Give the conditions I listed above a try and let me know if it works out for you ^^

whelp, with my post above, i actually spent 9 full days on gilgamesh trying to get it
I abandoned gilgamesh.

I've been on my legacy character on Sargatanas, and literrally got titanic sawfish in ONE MINUTE. that's right, ONE MINUTE

and i got it just before/about 10am game time http://i.imgur.com/aOH970D.jpg

oh yeah, definitely sunny weather. most people so far reported "at noon" but now we can move that time earlier a bit.

since i'm back on my legacy character now i'm moving onto fishing up everything else in game all over again, so i won't be testing cape westwind again for now.

An interesting idea. I think you'd need a much larger sample size of testing than just once to get an idea whether it judges the catch at the time you caught the HQ fish or the time you casted it to catch the target fish.

First off, I'd like to confirm that the Mushroom Crab can only be caught in fog. After reading Hakrev's post, I went to test it - I got the glitch message early on, and when the weather changed to fog, it came right up. My fishing log thanks Hakrev for clearing that up - I do think they need to change that message though.

Secondly, with holding the mooch fish - the main issue I see is the "The fish sense something amiss" message, which will lose you your mooch. I had been fishing in Cape Westwind for about 20 minutes and got the HQ Wahoo on the line during fog weather. I decided to hold it for about 10 minutes to see if it would clear up, which it didn't, so I cast it out. Instead of a cast I got the above message and had to move a few feet to continue. Also, I've fished at other spots before and left myself "engaged" but not actually fishing while I took care of some real life things - when I would come back, it wouldn't be long before I got the message to move. I'm pretty sure that the timer that makes you move is based on how long you've been standing at the coast with your line ready, not how many fish you've caught. That's what it seems like to me.

I also spent a wjile on Titanic Sawfish, managed to get it on Fair weather at about 2PM, sun on dial had just went behind the weather bit, i Did got through this weather/time phase a good few times and not catch it though. Im on Ragnarok

that is indeed a very good point, is there some indication of moonphase in-game, other than looking at it? /clock doesnt work ; ;

Could anyone give me any information on catching, Sundisc @ The Burning Wall, Eastern Thanalan?

Last fish I need in all of thanalan.

Thank you.

i think you meant 1230pm :)


yes, before anybody had caught titanit sawfish, i was at the point where my theory was moon phase plus weather.
so I tried on all moon phases. full moon and new moon then became my target.
then after trying over and over and over i started thinking NEW moon PLUS rain, which i tested time and time again as well.

then people finally started catching it around noon on clear weather.

but as i've noted as well, nobody on gilgamesh has caught it, which is the server I was on and I believe it's bugged there.


since i moved to sargatanas and caught it withing a single minute being there, i also caught it on clear weather but mine was at about 10am. so right now the time frame is about 10am till 2pm~ based on times people have caught it

we need more catch data on it to get the time frame more correct though
