I tried following both Val's and Soli fishing guides here on the forums. Currently level 12 fishing.

Followed Val's, went to bastok mines, tried Halcyon + Fly and Comp + Fly lure. was averaging like 30-40 no catch in a row, with a copper ring in between.

Tried Soli's guide, went to Gusgen mines, tried clothespole + fly. Caught 2 stacks of copper frogs. No skill ups. That took over an hour.

Friend told me he stayed in port sandy till 13 using comp + sinking for giant catfish.

Stayed here for about 3 hours, got from lvl 11-12.1.

What else can I try? Cause 1 lvl per 3 hours aint gonna fly.

And every time I get a no catch i move spots, I tried logging out multiple times, I tried zoning multiple times. I move far too not like 2ft... idk wtf is happening

port windy, comp rod, sabiki rig, quu's cap at 19

Thank you, I'll give this a shot tomorrow.

Friend told me to do Selbina. Comp + minnow for greedies, got from 12-13 in about 30-40mins. But that caps at 14.

Thank you, this is 100x better than anything anyone else suggested. I got .7 skillups in like 30mins. SIGNIFICANT improvement.

I put a good 6 hours and like 30k into fishing trying different poles and lure setups and going places people suggested. All for jack shit, about 1 level up total.

Already .7 within 30mins maybe less.

np, feel free to ask about anything else when you run into issues

I hit 20 fishing today, where would you recommend? I'm gonna try following Val's fishing guide again and try Bastok Market with Comp + Frog lure.

Should have followed my guide. It's the second oldest fishing guide on Nasomi, and, honestly, the greatest. It's your fault for not searching.

When you make an update I'll recommend your guide, you make more gil 36-56 in Windy woods on Gold carp and better catch rate, isolated.
Your spot for 56-66 is garbo, Dragons Avery is way better catch rate for crescents and is isolated, with an abundance of mythril swords.
Sorry your ego is hurt.

The dragon's aery location had been in the guide since the second edit, over three years ago. Read harder.
