You have to like fishing to fish here. Its skippable though.

Red scrips are a L 50+ thing. So its a not to worry about right now thing. Its also correct that fishing takes longer to acquire scrips than MIN or BOT. But if you like fishing it isn't boring.

Squadrons are an easy way to get scrips. Each GC has a version of this quest: https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/S...mmortal_Flames)

Its a bit in the future for you too and it takes a while to tune them for scrips.
