Ebisu +1 Quest/Info

So I wanted to get the red lightsaber ASAP when servers came up... fished up 100 fish and found myself knees deep in a new quest.

After catching 100 different types of fish and talking to Irmilant, you'll flag a quest in which you need to find 5 fish: Dragon's Tabernacle, Quicksilver blade, Matsya, Phantom Serpent, and Lord of Ulbuka. I tried buying a Matsya and trading it to him but didn't get any response, so I suspect they must be fished up personally.

Once the quest is flagged Irmilant gives some vague hints to the locations for the fish. Here's info on the 5 fish:

Judging from the hints given by NPC's and in the Version Update notes on the OF, here's my bit of speculation on where to find these legendaries.

Dragon's Tabernacle: Cape Terrigan

Quicksilver Blade: Silver Sea Route

Phantom Serpent: Abyssea - Misereaux

Lord of Ulbuka: Cirdas Caverns/Moh Gates/Dho Gates (?)

Frankly, I'm not certain which of these 3 zones that LoU is in, or if it's all 3.

As for gutting the -ryu's, I can only speculate that the livers can be fashioned into bait either via cooking or synergy... or perhaps into the new BST jugs, like what they did with Abaia stuff in the past. I wouldn't quote me on that, however... (unless it turns out I'm right after all!)

Updated OP with new info! Lord info still pending

Cirdas Caverns: Lord of Ulbuka bite on Rotten meat / Dwarf Pugils..... unable to reel in with capped skill and gear not sure what i am missing.

from bg forums

"Ok, so for Lord of Ulbuka, there is a puzzle you have to solve to catch him! He is physically uncatchable until you solve it.

SE gave us the clues to do it, but I won't spoil it.

SE worked SUPER hard on this quest and I have to respect what a sweet victory beating it is gonna be. I just have phantom serpent left, and I have bait made for him already.

I will wait until monday to post spoilers on how to finish the quest.

I urge any fishers here, for the integrity of what a challenge ebisu+1 is, to wait before spoiling how to catch lord of ulbuka

All I can say is good job SE for thinking outside the box. The only reason I figured the trick out on how to catch this fish was discussing things with a JP who had managed to land it, and we figured out what was different between him and me.

All Ill say is this: The other fisher who could catch the lord had only 102+5skill, I have 105+10 skill and couldnt land it until I did the trick.

Super neat, and really clever. Once you solve it you'll be like "aw damn, cool"

Good luck everyone! "

Updated with lord info (thanks to Urat via BG)

couldn't care less about making my ebisu glow unless it's like, relevant again. Is there a reason to catch these fish beyond this quest?

Its hard to tell, but Im pretty certain it gives buff like moglification; lowers time it takes to get fishing message.

Went down from 8-10 seconds for fishing message when casting, to 6-7 seconds with both ebisu+1 and mega moglification.

Im expecting it to have lower line snap rate.

Edit: I just caught 6 matsyas in a row without a single line snap. This is awesome.

Oh hey, looks like I was right about the livers after all!

Do you know if you need to have mooching to hook the Phantom Serpent? (Though since they're just livers, it wouldn't really make sense since the KI mentions live bait...)

Yep you were right! I didn't have mooching and got them just fine :)

Reading the hints, the Quicksilver Blade needs to be caught during foggy weather.

Any advice to catch Matsya?
I got hard time to reel them... can't get the fatigue to 0.
I don't have albatross ring... would it help?

edit : ce soir avant l'event si t'as smn 20 jte pop un pirate chart, j'ai encore 11 rings et un pirate chart qui traine, ca devrait aller

I caught the quicksilver by chance when fishing up my 100 different species.

Leona, do you have mooching (KI)? That allows a little extra time if I remember correctly. When I started fishing Matsya around 100, I used a penguin and albatross ring.

I did it with Penguin + Duck ring. Without mooching. Was easy for both Matsya + Lord this way. Lord broke my line a lot though

Any Clues on how to get the Ancient Carp landed, I have hooked plenty by can't seem to get them much below half hp before losing them.

The < << >> > fade almost as they appear giving no chance to wear them down.



Anyone found any tricks ?

I ended up using my Albatross and duck ring. It seems to pull to the same side for 2-3 times in a row. Glad I only have to catch one because I think it was just luck.

i have mooching yeah

Need help or advice on lord. I just got ebisu today, fished the 4 pre. today, and have landed over 20 Lords so far. Most are line breaks, fine, but three have said lack of skill. What else, if anything, should I do? I have 110 skill, 7 gear, 5 house, and adv support. Duck/penguin or albatross/penguin.

anyone know where or how catch Bibiki Urchin?
im having problems with this one, just doesnt bite, i did check wiki for info but look like it isnt enough

Hello Guys

I'm trying to get my Ebisu fishing rod +1 but im haveing a couple problems with some fishes, if anyone can tell me where to fish them i will aprecaite alot please

Bibiki Urchin - i tried with wiki imfo but i cant get this one, anyone knoe specific place or bait where fish it?

Ulbukan Lobster - no info but someone told me Foret just not where or bait, anyone know?

Frigorfish no info, nothinh, Help

Thysanopeltis no info just can read Senroh Sea

PLEASE HELP

http://ffxiclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Bibiki_Urchin


Can purchase it from an NPC, but not sure if actually need to catch it.

Bibiki Urchin from Bibiki Bay - Purgonorgo Isle Sinking Minnow? (never did catch it, but found that info)

Ulbukan lobster - Foret de Hennetiel (Zoldeff River) use Little Worm

Frigorifish - Kamihr Drifts (J-8) use Little Worm

Thysanopeltis - Sih Gates map 2 - Shrimp Lure

Good luck

edit: also, you dont need to catch Bibiki, nor all of the fishes for that matter, just 100 of any from that list for the quest.

From my experience of Bibiki Urchin, its a very low bite rate. So you just have to keep trying. If you are like me and wanted to catch all the fish, it will just take time to catch some of these.

Awesome thanks



what does mean this.... so i can catch 100 hakus for example and get this part of quest done instead of fishing 100 diferents fishes?

no no, what I meant is, there are over 100 different fishes on the list for you to pick from for the quest. If you're having trouble with one or a few, just skip them and catch something else.

been at this for 5 hours now and no bite from Bibiki Urchin with sink or robber rig >.>

Anyone here know how to catch the Dragonfish?

According to ffxiclopedia, the location is, "Foret de Hennetiel (J-11) (Secret beach)", using one of the following baits:

• Little Worm

• Insect Ball

• Worm Lure

• Robber Rig

Here is where I'm at on the map, and I've tried all four baits.



I've spent quite a few hours here with no bite from one of these guys.

Anyone have success with the above setup? If a different setup, can you please enlighten?

Thank you,
