@Loch Skill-ups are random and unfortunately you're getting unlucky. Those "You lost your catch" messages are likely Moat Carp and you pretty much just have to tough it out for a few hours until you get to skill level 5-6. If you're completely out of gil, perhaps follow the first part of the guide a bit more closely and kill some crabs for meat to NPC, or do the easily repeatable quests in sandy for Bat Wings and Rabbit skins.
Thanks. I was mostly asking to find out if I was doing fishing wrong: i.e. fishing in the wrong place or if I needed to trek down to Selbina and register with the guild of something.
I've not yet found Ronfarue crabs so I've been focusing on rabbits, orcs, goblins, and bats (I got within sprinting distance of the gravestone for SanD'oria 1-2 last night before a triple gobbie link brought my Whm8/- self low. I'll be heading back to try again later on.
I'm not completely out of gil, I have around 500 on my person and some more potential in sales on the AH. I'm eager to get my subjob and want to have okay level 10-12 gear when I head to the dunes to relearn how parties work. I'm not sure what I'm taking to the dunes for my first job. I started on retail as a MNK and have a strong nostalgia for them, but i remember the slog of finding parties. I've been grabbing flint and batwings whenever I can and will keep doing that.
Thanks for the reply. Now that I know its been bum luck so far I'll keep trying. Eventually I'll hit a string of luck. Its like my healing magic skill, I don't think I saw my first skill up from healing until level 6 but now they're coming regularly (My staff skill isn't capped either and I haven't seen a skill up for days).
Well.. Yes. You do need to join the guild, and it's in Windy. Selbina is the best place to do lvl's 1-5, that I've found though.
