Always double check that you have the folklore book!

No. Every fish in the Rusted Reservoir, Moonlight Guppy included, are Precision Hookset fish.

I forgot to add in the Free Trial players note! No, you do not need Surface Slap! You will just be using Chum and Rest like the Lv.71-99 method!

@@FruitySnacks Is level 50 the minimum lvl of fishing to be able to catch this fish?

@@TheMonarch403 Realistically, yes. Technically, no, but it's not worth the time at the lower levels.

@@FruitySnacksthank you I got it after 3 casts as a level 50 fisher with 302 gathering I just waited till 9:01am cast chum and rest and only had to repeat that twice

it was just added in in DT, so so so useful!

@FruitySnacks I also updated my blog guide to this Moogle Event, embedding your video, so I hope it helps others too.

@@snowman4506 Ah, thanks. I don't feel /quite/ so blind. There've been a lot of changes to actions/abilities recently and fishing isn't high on my to-do list very often! I was also confused because there is a L50*** one and this guide talks about higher levels, but I got the Minimog on my L50 ish character. But I got it - and easily, thanks to this vid :)

@@uqholder1590 if you are getting the !!! Bites, then no. Just unlucky. Gear only matters with if you have enough gathering to actually catch the fish. Big fish have fixed slip rates, and while Zaleras is low, you just got unlucky and had it slipped. Unless you are using Patience II, which will not help you at all.

@@FruitySnacks I tried to catch it too except i'm only lvl 51. I finally got a !!! (didn't know the time window, it's not displayed on ff14angler), but it failed to catch it. And just now looking a bit more about it, i saw on the wiki i'm way below the requirement of 314+ Gathering :x. Why Patience isn't good btw, Zalera can't be big or something?

@@Harest Patience doesn't impact the chance of Big Fish (which Zalera is classified as) biting, some people still use it even though they don't need to. Also! The Gathering needed is 290+ -- the game should tell you that your gathering is too low whenever you attempt to catch it.

@@FruitySnacks Sorry, i play in french maybe "Big" wasn't the right term there, according to the wiki you call it "large-sized". But i see what you mean, it doesn't help, but it doesn't diminish your chance either, it's just wasted GP. I was a bit tired already during my session, so i checked where the game logs were, and tried to find what you said, and you're right! I just saw a line: "Vous n'avez pas assez de collecte pour pêcher cette prise" (en: you don't have enough Gathering to fish that catch.). Thanks for the answer. Fairly new to the game so i've a lot to learn still, fishing is my highest job atm, and well, not enough apparently ahah. That Mog event isn't the most beginner friendly one, but everything is obtainable elsewhere for what i saw, so that's fine. Else i guess i'd just be squatting the Gold Saucer. Edit: I forgot i wanted to ask, but do you have a site which compile in a practical way all the useful info for fishing? It's unfortunate that ff14angler doesn't have the requisites here (Gathering stat + time window). I liked the fact you could switch language, and most importantly, the baits info with the fishing rate of a certain fish. Zalera being indicated at 5.23%.

@@Harest Teamcraft Guides has some stuff, and I have a multi-volumn "book" here: afishersguidetoeorzea.carrd.co/ ... but they are all in English. I don't know of any translated resources. I'm planning to do some more fundamental - type guide videos around the turn of the year, but don't have much more beyond that atm. The Fishcord might be able to help more by being a place you can ask questions.

@@zazikikomo7796 no, no, no. We don't think that here. Anyone who gets Final Fish at any point always earned it. Every title is well earned, regardless of when you get it.

@@zackfair6203 that tracks! With surface slap, Uncond becomes the only bite. It is also slippery as heck.

@@TheKeyblader133 whoa, such a coincident!

Good, good. Excellent.

Nope! This is a net-new guide. I've typically not done the straight-catch ARR fish (at least pre DT) like this because they really aren't too hard to suss out. This guy only got a guide because they appeared in the mogtomes this week!

@@ducktruck40 no judgement!

Friend and I walked into an aquarium near us one day and I saw a Tasselled Wobbagong and he was like "Is that one of your Fourteen Fish?" (he also plays, but does not fish) I was like, no, it's real. The look on his face when the plaque showed TASSELLED WOBBAGONG...

@@thew00dsman79 someone was pointing that out in chat and I missed it during that segment. Ive not seen tremors, so missed that reference!

@@FruitySnacks fantastic film, sequels are hit or miss, but the first one is a great monster movie for its time Edit: but if you actually look up the monster designs I find it’s pretty clear that that might’ve been the basis of the fish

There's a few that I know of -- are you asking for with 'just a fishing rod' or just in general (like, any apparatus)? If with just a rod, there's 'nymphing' with fly fishing, where you actually tie TWO flows to your line - one is a dry fly (it floats), the other is a much smaller 'nymph' that is tied to hook of the dry fly and usually sinks behind the dry fly by about 18 inches or so. Another is specifically around squidding, where you use a very specific type of hook (that looks terrifying, mind you) and has a bright light on it that attracts the squid. It's only really useful at night, and really only works on squids. Also fun fact - the idea of using a light-based 'lure' is something that is being considered to draw out collossal and giant squids for filming. Effectively the idea is to use a robotic jellyfish that lights up a certain pattern to simulate that it's in distress and draw out the squids. For non rod-based fishing, there's stuff like cast nets that can be used to get live bait. You also get into the 'passive' fishing stuff like Lobster Pots and Trawling, but that's not really something that would work in FFXIV as we currently know it. That's what I know off the top of my head! There is probably more (and probably a bunch that are very region specific) that I'm missing... and as I'm typing this I could see there being more done with Spearfishing, maybe?

@@FruitySnacks Pots and trawling seem like they would at least work well with any kind of "island sanctuary" type content at least.

p.s. How long has "Rest" been in the game? I'm 2 fish short of the Final Fish title and I learned about that ability from this video, lol.

@@C-Lammas Rest was added in Patch 7.0 - so since June 28th, 2024.

@@FruitySnacks Ah, well that's good. I was afraid I've somehow missed it for several expansions. Not the first time I'm missing on an ability that's added retroactively to a lower level.

Ambling is one of those fish that I tell myself I'll do a guide on then just never do for some reason or another. Literally there's always something juuust more important to do. I should hopefully try and fix that soon.

@@FruitySnacks Finally caught this sneaky rat after 10+ windows of suffering! Unfortunately there's no optimal bait, which makes priming mooches a nightmare. I tried dessert frogs, jerked ovim, versatile lures and metal spinners, but dustfish, crabs and geckos are hungry for everything :| I also tried keeping a mental log of the bite times (your cast timer macro was really useful), but there's serious overlap between everything that makes surface slapping risky when you are already crunched for GP and time. With chum, dustfish bite from 5s to 12s, crabs from 10s to 16s and geckos from 7s to 16s+ (extra 2-3s to each without chum). I gave up on slapping and just chum caught everything from 7s onwards praying it was a gecko lol My only real tip is to arrive early, get 10 stacks of anglers and have a big gecko primed for the window. Chum catch everything from 7s onwards while keeping GP up with hi-cordials. Then use mooch 2 first if you get a small gecko, followed by makeshift bait for when mooch 2 is on CD. Only use patience 2 when out of everything else Another "tip" is to turn on collector's glove. 99% of !!! bites will be thorned lizards, so you might as well turn those into scrips for more hi-cordials. Side note: i also didn't do the Crystarium gathering & collectables quests yet, and i haven't seen a single amber monkfish at all. Are monkfish only enabled at the fishing hole afterwards?

In Teamcraft when searching for the specific fishing hole, there should be a bite times section at the bottom, which you can filter per bait to find what you need. However it doesn't filter for time/weather requirement, so you kinda have to know which fish are available during the time you'll be there. Also some data isn't correct, so it will show you fish available for bait where it isn't, particularly for very low percentage. Like White, Firelight and Indigo Prismfish being available as straight catch in Prism Lake when they aren't.

i tried the modest lure method after fruity discussed it in another video and pulled the sound of fury on my first cast and (if memory serves) second lure. i'm sure it's still worth doing, but yes that's something that can happen and yes it's incredibly painful.

@@Adrienne_Quelle this was the first time I have ever made a fisher "rotation" timer and that was wild.

@@ciary congratulations!

@@Gear_Master_ I should have macros in the description!
