So has anybody determined what the valuable fish are/will be? I can see Silver/Hammerhead sharks being valuable, although I've had a dozen silver sharks on the market for a couple days and nobody has bought any. They're not RIDICULOUSLY priced at 400 gil each... I dunno, maybe that's high, but it doesn't seem that bad.

The other option is probably blacklip oysters since alchemists use that for an easy high level recipe which goes into +crit/+int mage gear I believe.

Is there anything else? I have not found much of anything lucrative at all =(

Better solicit a crafter. :)

Just so folks are aware, I've been editing a post in Truvy's guide post (and edits don't show an updated time in the "Latest Posts") but I posted a few fishing spots that seemed worthwhile for grinding, along with posting a link to a spreadsheet for detailing fish & bait correlations that I've been updating that's sitting on my dropbox. Here's the link in case you want it, and I'll also post it in the OP.

One thing I realized today is that floating minnow works in both salt and fresh water and I've predominately been using it for saltwater fish, so eventually I'll have to go back and document the freshwater fish with it.

Right now my play time is kind of sporadic, due to splitting time between going through the main storyline with a friend and actually fighting the servers to log on, but I'll keep posting updates as I can.


If you're on a new server, I think a lot of it has to do with people being able to level gathering much faster than crafting. Crafters will probably have to catch up to be able to actually utilize the stuff you're selling.

You might want to look into the various corals. I know back in 1.0 red coral sold like crazy as it was used for high level goldsmith synths. As you said, sharks seem to be pretty popular, but again, among the high level crafting community. Whitelip oyster could be useful as well as it's needed to craft the fishing hat..but more high level crafting stuff. XD

Personally I've just been listing everything on the markets that have a recipe associated with it, if it's reasonable to do so. If it has a vendor selling price, I list it a bit under that, and then try to find a reasonable price for the HQs.

Hello everyone.

If I mat id like to ask a few quick questions, how exactly is bait working in ARR?

Are baits classed? (freshwater, saltwater, etc)

Will copperfish for instance bite to any freshwater bait that is above the level of the fish?

and how does crossover bait work, such as floating minnow? does it work anywhere because its a lure?

Are any fish only biting to a specific bait?

thanks
and just in-case it helps anyone, the database on fish im puttting together, still a WIP, only level 30 atm

Time of day also seems to play a part, Fullmoon Sardines for instance, i can olny catch them at night.

Been busting my hump. Only level 40 at moment. Been waiting for the rain for 4 hours.

Fished every node except for the skyfishing nodes so far.

It's so much fun.

L40 Fishing Quest
Description:
Sybell informs you that the five raincallers she seeks can be fished out of Jadeite Flood (New Gridania, just outside the Adventurer's Guild) with stem borers, but only when rain falls.

Objectives:
Deliver raincallers to Sybell (5)



Waiting for rain......*does a rain dance*

Swear I looked there lol, will check again, thanks.

So I'm at the triple mooch quest for Bloodshore and was wondering what results others have had. I'm on my 2nd 99 stack. Lots of silver sharks off 1 mooch, blue octopus, other regular fish. I am on the shore of North Bloodshore with the fate behind me so I hope that's the right area.

Found this: No it is not wrong the north bloodshore is off of a dock near the hidden falls go to the ferry and follow the north wall until you reach the docks. Once you use the goby balls the only fish i caught was the herring.

That didn't take long once got to the right spot:
