yeah, i think you got insanely lucky. I don't know the amount of hours i've spent there and how many fish i've gotten.
good job.


now that we are 100%, i'm kinda upset the Tricorn isn't in game at all for fishing :(

have you (or anybody else) still been trying to get it?

I'm on gilgamesh and i've been at cape westwind pretty much all day long for a week now. I'm the only one that i've seen fishing here.

it's been a week...all day long every day (like 8am~ till 10pm~)... and i can't tell you the amount of goby's i've fished up, the stacks of wahoo's and sharks i have, the amount i've spent on repairs and bait....

seriously. a week and i'm way beyond my limit. the fact that there is already a bug on gilgamesh with another fish at sylphlands almost leads me to start thinking that titanic sawfish (on my server) is also messed up.

the first person to catch it said in this thread he got it in 15 minutes. i've been here a week. so luck is beyond insane times infinity, or my server is bugged

yeah, it's seriously got to be bugged on gilgamesh. i mean the sheer amount of time i've spent there is far beyond anything normal.

pill bugs and goby balls will get goby's all day long. (although with the extreme amount of time i've spent there, i've used every bait possible, fished in all weathers, fished in weathers + moon phases, you name it, i've done it. that was before it was confirmed clear and noon condition)

i've moved to every inch of ledge, been told to move a million times, i've even fished so much that it doesn't allow me to fish the whole zone till i log out for a bit.

I've never once gotten a lost fish message, or a "heavy" audio sound. it's always been wahoo or shark and never anything else.

well, the only "good" thing to come out of a week~ fishing there is i have stacks and stacks of sharks and wahoo to sell when the market is a little better.

Both the Mushroom Crab in the Sylphlands and the Sawfish are bugged for me on Midgardsormr. A whole day of Gobys and nothing but sharks to show for it. Errors on the Common Sculpin mooch telling me that the bait is not suited for the location. That being the case, I have a question...

Can anyone tell me the particulars of how the Heliobatis in Mor Dhona is caught?

The sticky doesn't say that it is mooched - however, the familiar pattern of Silverfish - Goldfish is present at the North Silvertear fishing spot, with an Assassin Beta present that can muck up the first or the second mooch. It feels like a mooch - but if it isn't, it may be another bugged fish since I've fished here for hours with different baits and all conditions have come and gone. This is mainly for my fishing log and I'm really close to finishing it.

If someone has the info and would be so kind, I would really appreciate it.

Cheers and happy fishing!

Silver Shark
Name of location: Hidden Falls
Type: Freshwater
Level: 35
Bait: Herring Ball

None of your servers are broken, first off the Mushroom Crab needs the fog weather, so that's your problem with that one. Second, the Sawfish is most likely sunny weather only (i've never seen a single person catch this at any other weather), coupled with the near constant different weather effects and the fact that you can easily miss the small window of sunny weather due to catching Merlthor Goby-->Silver Shark or just not be able to proc the second hq for the Wahoo and that's why it's taking so long to catch. I went 1/2339 on it, caught it in sunny weather as with every other screenshot testimony I've seen. Chances are if it's taking forever and a day to catch it has a condition that we've just not found out yet. I originally thought it just couldn't be the weather cuz I had been fishing for it for so long, but I was proven wrong.

The bait I used to finally land it was Lugworm (it singles out merlthor goby completely). Personally I think having the Big Catch would be a great benefit, but I tried every kind of Big Catch bait and none of them can isolate the merlthor goby well enough to justify it. Spoon worm is the closest I found to isolating with big catch and 4/5 times you'll catch the Haraldr Haddock. Personally I'd recommend complete isolation of the fish for this because you have short windows of opportunity to actually have a chance, and I stress chance, at landing it.

I'm saying they aren't broken because I too went 1/2339 on this fish. I thought it was borked too, but it wasn't. It was merely the condition that needed finding. I never said I know all, I'm just trying to help you guys out with this really annoying fish.

I can make claims about fog weather because I recieved the exact same error message you got with it and posted the screenshot of. Then I landed the Mushroom Crab during fog weather and it worked just find and others have reported that it works too.

I wasn't trying to use "broken servers" as a blanket term saying that there is 0 flaws in SE's game. I know there are many many flaws and bugs in the game, I was talking about the specifics for these two fish. Saying that they aren't broken because I've tested them to try to help you and others out and encourage you to keep trying. Not to cause your previous posts to be irrelevant. Just trying to help with a solution for you since you're struggling with it and I know how that is man.

Hakrev's position of weather being the cause may very well be true, But Rescuer is correct, the error message recieved is not correct (that is the bug). it should either:

1) Default to another fish
2) Indicate that "you sense if conditions were right....blah blah"

the only way to prove your point on this is to go to every server, go to that location, do exactly what needs to be done.

otherwise your "opinion" is based on data off your own server only
