Fishing Thoughts/GuideFollow

I know, I was saying that if Yoshi was referring to the NPC price of fish only, then I still think fishing could have an affect on the market. I can't imagine that there won't be Food dishes with fish in them, and this Alchemy recipe you found.

So do you still need rat tails to go from warrior to knight in this game?

Really hope they see the error of their ways, this is a gathering class why wouldn't it have any kind of effect on the economy. We're talking cooking recipes that involve fish, alchemy for fish oils into potions and whatever else in alch. Hell I don't even see why fish couldn't be used for rare weapon/armor/jewelry crafting or maybe something as trivial as a vanity hat or something equally silly requiring HQ fish to make it from.

I mean I can kind of understand if it has no monetary value or use as a crafting component then it deters fishing bots, which to me just sounds like a lazy excuse for not doing their job. Because I've heard reports already in beta phases of people seeing teleporting mining bots which would have a hell of a lot more effect on an economy then fishing ever would.

Hope they change their minds and patch recipes soon until then i'll level it regardless see yall in game ~silvyrmist, balmung server

Awesome leveling guide. I was pretty confused when I tried fishing in phase 4 and everywhere I went it said I was using the wrong lure for where I was at. Thanks a lot for this!

I paid way too much attention to this. It deals with the size of the fish for sound and you actually can see the difference in effort your character puts into reeling in. I was really quite impressed by that level of detail. The HQ quality may actually be shown through the movements of the rod but I can't be for sure on that.

You made an excellent point there. I changed it to the appropriate term in my guide. Thanks for the heads up! ^^

Hey, any chance we can move this over to the fishing section? I keep losing it in general and this is an awesome thread to refer back to.

Wanted to point out, please edit the OP to reflect the tooltip update for Rat Tails. They are Ocean Fishing only now.

Mooch. It will fill in a lot of those missing fishing log map lists. I am working on the 11-20 acheivement zones and man it is daunting.Got Nos done, now I gotta get Thal and Shroud. I am crying on the inside at the next tier with 1k fish per area. I am not talking about the tier after that... that is just a void I don't want to think about.

Well the achievement log has the first tier of lvl 0-10 which you need 40 fish, then second is 11-20 needing 300 fish out of there, etc. I still haven't figured out the correct interpretation, however... you can fish in higher level fishing holes with lower level baits/lures (not too low obviously) and catch the lowest level fish out of it for very good xp. I need to sit down and actually write down the lvl of the waters I was fishing in along with the baits, but I know I was fishing in the level 30's part of the Shroud after you run up the big treetrunk. I was using midge baskets which are lvl 15 and I was catching Ala Mhigan which I think are 20 or 25 now.

I haven't noticed a 1/99 mark in my log. I'll check if I ever HQ a login.

Huh that's weird. I haven't fished since Phase 4, trying to get to 30 and unlock WHM first, but I might have to do a bit tonight.

Remember those areas for later, I think they're just well above your level (not sure how far). For example, my L10 fisher can't fish the Salt Strand in Lower La Noscea. I get the "you sense something below" message. My 43 fisher can. I forgot to write down the level, but it's near the 40s.

When I bring my 43 fisher to a 45 or 50 fishing hole, I can fish there (some lower level fish despite the hole level), but I do lose fish on occasion.
