Ruby Dragon not biting

[LegendWait]

Question: What site do you use that can see weather cycles day's in advance?

Here is the site I use when trying to fish up the warden (4 so far yay). But it does not extend out more then 2 1/2 days.

Ok, since I haven't seen it in this thread I have to ask.

What *exactly* is your process for catching Kuer's and Ruby's.
When do you show up?
What do you surface slap?
Do you all the non !!! bites go?
When and what time do you cast out with your Ku'er to start mooching?
etc etc


Ruby's a pain, I get that, it's frustrating (I definitely get that), but as someone who's been watching this thread from a distance, what's your method? Can I offer some tips on maybe even further optimizing your chances?

Exactly what's been described in this video

I know I got the right method, don't worry about that

Ok, so you're not reeling in anything that isn't a !!!. You're slapping something. It doesn't actually have to be Coeurl Eel Snake, contrary to what I say in the guide. It's the one everyone defaults to in general due to it having a similar bite time as Ku'er. I will usually use Glass tuna or whatever I catch first. (I'm making an ammendment to the guide now to include this)
After you get your first Ku'er and get your first loop, are you still waiting to slap a Coeurl Eel Snake? or just slapping the first thing you after the loop breaks?

Lol. Didn't even realized you were the author of the video.

Im just slapping whatever but I usually find that Coeurl have a higher rate then the rest.

And yea not wasting any gp

Hi! it me.

Unfortunately, you're just unlucky. You're not alone out there in having Ruby elude you for this long. It's a rough fish and you'll get it soon.

I guess the only other tips I would suggest that I didn't cover in my guide would be:

• If you can, hi-cordials to replenish your GP are clutch and easy to get. You can maintain Patience II constantly with them.
• If you have the GP to be able to, it can be ok to refresh Patience II when it's getting low you have more of a chance to keep up a full duration Mooch loop.
• Use Chum if you're GP's maxed, just to save yourself a few seconds.
• I also recommend finding folks to fish with, the sting of not getting a fish can be lessened when you're surrounded by others who... haven't gotten it either. If you're not part of the Fisher's Horizon discord, I would recommend checking them out. Can commiserate together with other fisher's in a similar spot as you.

Best of luck and may the fishing gods bless your rod.

Failed again.

Four Kuers mooched in total, what a joke.

Next window is tonight at 11:21 pm

[LegendWait]

And failed again.

5 Kuers in 12 minutes and they all missed on their first mooch.

Next window is in 2 hours, cant make it because I love my sleep more then I hate this fish.

Next window after that is Wednesday at 10:51 AM est.

Really wish they fix this fish in 5.58. Can't believe all the time I wasted on this.
