Thought I'd post this here as well. A player "The Huckster" on Sargatanas posted this on the Lodestone. Original Post: http://forum.square-enix...p;viewfull=1#post1996037I think that the gathering level required for catching a certain fish is correlated with its item level. And assuming that Silver Sovereign needs 301+ gathering and Rivet Oyster was caught with 356+ gathering I think we can make a hypothesis that: ilvl70 - minimum gathering / perception - 251+:Beguiler Chub Bloody Brewer Carp Diem Caterwauler Chirurgeon Dream Goby Gigantshark Glimmerscale Goldenfin Great Gudgeon High Perch Matron Carp Navigator's Brand Octomammoth Oschon's Printa Stormdancer Zalera ilvl75 - minimum gathering / perception - 301+:Armorer Jacques The Snipper Mud Golem Old Softie Sabertooth Cod Silver Sovereign Slime King Syldra ilvl80 - minimum gathering / perception - 351+:Blue Widow Crystal Perch Dark Ambusher Dark Knight Faerie Queen Ghost Carp Judgeray Junkmonger Marrow Sucker Moldva Mud Pilgrim Rivet Oyster Maybe the spread (250/300/350) is not that wide (eg 290/300/310) - but I think the mechnics behind it works like that. (when you compare fishing to crafting for example) |

Desidious has much lower stats and only missed once before catching.
something's afoot

Yes but I was still at 351 gathering which leads me to believe RNG plays a bigger role here but.. I'm not sure. I'm about to lose my mind working on this Bloody Brewer. It's a giant piranha! How picky could it be?! |
