    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?

    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.

    Yep I'm doing all thats just bad luck, or the game is rigged against me which is what I was hoping to determine with the other posted thread.

    Seemed like everyone who complained on The Ruby Dragon managed to catch it one month later, so I thought I would try that. XD

    Complaining is the best bait, as it has been proven.

    And yea, some folks get it first try, others within a week and some it's even taken a year+. You're not an outlier yet, just keep at it!
