I know it’s on the Selbina ship. I really want to fish for nebimonites. What lvl should I get before I fish on the ship? Any advice fishing for them and staying safe?
Generally the fish skill levels on Nas are the same as retail. FFXIcyclopedia says that the skill cap for Nebimonite is 27 and you can usually catch fish with a skill as low as 20 levels below the cap, which means that by level 7 you can catch them and I'd probably say that by level 9-10 you can catch them reliably. Use a composite rod, on Nas it's good for virtually everything (maybe except legendary fish).
The ship is buggy on Nas, which can be lethal - Some times mobs that should only appear on the ship deck (either pirates or fished up) appear below deck and/or can see and aggro through the deck, which means that until the bugs are fixed you can't just hide below deck if there's trouble. Another serious bug is that sometimes there are two "instances" of the ship, one with pirates and one without, with players being randomly split between them, which also means that you can't board as a party and assume you're safe because there's a chance that some of you will get separate from the others.
Worst case scenario (albeit chances are small) - You get separated from everyone else due to the bug, ending as the sole player on the ship with pirates
and you're unlucky enough to get not only the regular pirates but also the NM
and due to the second bug it spawns below deck or aggros you through the deck, you'll end-up dead even at level 70. With that being said, if you board with other high level players the chances of all of these things happening at once is small and around level 50 all mobs
except the NM will be TW and won't aggro anyway so you can just ignore them and fish. Last time I ran into pirates I was RDM45 and still got aggro but only from a single Ship Wight (Crossbones did not aggro) and it was easily soloable.
With that being said the only way to be truly risk free is switch to a level 1 job before boarding (there are Nomad Moogles in both Selbina and Mhaura) so you don't have any exp to lose if you die. I'd say that chances of having any mobs on board are around 25%, usually the ride will be monster-free (except for fished-up mobs, which only aggro whoever fished them up).
Don't fish-up monsters on board the ship - You should be able to handle them around level ~35ish but it'll take you longer than the 30 seconds it takes for the fishing minigame to time out.
Good luck.
