the rarest). Good luck with getting it .

Is the Clear/Fair -> Fog requirement still true? Or has anyone caught it without the weather change requirement.

I recently caught one with that weather transition, and at 2am. Cat became hungry has this fish down as only being able to be caught between 1 and 4 am, and its the only time i have had any luck getting them. Have tried with this exact weather transition at other time periods with no luck, however this may be confirmational bias from my part .

[THETRUESELF]

So, uh. I was working to catch all the big fishes and I happened to caught 3 Catfishes after 40 Minutes. I got the buff. I was happy and then... I dc'd. I log in back. Buff was gone. I hate my life. ((After this I continued 30 minutes and didn't hook a single Catfish.)) This game is seriously telling me to gtfo. )x

Well, my main reason question now:
I have forager clothes (minus the shoes. Can get those as well though), the new bufffood and supra. Something I certainly can't have is the FC buff. Is there anyway I can avoid using it? It kinda sucks that you have to depend on it. Does the itemlvl 90 rod gives you enough gathering to skip the fc buff and still have enough gathering for the legandarys?

[LineageRazor]

The Lucis rod gives 20 Gathering over the Supra, and 14 Perception over the Supra. FC buffs give only +10 to their respective skill. If you get the Lucis rod, it will eliminate any need for FC buffs for any current fish, presuming you're eating the right food and have your other equipment up to date.

It's very rare indeed. Have seen maybe 3 in the past 2 weeks. But finally got another one last night and I managed to get my Shoni and Of Dragon's Deep title (yay). Coincidentally, the even more rare Bonytongue weather condition in MD happened a mere 5 hours ET later and I finally caught it! Twas a good day of fishing, yesterday
