See above. If you've even thought about considering fishing as a source of income, take it upon yourself to get 2.3 million or so to get this rod. Hunt some NM's, train a billion Giddeus mobs, steal it from your little Taru granny who only takes the chocobo out once a week for leisure...

Get. This. Rod.

I'm only Fishing skill 28, and I spent about 2 weeks earning the rod. My first cast in Port Jeuno? A Black Sole and a .2 skillup.

Black Soles cap at 96. They sell for 2k apiece. And I've been pulling up nearly a stack an hour in the Port, plus other random fish to pad the bankroll even more.

If you think fishing is 'boring,' get a better LS. Or watch TV. Or bot - hell, I don't care. It's your account, you take the risk. There's a reason you see so many JP's fishing of the Saruta cliffs - it makes money, it makes money quickly and painlessly. The best part? I never have to ever ever EVER camp a NM again, aside from EX drops.
 
You make a persuasive argument.
 
Black soles have a pretty fickle bite rate, from what I've read. I've gotten skillups in Port Jeuno using just a composite.

That said though, I am totally lusting after Lu Shang's, and it is supposed to make fishing better ^^ (well, the rod and testimonial...)
 
I had one, but I threw it out because I thought it looked kinda stupid.

That's our Keits!
 
Agreed. Fishing got me through Erase, it's getting me through Dark Staff and Light Staff... it's all good. 1000/10000 Moat Carp so far...
 
yeah, i think i'll get one... someday. but i know for sure that i'll be catching all my own carp, because buying them will bankrupt me, and if i ever have that much gil, it will go to god equips, not a fishing rod.
 
man i wanted this rod i sat there with enough cash to buy one for about 2 weeks, they just arent for sale enough :(
 
Just take the time to either fish up moat carp, or just trade the 10k moat carp to the brother in Port San d'Oria. I heard that if you go buy the carp, you're only losing around 10k gil to get a rod worth a few million. Although, I heard this a while ago, and prices have probably changed.
 
Well, im really impatient so I didnt feel like doing the carp thing, the way the math worked when I did it was if you bought the carp it only costs about 1.5 mil since you get gil for trading it back.

The problem with just buying the carp is there isnt enough supply, you could maybe turn in 20-30 stacks a day with constant attention to the AH. Then after a month you might finally get that 830 something stacks done :p Might as well fish for the carp yourself.

So I figured I would just buy the damn rod since it would only take 3 seconds if i saw in stock :)
 
/em counts how many fish she owes Anesly.


Hmm, 90 fish to pay off that loan? I hope that's helpful towards your lu shangs.

/em wanders off to fish.

Oh, and personaly...Lu Shang, meh.

I'd rather not go through the trouble of catching 10k/833.33 stacks of fish.

Every fish helps ^^. Sometimes my LS members give me a couple of extra moats they have no use for, and I'm like, *happy dance*OMGILOVEYOUFOREVER!!!!!111. Which really is kind of sad =P
