I just hit 29 today, but I hear it gets much slower, so I guess we've still got quite a way to go.

If you think 1-30 is slow, wait til you try 30-110! Fishing is genuinely awful to level.

probably because you were only targeting one fish. the fish to bite rate on moat carp is crazy. so the skill ups werent actually any faster, you just most likely fished more fish faster.

Well.. reached the 200....

Hmm but in selbina, I got lots of Quus cap 19 would say 60% of everything I fished... but yea now I notice that bastore sardine cap @ 10.. lol.. and lets say the other 40% was it ...

Any recommendation of the setup I should use and where to go. to just target(or maximize the rate) fish that would give me skills? (got a Lu Shang's..)

If I remember....
It was trout or salmon in the rivers of Ronfraue > Cliffs outside either Windurst or Bastok, I forget the target fish, but remember getting lobsters outside of Bastok.

I've been at 101 for almost 4 weeks now, I fish 3-5 times a week for 30-120 minutes or so and I just hit 101.5 last night. Welcome to pain in the *** unless you bot skill ups. I'm well over 300 hakuryu's, Ryugu Titans, Gugru, Liks caught combined and only got .5 so far (and I've used about 60 charges on my skill up ring too since I got it 2 weeks ago).


Unless you have a Lu, stick with a Halcyon Rod until you get around 50-60 and go for larger fish. It has a pretty decent rod movement speed and will catch just about every small fish fairly quickly. 1 rod should last you all 50-60 levels as long as you don't catch arrowwood logs and large fish.

I would do Moat carps in W.Ronf at Knightswell, or go to Dragons Aery in the Fafnir pit to cap (11) (don't bother with Selbina), turn them in for gil if you need it, then nebonmites (27 - sell for gil as well), then go after Shall Shells until cap (52? - sell them again). At that point you'll want to invest in a Composite Rod or Lu for sure.

Yay! fun, lol I knew this was a pain, but wow.. lol.

Is there a reason you're acting like that? If you don't like the stuff they are asking or saying, then see your way out of the thread.

Uhh, the reason?

Back-patting and spoon-feeding irritate me.

You suggest "see my way out of the thread."

I suggest you Report me! Or perhaps you could Block me!

It's a forum people come to for information and help, not to be treated like crap by someone randomly. If you don't have help to offer, actual help not just being a smart ***, then why even come in here.

You give people an answer.

I point out the fact that they didn't go to a goddamn library.

I'll be the villain all day if you want to claim to be the hero.

The guy is just trying to have a discussion about something new to him. What is the big deal with him asking people for advice beyond wiki? If you don't like it then ignore the thread, not sure why you care so much.
Anyway yes you could move to nebs at your level, or if you feel like it you could even go straight to nashmau and fish Istiridye, both work well. But yeah fishing is just generally slow. Starting out seeing 2 levels in a day I would consider pretty good going. The higher you go the more dry spells you will see, though if you aren't planning on taking it past 30 that doesn't really matter for you.

Lye is taking a break from this thread. Here's a suggestion; If you aren't going to post something contributing to the thread and create a negative aspect of yourself, simply don't post. Else, we'll make it so you won't post again since the capacity to do such is missing.

I've caught ~600 Armored Pisces and still haven't seen a .1 skillup at skill 100(Yes I already did guild limit break). T_T

Fishing is slow skillups, but the tradeoff is there's not endless amounts of gil needed dumped into materials.

I always enjoyed fishing for the sake of fishing and at the time it was my only source of income. It is relaxing (aside from breaking Lu rods back to back), but if you are counting just for skill then yes be prepared... to take a while. Go buy an audio-book or the entire series of LOST to pass the time.
