This guide is exceptional! I have one request though, would it be possible to have the maps portion of this site link to your guide somehow?

The reason is that when I am in-game and I alt+tab out to ensure I'm doing the right kind of fishing to fill in a "?" spot in my guide, I first go to the maps section and then mouse over the picture of this fish that I haven't caught yet. This produces a name, but doesn't give any further info (like level of fish, or what technique or bait is required to catch this fish).

It would be incredibly useful if clicking on the various fish then linked to a section in your guide that discusses that specific fish and how it is caught. Or perhaps the information could be automatically extracted from your guide using webserver tricks and then just display your info as a bubble on the map?

As an example I had to use the maps here, click on the location, and then mouse-over the fish to get a name. With the name, I had to then look up Blue Octopus using ffxivdb.com and then learned that I wouldn't even be able to catch that until level 25, when I can use mooch.

I suppose as an alternative the maps could link to ffxivdb, but the problem there is it would require permission and also any changes to ffxivdb would error out the maps posted here.

Once again excellent work, and thank you for your time!

Cool, looking forward to it.

On a side note, it looks like river fishing has been entirely removed from the game as it pertains to the previous requirements for bait.

I thought I was confused. but in your manual it does have the old crayfish ball description from phase4/open beta as well as your notes about it. I was able to use both bloodworm as well as crayfish ball here at the Rogue River.

One other thing that I would add into this guide along with the type/level of bait is who you can buy it from. I sometimes get confused on who exactly has what bait for me to purchase from where. Otherwise, I love this guide. Thanks so much for putting it together, it was a big help for a first time fisherman.
