After seeing Tek get his I raced down to Selbina to congratulate him and try my own luck... 1/53 on Silk. Now for those Gugs... damn, dameion just got opal silk too
It's a flood of opal silks! I'll post a screenshot in a sec 1/190 Opal Silk (Lik) Does anyone on siren need Lik before I try and sell these? I have 42 left over! Sold the 42 for 65% of the AH price, not bad

Nice. While I never had much trouble catching Lik at 88 (besides the breaks) When should I start on Gugs? 94+?
I would start on them asap, they are great for skilling up.

Can get them to 30-40% with 89 skill(with rings), looks like I need to tack on a few levels.
Looks like I can pass the time while camping Bugbear for my gun trial fishing Armored Pisces. Offline

Mine is only <577[lm]/2761[Pz]>, very weak D: I should try it again That reminds me on matsya, do you need mooching to use the live bait to fish them up?

mooching increases the time you have to reel fish in with drill calamary/dwarf pugils, don't need it just to use them, though.

Mooching is useless .-.
Is it worth targeting Matsya?
Working on getting a second skillup ring for dameion since people have mentioned two help.
The fish is Takitario atm on siren, heaviest. 617 Pz is my best so far, wiki says up to 647 though. :( Might make top 25 but takitaro is easy to catch. I'll fish them tomorrow some more and see if I can do a lil better. Carbuncle.Flionheart said: » Is it worth targeting Matsya? It is a personal goal/achievement if you will. Think of it as a rite of passage for obtaining ebisu. It is the "ultimate" fish requiring absolute dedication to prepare and to reel in (very difficult fish). On top of that other lil fish can bite your bait and destroy your progress, and of course matsya can snap your line. I always encourage anyone that I know who just received ebisu to try it, it really is a cool thing to get. It's not for money making though, you'll see people with it in bazaars occasioanlly though as a trophy. Giant Donko for GP fish and fishing contest fish. Won't use the ring very much if I win, but mainly doing this for a friend.
Have to get lucky though, fished up 100 donkos last time it was them and placed 32nd on the heaviest one I got. Not worth fishing up that many though. Offline

Pretty much what Kal said. A friend of mine was once like "OMG look up Matsya npc's for 25k etc" Really not anywhere near being a profit fish.
Fished up about ~50 cave cherax in an hour or so, that yielded about 12 dwarf pugils on average from that amount of cherax, and took me like 50 broken/lost lines of bait before catching one Matsya lol. Offline

Try scouting peoples' bazaar near the selbina guild or preferred fishing spot maybe? Got my ring from a fish in someones bazaar for 15k lol.

Good luck~ :3 More exciting that way, checking to see how much the fish you just caught weighs or how big/little it is.
I got really frustrated after catching like 50 giant catfish aiming for ~45lm and every single one of them being 80+ lol ; -; I'm waiting till the entry thing is over to see if I won in any spot :(

what day/time is the submission deadline? Should fish some more up and keep trying if you don't think the one you've turned in isn't close enough to what's being asked :3
You can turn in another fish even if you've turned one in for submission already. |
