Talk:Fishing 1-100 While Questing For Lu Shang's by Diabolos-Brian

Lots of Comments
- First, I've found that the bite-rate in Vunkerl Inlet (S) stinks, as in lots of "!!!" and Bastore Sweepers but rarely the Bastore Bream or Trumpet Shells that will get you skill.
- Second, I'd add a comment on the "Cooking" section about how having Cooking 100, either directly or indirectly, improves your profits, generally.
- Third, for Guild Point items, I'd say that the Waders and Apron are worth looking into at least, but, overall, yeah, Guild Point items are about Ebisu's more than anything else.
- Fourth, I'd link to Pelican Ring via Fish Ranking, as well as Albatross Ring and Penguin Ring via Inside the Belly.
- Fifth, 11-27 is also possible in Bastok Markets or North Gustaberg, depending on your home city.
- Sixth, you don't have to be inside the docking area to find a NPC to buy your fish in Nashmau; there's one in the north section of town.
- Seventh, this is the best guide (aside from mine) on fishing in a while, because it is simple and easy-to-follow.
Good Job! --Ctownwoody 17:24, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
- I took out the Vunkerl Inlet (S) section completely.
- I edited the comment in the 'Cooking' section.
- I edited the comment in the 'Guild Items' section.
- I added links for items mentioned in the pre-guide sections. But chose not to include the other rings (Armored Pisces are easy to reel in).
- I kept the '11-27' section in tact only due to the fact the brothers are there for the Lu Shang's Fishing Rod.
- I edited the "Advice:" of the (now) '56-86' section.
- Thanks for the compliment. This guide is meant to be an extremely straight forward approach to skill.

Out of curiosity was there any particular reason choosing Windurst for Gold Carp skill-ups (27-56)? Is the bite rate noticeably better vs Bastok or San d'Oria?

Hume rod vs rusty items
I just started on the windy part. i notice theres an abundance of rusty items here. 1 item just broke my hume rod lol is there any way around this? can i use a different rod that wont break from catching these rusty items? i got the message "Whatever caught the hook was too heavy to catch with this rod" Also id like to say thank you. i stopped fishing at lvl 19 about 2 years ago. i got stuck trying to fish off the selby boat for skill ups and discouraged me. now i found this guide and have been fishing my 200 fish everyday for skill ups and going for Lu's rod (something i never thought id try lol) :) --Amandarose
- To answer your question about the Windurst part with Hume Rod and Insect paste, simply don't catch any items. I know it sucks to lose bait to an item but you do run the risk of breaking your rod to Rusty Subligar. That is the only item capable of physically breaking your rod. Out of personal experience, rusty items there are in fact more on the rare side than you may think. Keep at it and you may find you were just having bad luck for a bit.

- Thank you for asking this and bringing it to my attention that I had neglected to introduce Stamina Fishing when it should have been. Thank you also Sifridus for answering the question. --Diabolos-Brian 00:06, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
Regarding Albatross Ring
Perhaps I'm just not a perfectly accurate fisherman, but your guide suggests if you obtain a Lu Shang's Rod prior to 56, as long as you're 40 you could attempt Nashmau. I just wanted to point out that for me at 47.7 fishing skill, Ahtapot's are nearly impossible to catch with out the use of the Albatross Ring. Not saying it's not wise to visit Nashmau for your skill ups early but I would most certainly suggest using the ring to better your odds while there. Honestly I would suggest anyone who wants to fish as a career move spend the time in obtaining one for any level. Sifridus 22:06, September 20, 2009 (UTC)
- I alternated between there and the grotto after I got my Lu at level 43~. Although I do remember the Grims/Ahts being stubborn I don't remember them being downright insane. I will ask a few people on my server and other fisherman I know around that level and if they agree that I'm suggesting this spot too early I will work with them and find an alternate spot that also makes a decent amount of gil.--Diabolos-Brian 06:11, October 10, 2009 (UTC)
- After speaking with a few fisherman around your level they did agree that the Ahts and Grims can be a bit too much and suggested some different spots. The location I chose was Korroloka Tunnel and have updated the guide. Thanks again for bringing this issue to light.--Diabolos-Brian 01:04, October 12, 2009 (UTC)
I stuck it out any way with the use of my Albatross ring, once reaching 50 the fish (most of the time) are a lot more manageable with out the aid of the ring. Now at 52 I only pop the ring there if I'm not in the mood for a challenge. Let me take the time here to just say I'm in no way nitpicking your guide as I find it to be incredibly useful and very accurate. I do plan on using this guide until I reach 100 so if I come across any other minor revisions I'll be happy to bring them to your attention. Sifridus 23:19, October 12, 2009 (UTC)
