List of Usefull Fish

[XLauncher]

This seems like a good thread to ask rather than make a new one: what's the equivalent of ephemeral nodes for fishing? Ephemeral nodes make getting Fire, Earth, Lightning and Wind crystals hilariously easy and I assume fishing has something for Ice and Water, but I haven't started to level it for HW yet.

Pretty much all fish desynths provide Water crystals, and many provide a secondary crystal as well. Most Western Coerthan fish provide Ice crystals for their secondary. While I haven't done much Hellfishing yet, I'm guessing most of those fish will provide Fire crystals as their secondary (or maybe even primary?).

Thank you for this list x10.

These are not equivalent to Aetherial Reduction, though.

Answering XLauncher, the only one I found so far was the Manasail, Churning Mists, 10am-2pm, yields Water.

Thanks so much! Now I do not need to keep all the fish!

Edit:
Also a GC turn ins:
Cometoise (Anyx Old)
Winged Gurnard (The Blue Window)

I've only caught 8/8 HQ Pteranodon for Reduction but they yield usually ~40-50 Ice Crystals and ~40-50 Ice Clusters unless you get aethersand from it instead

I'm super confused how one even begins to know where to start fishing at Lv.50. I grab the first two leves in Ishgard but they don't even tell you were the fishing spots are unlike the BTN and MIN leves. Does SE expect this to just be some sort of crowd sourced community effort like threads such as these?

[Erendis]

I just grabbed the highest food I could use for freshwater and cloudfishing and went to Coerthas Western Highlands. For fisher you do not really need leves, it levels very fast as it is.

Great list thx! Can you please add the zones to the list as well? Also perhaps note which fish belong to which Folklore Log?

Eg.
