THIS GUIDE WILL CHANGE ACCORDINGLY ONCE 2.0 IS RELEASED.

This is a list of all the equipment that will be suitable for people who like to go fishing and Fisher Materia... A lot of the items will also be great equipment for the two other DoL's. Number in front of item is optimal or required rank.

These items are suggested options (You do not always have to upgrade, pls compare stats/lvls before purchasing) that revolve around Fisher's stats including: Dex, Pie, Perception, Gathering, Output and Scanning with possible stats that carry over to Botany and Mining.


You have plenty of options below if the optimized item is not in stock. FF14 is all about diversity including gear so this is not an optimized guide so don't ask why so many options.

List will be updated to reflect latest gear name changes
Blue = updated and clickable links
(U/U) = Unique / Untradeable

Did you get it through a quest or got it crafted?
Trying to find one too :)

Seeing as how the Bamboo Fishing Rod still uses Hempen Bowstring and Iron Wire, I would say that those remain the same.

Bamboo Fishing Rod uses Brass Reel instead of the Bronze Reel, and it uses a Bone Fish Hook. I don't think the Gorge Hooks are used on reels, but for lures only.

I'd suggest trying:

Willow Branch, Willow Lumber, Bronze Reel/Brass Reel, Copper Hook/Brass Hook, Hempen Bowstring, Iron Wire.

I would rather have some universal fishing gear than having to continually buy or make and repair new gear every few days or 3 or 4.   I like different gear/items but I wish they'd at least make the levels for that stuff farther apart so you get more use out of your time and gil you spent acquiring it or making it and not make it where it's only optimal if you are close to that items level. 

I wear heavily damaged gear a lot as it's just too much to repair all the time, I dn't have the inventory space and I don't wanna trek back to my npc all the time to get mats and I don't want to continually upgrade gear or buy new fishing gear every few levels.  lol.. maybe this is a sign telling me I wont be playing this game for long.

I dn't mind crafting but it's just kinda too much for me how they want you concentrate on crafting so much.

Could add Velveteen Scarf +12 Perception lvl 33 All Classes

Feet:

30 - Canvas Gaiters (Gathering +11, PIE +1)
40 - Velveteen Gaiters (Gathering +14, PIE +1)
50 - Linen Gaiters (Gathering +17, PIE +1)
