They aren't meant to be easy. It was the first fish I went after (after gutting lame fish to get the bait) after getting ebisu, and I only walked away with 1 matsya caught. I was ready for them to be annoying. But didn't think they were gonna be this annoying, lol. ><

It was meant to be the most difficult fish to catch, the true challenge after getting ebisu. I waited so long to try to fish Matsya and was so excited once I got my ebisu to do it.
I still have it, and haven't attempted to fish another since xD

So I'm a fairly new Fisherman and have started working on my GP. I've noticed that many times the pattern listed here has been wrong.
I've never had this problem for any other crafts. Is this just a fishing thing or has something changed?

Also: If you notice there is an inaccuracy then you should submit a report.

I'm not sure how rare getting this cape is from the gutting, but if you spent 16m on fish to get it, is the cape even going to save you that much money if you leveled every craft? lol I'd be waiting until theres some more info on it

ya, for goldsmithing and smithing maybe
honestly to me it seems like an item that will bring in new fishers. which annoys me
my guess is that the cape isnt SUPER rare. gonna suggest its like 3%, so buy 40 fish u prolly got a shot. i was thinking maybe 5% like pirates chart at first, but i figure weda seen a few more up front than the 2 we know of. but 2 on day 1 says its probably not a .5% item like saber shoot/opal silk.

I dont see many people spending 10-20m + months of skilling fishing from 0/getting gp just to try to get matsya for this cape, just buying the fish instead for 500k-1m I would guess
I doubt they understand what a pain in the *** these are to get though

well maybe i shoulda said new ebisu seekers. and there will be. as u can see from post above, gugrusaurus demand is up and supply is down. i have a lu shangs i'm not using and im not selling it for no 5m. I expect demand for lu shangs to rise. you wanna make one for 12m? or buy mine for 9?
i'm prolly wrong, we will see.
how would it cost you 10-20m to skill fishing? i made millions skilling fishing.

Maybe he's referring to Ebisu costs? That's the only way I can see fishing costing 20m
At any rate, you can't judge the usefulness of the cape until you know how much it affects skillups.
Guaranteed skillup every synth? Every 0.1 skillup becomes a 0.2?
I know *plenty* of crafters trying to get from 100-110 that would drop 16m on that, much less people trying to get to 110 from scratch.

Pretty sure its gonna be like a pelican ring for synthing. You have a extra chance at skillup. Inoming screenshot of double .3 goldsmithing skillup.

well, i was kidding. there are no meatballs at the fishing guilds lately because of need for cave cherax, people are buying them all out, and they never had many anyway. it sucks having to farm lv 4 rabbits to make meatballs, which dont HQ. but i didnt think of abyssea as being the place to farm hare meat ;p

Wow, do I need to pay attention more closely. I couldn't figure out what the big deal with the cape was; this is what happens when you confuse the word synthesis w/ synergy for a week. Guess it's time to take the Ebisu off the mannequin...

So today i've caught around 25 gugs total. With Ebisu that puts my catch limit down to 195 left to pull up. Any reason why I can't catch anything at all now? I mean absolutely nothing is taking my bait. No fish. No Monsters. No items. I've zoned multiple times. I've shutdown. I've moved to a different zone to catch a diff fish and still nothing taking the bait. This happen to anyone else before or anyone have any ideas?

No killfish
There are fishing topics that come up now and then but mainly are asking a question for a single answer. I know there are many fishers that visit these forums so this is an attempt to get people involved and have a little fun discussing one and only one thing, fishing!
I know Blue Gartr has a Fishing topic already, but I would like to see this community get involved a little bit and talk, since not everyone visits BG. I would love to have a topic just for fishers including veteran fishers, casual fishers, and even players just starting out and want to ask a few questions without being embarrassed about starting a whole topic for a simple answer they could not find.
I only ask that you keep any bot talk to a minimum, preferably none. [Moderator edit: No bot talk] I want this to be a place where we can discuss anything from GP items of the day to what lure/bait to use or what area is best. A quick mention of how you're doing on the lu shang/ebisu quest, how you're doing getting your fishing items from Grounds of Valor, that item you're saving your GP up for, or how much you wish you could hurt Zaldon for not finding anything in your fish for the 10,000th time. Your lucky moment streaks and the moments when you have nothing come your way and question why you started fishing in the first place. Anything that comes to mind, think of it as the random thoughts thread for fishing.
I will list a few resources that I find to be useful when it comes to fishing: BG Fishing Topic
Great Blue (Amazing Site <3, is out dated since 2008 but an amazing resource regardless)
Final Fishing (Another great resource with one of the most in-depth guides made. Out of date though.)
Fish Size Chart [ GE][ Wikia]
Chenon Diary (The site seems to be down for good though, it was a site made for Fish Ranking)
I shall add more if people provide good resources.
