This is my 100th FFXIV Fishing Guide! Everyone has been sharing how my guides have helped them throughout their fishing journeys and I cannot get any happier to hear it. Thank you everyone for your continued support and trust in these guides, and I hope to do even better for the next 100 guides! 💙🐟
this little bugger took approximately 650 leeches from me before it finally hooked. now it's one of my favorite minions, especially when fishing, but it sure did put up a hell of a fight!
Despite your excellent advice, I did fish for this during the Nemo window xD Caught Nemo, slapped it, and caught the bucket! Thank you so much for the guide!
I remember that this is one of my first targets when I actively started fishing. I was there with my friend wio doesn't like fishing that much but he is a minion collector. We started fishing there and I got my bucket way before he did. I got yelled hard in Discord xD Also weird thing I found out about this fishing hole: NOT having Coerthas Folklore tome is actually really beneficial in attempts to catch bucket because 2 out of 3 fishes with !!! bite will be unavailable while minion is the third one. But I guess if you read this you already have this folklore
It's true that I already got the minion, but I'll be able to warn a friend that is a new passionate fisher. I'll tell her to get this before the books.
200 baits used, 3 !!! bites in all of those, 3 times they got away. Starting to give up hope... Update: The Magic Bucket was acquired at 262 bait. Thanks for the guide!
Yeah I forgot the first 30 bait when I started but 100 leeches later with it up and map allowanced used still nothing yet. Grabbed 200 more leeches and still trying.
I got bored and dove into fishing more finally, and then decided to take on the challenge to get this guy probably too early lol (hundreds of leeches, wasted). Leveled up enough for surface slap and followed your guide, got the sucker in maybe 10 mins! Thank you so much!!! 💜

Got mine today because of this vid. Thank you!
The first test I gave my fishing apprentices was to catch this "fish" took one of them months. So stick to it if your trying you'll get it!
Finally. Thank you soo much! :'D
My favorite minion!

this and the Assassin Fry are the best companions for a long day of fishing
You bet they are! Gigantpole is up there as well.

I’ve had so much trouble getting this to bite! It’s my most elusive fish yet, and I’ve caught all the 2.0 ones
Update: Thanks to this video, I decided to go out there and try this again after having given up months ago. Got it within half an hour!
It's weird to think about the fact that I used (at least) 300 leeches to catch this sucker, only for me to leave it to chill on my island.
It's happy.
I may have gotten lucky since I caught this in under 10 casts 😅
Thanks for the guide! Didn't even know this minion existed :D
Same her I didn’t even know it was rare I just looked up what minions I could fish up
"may have gotten lucky" dude stfu.

Convinced it doesn't exist. All my attempts nothing, can't even remember how much bait I wasted so far.
Make sure snagging is on.

bought 200 brute leeches and caught it on the very last one
Perfection.
still relatively new to fishing (level 64), how does one get the !!! reaction? or do i need to wait until a higher level to try for this minion?
Nope! Just make sure you battle effects are not turned off for yourself!
I must be missing something but who knows what lol. Tried this stat down to the tee for hours and nothing but Mountain Krakens.
Snagging is the usual culprit.
must of adjusted the drop rate. took around 5 minutes to catch 2 (1 for print xd)
Doubtful, as that would've been announced (or it was bugged!).
Congratulations on the luck!
Nah, that's your luck. Lol
I can confirm they did not adjust it you lucky bastard
bucket of salmœn
Took 7 baits for me. The first !!! i got was the bucket. Now to figure out what to do with 300+ brute leeches. Thank you very much for the guide.
