Hello fellow Fishermen.

Just saying hi as i joined today. Mostly hanging out at Marissa's but i throw the odd lure in here and see if i can catch a big one.

Re: Hello fellow Fishermen.

Hello Skyrant and fellow anglers. I just joined as well.
I'm looking forward to becoming a part of the community here.
I'm currently fishing Nebimonites until 27. Any suggestions for a good skill fish after that?
Preferrably one that will provide a little gil as well.

Re: Hello fellow Fishermen.

Welcome both of you. I don't think we're going to match titanictus or Marissa's for fishing discussion here, but Icemage and the indomitable Jei are frequent posters, so we can probably field any questions you have. ^^

Personally I did Ogre Eels for a while after Nebimonite, but that was before you had to fight the fish. Now you can probably skip straight to Shall Shells for money and skillups. They're really easy to pull in.

Re: Hello fellow Fishermen.

There's actually a fair number of experienced fishermen on this site, but as Taskmage noted, the place to get the best answers is definitely at Titanictus.com.

EDIT: As far as gil fish, you could try fishing for Cone Calamary. They're somewhat lower level than Shall Shell, somewhat more active on the rod, but also not in an area that's full of junk items, and they're somewhere in the mid-40s range. Another possibility if you have a LOT of inventory space is Gugru Tuna. It sells fairly well, but is a large and unstackable fish, but caps at level 41.

Personally, I fished for Dark Bass (33) / Giant Catfish (31) / Red Terrapin (53) in La Theine Plateau's small pond around L-10. You can probably use a Halcyon and Frog Lure if you'd like to try that (but be warned you won't make much money at it).

If you haven't got your Lu Shang's yet, another option is to just fish for Moat Carp and Sandfish (51) using Insect Paste in Rabao.

Re: Hello fellow Fishermen.

Ice? Wow I thought you had left this game I haven't seen you around.

There are tons of new fish and once the appropriate levels are found out I think there will be some great options for the 'skilling gaps' of old.

Oh and /wave to Jei too!


**Edit:

I feel rude now for not even acknowledging OP.

Hello! Always nice to meet another Fisher

Re: Hello fellow Fishermen.

I took 6 months off of FFXI and have been playing sparingly for the past two weeks (couple hours every other night or so). The expansion is fun, but I just don't have the time to invest at the moment...

Re: Hello fellow Fishermen.

Hello all!

I'm a fellow fisher as well and wanted to say hi to you all! I guess the recent IGE/Alla fiasco has made this place a busy hub of activity.

Anyway, I left Alla as a forum resource and joined FFXIOnline permanently, and I couldn't resist coming over to say a big Hello! to my fellow fisherman in the fishing section. :D

And of course, it's very cozy to see Ice and Jei and Glucian and others here (I'm sure there's more I haven't seen yet).

Re: Hello fellow Fishermen.

After Nebs, I stayed on the ferry and switched to using minnows/sinking minnows and went after cone calamary. While they cap out pretty high, a friend of mine with fishing skill of 9 has been bringing them in quite easy and you will get noble ladies and blues mixed in. All sell pretty well on my server, though I used the calamary to skill cooking by making sushi.

I did do some eel fishing to turn in for the inside the belly quest and I'll mix shall shells in for a change of scenery, but the noble/blue/calamary trifecta has been keeping me going for awhile and has always provided a nice profit.

Re: Hello fellow Fishermen.

I forgot about calamary. Does anyone know the skill cap on that?

Halcyon+Minnow on the ferry for those three fish can keep you in the money and skillups up through the 60s.

Re: Hello fellow Fishermen.

cone calamary caps 48.
when it first came out = 2k/stack
today = 20k/stack

Re: Hello fellow Fishermen.

Tentacle Sushi has become more commonly used now. That's my explanation.

Dunno about Nero di Seppia, but the Black Ink recipe looks crappy.

YAY MOAT CARP!


I wanna cook! Where do I go to cook in Wind... w


Windhurst? Windurst? You know the place I'm talking about.

Re: Hello fellow Fishermen.

I suppose I should say hi to re-introduct myself as well ... this was actually the very first FFXI forum/community I joined, far in advance of when I actually started playing... Thus also one of the few places where my username does not match my player name ^^
