    There is a few money making fish, but don't expect them to sell 1 million gil per fish! Leve fish, Titanic Sawfish, the crafted item for relic has two that requires fish, and Emperor Fish comes to mind for the moment that you can sell for decent profit. (Time to get those is a different thing!) There's a few titles "Master Caster" and "of Dragon's Deep" that comes with an achievement and a quest completion. The first one comes with Ironworks Fishing Rod.

    If you stand on a spot for the highest possible fish you can fish up instead of running after leves, you'll most likely get fisher to 50 in no time at all because exp per fish is pretty insane. Especially if you catch HQ. And remember to eat food, that +3% bonus exp will give you a lot in the long run and the grand company exp boost for gathering. If you need to visit down, you could turn in the Provision mission daily.

    If you are going to get into end game fishing level Culanrian desynth. It is important as it maximizes profits from fishing. Look up Assassin Fry on the market board. They come from desynthing Ninja Betas. It also lets you turn low value fish into shards or crystals.

    To speed up the leveling process, levequests and GC provisioning quests. In general meld your gear so you can catch higher level fish more reliably.

    This website is really valuable: http://ffxivfisher.appspot.com/?

    As to rewards? Fishing is its own reward. /smile

    Leveling Fisher is quite easy, just follow the guides. They have been able to target the fishing spots that have best EXP per min/hour spent at that level, so you're always getting the best XP possible.

    Can't speak for your other questions. Post 50 Fisher I'm not too experienced.

    i am at the post 50, and i have no idea where to start as a big fisher!!!!

    my gear is bis and fully max penta melded. except the rod. i have Supra Rod. working on Lucis.

    i attempted some of the big fishes but wasnt lucky for the past 2 days. there are too many and i dont know where to start really

    any general advise could help. (skywatcher website is my friend. but too many pages i need to open to plan fishing 1 big fish. bait/area/weather.... its annoying. the website need some work interms of having all data in 1 page or time table.).

    im basically overwhelmed

    im hitting a similar wall with Cul desynth. at lvl66, cant find fish with decent level gain to desynth. either i gain nothing from low level fish while rare fish having low desynth success rate below 20%.

    OP: Low level fish that sell well for good gil include White Coral, Razor Clams, Hammerhead Sharks, and Rothlyt Oysters. There are others.

    Empty; This site will give you the availability of all the big fish:

    http://ffxivfisher.appspot.com/?

    But cross check with this one for bait to isolate fish for mooching and weather conditions:

    As to CUL desynthsis, you probably need to work on one star fish. Pirarucu, from Proud Creek is the easiest one star fish with an 18.8% bite rate on streamers. You can also try NQ silver sovereigns.
