What? 6x Class Twenty-four was 156k on your server??? I usully buy the 5 I need for daily turn-ins for less than 1-5k total... Same with Dusky Shark and Uzu-something. May be because of the age of this video, not sure. Good video when it comes to explaining various fishing mechanics, but watching 75% of the video to get to the titled topic, makes it a bad one. Sorry.
This game has very elaborate fishing! I love fishing so i'll probably enjoy this game more. I find fishing very relaxing and is a welcome activity that takes the mind off the usual mob/quest/dungeon grind. Downloading the game right now. Good video!
@@SamsonGrey26 I'm sure I will once the game will stop crashing at startup! ☹ I clicked the restore button in settings thinking it would just check integrity of files, but it seems to have deleted the entire game and is now restarting the entire download. 🙄So, in another 2½ hours I can try again to get past the crashing at startup. Bummer!
A minor note about something you mentioned in the guide: Only BIG fish have the gathering requirements, common tier fish (and Fabled Legends in Ocean Fishing - the Blue Background fish) do not have hard gathering requirements, and can be caught at any gathering level. However, they have a soft gathering 'expectation' but nothing that prevents you from catching them. It is possible for someone with 400 gathering to catch Lv90 common tier fish in Ultima Thule. It's not efficient, quick, or guarenteed, but it is doable!
Thanks, always appreciate the finer details! To be clear when you say soft gathering expectation does that mean it can be caught but has a higher chance of getting away than if you had sufficient gathering?
@@SamsonGrey26 correct. For example Blue Crab in Kholusia is a common tier fish, you should have Lv90 gear (even 5.0 script gear) to catch it. However, you can use lower level gear. It will just take longer to bite and have a higher chance to get away. There is one (sorta two) exceptions to this, the first of which is Mayashell (which you covered in a video) - it does have a gathering minimum require despite being common tier (it technically also has a perception minimum too if you want Glioaether). Secondly, Spearfishing also has a good illustration soft requirements as well (along with a hard req). If you go to Othardian Lumpsuckers with Lv60-70 gear, you won't see hitboxes, and are unable to spear fish. Higher gathering leads to higher sized hit boxes for spearfishing (up to a specific cap). It's a bit nuanced, but something I've commonly seen asked in the fishing community.
Nice guide! Catching big fish is pretty lucrative though, especially ones that desynth into swimsuits, cloths, and sandles. Those fish are up so often that you could catch a few in a day and stockpile on glams.
Thanks Sydney! umed and ahhed about delving into big fish more in gil making as experimented with a few of the classics like giganshark and on multiple occasions I failed to catch 1 within the time threshold that I was using to compare methods (maybe just my bad RNG!), ultimately choosing not to include them. But you are absolutely correct, some of the swimsuits etc.. do sell well (price and semi-decent frequency) if your stars align! If anyone is wondering the following page nicely lists applicable fish for ' desynthesis rewards discussed; ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Desynthesis_Rewards Topic for guide another day!
I know the feeling, be great if there was some gil reward, doesn't even need to be the absolute best, but just something to make it not feel like a waste of time!
It's a great shout and i'll fess up, until more recently i didn't realise there were two spearfishing options for gilled topknots (the fish for moonlights if anyone is unaware) and thought the only option was the one forcing you to get the 10 pre-requiste fsh, which is hideous! Though Endtides from lampsuckers are still holding better value and thus generally more profitable, if looking to repeat regualry i'd recommend mixing it up and getting some endtides and some moonlights as generally its quicker to sell smaller amounts of 2 items, than flooding too many of one!
Ah this video is why my secret money making farm for the last few years suddenly got flooded by wannabes, time to move to something else. Fishing and spearfishing being way easier now tanked all the prices
cast light is actually very useful, helps my eyes more quicker to caught attention whenever looking on other screen. Also when having other sounds on, hence the sound when fish caught bait weren't noticeable, the light shaking does help catch my attention as well. Yes, in this main example, fishing while watching streams, coz who can stay very long on one of very monotonous activities such as fishing... 😅
Only for certain fish around ARR and HW and Ocean Fishing. For the most part, they will remain at 3 (they standardized the gathering in ShB and onwards)
Yep white script vendor in radz, I think the folklore tomes are the only item specific to radz tho as otherwise there are script vendors in every city.
@@SamsonGrey26 Awesome, ty for the reply. Just hit 90 on FSH and knocking out job quests now. Hope to be raking in the big money soon! Also, if the only DoL or DoH class I have is Fisher at 90, does the Aetherial Reduction still apply to me? I went to Mor Dhona and did not see the quest to get it.
Yep the quest should still be there for you. I think the only perquisites are having done the inscrutable tastes quest to unlock collectables and I think there's a level 50ish msq quest.
@@SamsonGrey26 Yes, found it and thank you! Once last question, I haven't finished Endwalker yet, and only have lvl 80 fishing gear. When I get to the lumpsuckers (lvl 90 spearfishing nodes), the fish do not have a hit indicator. Is this due to my low level in Gat/Per? Thank you again!
@@mrwhitelight92 oooh, yes I not 100% (chip in anyone who has a better answer) but I'd guess its gear related, needing a bit more of the gathering stat. Ensure you have the collectable ability/buff up as well else you won't be able to use atherial reduction if there not caught as collectables.
Let us know if there are any other concepts/ ideas key to your successful fishing trips!?
One thing about diadem fish, you can desysth all of them into the other diadem reagents!
Nice tip, I wasn't aware of that!

Is it better to sell the fish or the swimsuit?
Just returned after a long break, and I think was your 1000th sub! Thanks for the video.
Nice, thanks for the 1000th sub!!!
i got the shark mount on accident at like lvl 60 while leveling to 90, never got 10k points again, lucky meee
that's epic work, can't say i'm not a little jealous! :)
too bad that i can't ocean fish for gil. i loved ocean fishing!
I know the feeling, be great if there was some gil reward, doesn't even need to be the absolute best, but just something to make it not feel like a waste of time!
technically you can, you still get scrips from that, so you can buy the bait that is only available through scrips and sell that on marketboard
why did'nt you try moon aethersands with spearfishing? you can get like 300 1h going for 400k on the Light data center.

Thank You for making videos on this theme, really helpful, appraceate it! (sorry, bad english)
No probs, my pleasure!
How does this compare to Dawntrail?
Haven't had chance to fish much yet in DT, but will defo revisit this vid and the other gathering ones over the next few weeks :)
You do exp not gil
Haych?
very good guide
nice format
Nice! Glad you enjoyed!
My WoL is scared of the dark (she is only 4) so the light is vital to stop her being scared.
Haha! took me a mo to realize you were referring to the cast light ability... fair enough!
Whhaaat
Are you not Hurricane Dangerbaby???
@@Art2D2 I wrote this when I was a lala lol
I always us anglers light! If only it could change colours
Higher gathering increases the number of fish you pull in with Triple Hook.
Indeed! though worth noting some fish have hard caps preventing you getting more than the standard 3 from triple hook regardless of gathering stat.
Only for certain fish around ARR and HW and Ocean Fishing.
For the most part, they will remain at 3 (they standardized the gathering in ShB and onwards)
And this is where I stopped the video because the market board is not the best place to buy things players rip players off
Was the location Rhazat tan to trade in the white scrips?
Yep white script vendor in radz, I think the folklore tomes are the only item specific to radz tho as otherwise there are script vendors in every city.
