Let's Talk Fishing!

I wear the Guide Beret on Flion

And Turban on the mule.

Fishing goggles or bust.

Zee goggles.. zay do nothzing!

No way!

Use a moogle hat (greeeeeeeeeeen fuzzzy ball ftw) or gtfo >:O

I think we can all agree that Aurore head looks the best when fishing.

I don't wear a hat! +1 inv for me!

The correct hat to wear while fishing is a No 3 garland.




Snake Head ftw!

Aw yeah!

Guide Beret ftw.

92772 guild points total...talk about a tease T.T

If you're the uber superstitious type like me, you'll wear anything remotely relating to "sea" or "water" effects, in the irrational hope that they grant some sort of hidden fishing effect.

Head:
Risky Patch - since its "piratey" and comes from Zaldon and the "Inside The Belly" quest and fishing related MMM rewards.

Neck:
Sand Charm - since it is related to pirates and a sea related quest/storyline.

Of course, I'm probably the only one still carrying the 4 Leaf Mandy Bud, Lucky Egg, and Wild Rabbit Tail (even though SE has evasively denied any hidden effects related to these items).

The "logic" of the superstitious dictates that if you have nothing to lose, and even there's only a remote possibility that any such luck/or/bad luck can be incurred, why the hell not?

I'd would probably wear the Rain Hat for the same irrational reasons, but that requires time and energy, and luckily, my laziness traits exceed my superstitious traits. Although I am curious: since I understand SCH's will gain the regen effect the hat grants in rainy weather by casting weather effects on themselves. Many fishermen believe bite rates improve in rainy weather, making me wonder whether if I wore the hat as SCH and did just this, could my bite rates improve in a similar fashion?

*Note that the above is entirely far fetched speculation, without any evidence or data whatsoever. Just sea serpent rumors and old wives tales...

@Fenrir.Badaboom Don't forget your Millionaire Desk!

Also!


Is a must! I don't know about you, but everytime I fish I make sure to eat Prize Angler Stewpot.

Does anybody know the stats and effects yet on Prize Angler Stewpot?

More than likely just increased stats over its NQ.

Group Food Effects
HP +10%
MP +10
HP Recovered While Healing +5
MP Recovered While Healing +1

I was hoping the +1 may have a hidden Fishing Skill effect. I guess not....

FINALLY! A reason to get Stewpot Mastery key item! Thanks Upbeat! :-)

but unfortunately, would require too much of an expenditure of time and gil, conflicting with my personal "logic of the superstitious" philosophy ("if it doesn't cost anything, why the hell not?"). But I bet propagating a fishing superstition like that could snag you a nice increase on sales of your stewpots on your server. That wouldn't be your underlying intention, now would it?? ;-)

Nope, I carry them too

Ugh 473/10000 moat carp. I'm seriously considering just paying the damn 4 mil Lu's is going for...

I would, I regret dumping 6k moats and never finishing it and just buying the lu out of frustration, so half a lu wasted, lol

Good to hear from an actual fisherman. Then it is decided. I will get a crap ton of gil and purchase the most expensive single item I will ever buy. /sigh

lol, you should put a lil moat in every now and then to get a free 4 mil eventually >.>

Back when I was a 65 WHM, I stopped leveling so I could earn enough gil to buy a noble's tunic.

I finished fishing, and started to make gil. It was going good, earning quite a bit off of sole (AH price was crazy, like 40k a stack or something), but as I made gil the price kept rising. I refused to join a linkshell just to have them give me the body for being a member (a few of my friends back then were doing that, felt it was cheap). I wanted to earn that body.

I eventually bought it for 14,360,000 gil. It is to this day the most expensive item that I have purchased.

And I sold that body for 350k gil after I bought my aristocrats for 1.8 mil.

/endboringstory

That's insane. I just need someone sitting next to me when I'm about to buy something and hit me so I don't.

Yea, it definitely wasn't the smartest decision I've made, but I should of sold it when it was dropping below 3 mil, that was pretty dumb of me.

I just loved that body though, so silly of me to get so attached lol. I guess 3 mil isn't all that much now compared to back then.

For some people. Some other people have never even broken 1 mil lol. Workin' on it though. All for Lu Shang.

I meant compared to back then, not the general public lol.

If I tried crazy hard then I could make that... I'd rather have fun though and chill playing the game.

Yeah I gotcha

Yes, you get regen with rainstorm works if rainstorm is cast on you by another sch as well

Any of you quetz people looking to buy Ebisu fish?

Good way to find out is bazaar a few next to zaldon. I've sold more that way than the AH, and made arrangements with people that way as well.

I guess I'll stop lurking and post. ^^

The boyfriend and I were talking a lot about fishing today. I lent him my lu to skill up with while I camped AH like a madman for Gugrusaurus and Lik. Looking at all the different types of fish on the list, we got to wondering: What do some of these colorful and interesting fish taste like? Sure they go into our sushi dishes, tacos, kabobs,(and for you mithras out there, straight from the fishtanks).. but which ones do you think would be your favorite if you were to actually eat them for flavor instead of accuracy and other stats? :3
