Feast of Famine

What are the req. needed to actually hook a Nepto Dragon? My gather skill is over 600, perception is over 500, but still have a hard time hooking this thing. I know I need to catch 3 little thalos during rain or storm weather to trigger intuition, but is there anything else i'm missing? Fisher just seems like a slap to the face of the players that took the time to level it, the RNG is unforgiving since it seems that skill is useless.

I don't know the actual requirements but you should be good, considering people did it with less back in ARR. I'm currently trying for it as well. Unfortunately, the requirements only guarantee that you can hook it, not catch it. Keep trying, eventually you will get it as I hope to soon.

Wow... If you can't with those stats... I'll find this impossible (I have a little more of 400 in both, and still have to fish the other 5 legends before Nepto...)

helps if you use patience/patience II

Your catch rates are hard capped even if you are way over stat which you are. Which is why this achievement is still semi rare. Personally caught this one first of the quest set, helicorpon took 12 windows, and if you've gone through them in order you know how rare those are.

Pack some cordials, get a decent gp food and you will get it eventually.

Start with Patience I and when you get a hook, use Powerful Hookset to get an hq Thalaos. Make sure that your gp will be sufficient from now on to spam Powerful Hookset for both the Thalaos and for a chance on Nepto, otherwise stand up, pop a cordial and repeat.
You will need to wait for the cordial cooldown to be able to use another set of Patience so you will need to rely on your gp regeneration at this point.

Hint: Try to memorize the thalaos bite (small-medium-large) so you can avoid hooking useless fish.

Good luck if you haven't got it until now!

I did eventually land this sucker. Never gonna do it again on any other characters I make lol. I'm wondering if the information I looked up was a little off, it said the Nepto can ONLY be caught after landing 3 little thalos during rain weather, but I actually landed it just as the weather shifted from rain storms into clear skies.
