Category talk:Fishing

I think we need to figure out how to split up fishing gear items (armor, rods, lures, bait, etc) from the fish that are fished up. I would expect to find the fish on the Fishing page, at the bottom like they were recipes. And I would expect to find the rods and armor and bait elsewhere - what happened to the category:Fishing Gear page? I thought that was a good place to put those...or at least have a page that has all the gear/rods/bait listed out. It just seems it would get comfusing eventually to have fish and gear and everything mixed togehter in one big section. Just my thoughts!

Well i don't think fishing really needs 2 categories. The fish themselves will also be categorized as food and materials for the most part. As for rods and bait - i think a chart is sufficient. There are not that many out there and they are not expanded very often. I would prefer we leave it as is.--Gahoo 20:12, 12 Jun 2005 (PDT)

kk, as long as I know where to put things - i'll just take the rods/bait out of the fishing category at least, just leave the fish in there.

Would someone who has experience with the Fish Ranking contest thing link that page in here and maybe add the NPC to this page as well as the Selbina page? --Syeria 00:49, 30 April 2006 (PDT)

I noticed that some fish, on area pages that have fish on them, have their level caps on them. I was wondering if it would be possible to list the rod/bait combos on the fish pages under "Obtained By." --Syeria 04:10, 25 May 2006 (PDT)

I think alot of the fish do have that... maybe I'm wrong, lemme check Moat Carp --Chrisjander 07:20, 25 May 2006 (PDT)

Yup, moat carp has all the fishing details on it. And I know alot of other fish have that info on there too. --Chrisjander 07:20, 25 May 2006 (PDT)

Some do and some don't. You can search easily from the Fish page. It would be a good project for a fisherman to undertake. --Gahoo 07:24, 25 May 2006 (PDT)

Guess I should have checked more than 2 fish pages before posting then. >< Well it would be nice for someone who knows to do. --Syeria 11:48, 25 May 2006 (PDT)

New Guildmaster?
The NPC listed for Fishing Guildmaster seems to have changed, the npc Thubu Parohren now gives Fishing Rank and and tells you items to turn in for advancement. --Jhes 07:53, 31 October 2006 (EST)

Doesn't it count as both synthetic and wooden? I gather this from the description given by SE when they changed the fishing system. Tahngarthor 18:44, 6 January 2007 (EST)

Fish Chart
Anyone mind if I start a fishing chart similar to the recipie charts on the other craft pages?

Obviously, it's not going to be exactly the same, but it'll serve the same purpose; it'll list all the fish, their skill level, and how to catch them. Here's an example of what I'm thinking (may need some tweeking):

FFXIclopedia seems to be lacking in the fishing department (there isn't even a fishing table on half the fish pages), so I think this will help a bit. ~ Karuberu 19:16, 11 January 2007 (EST)

I would love to see a list like that for the fish. I've been wanting to update info on them here, but there's no solid layout here for me to update; so I just try to contribute at Kida's site instead. But while I would love to see something here, I'm guessing the page would become an ungodly monster in terms of length, because of how long the lists of locations and rods can become for some fish and junk. Furthermore, some rods may get line snaps on items/fish (fishing skill may or may not have a factor in this) even if they manage to avoid rod breaks.

I'd offer suggestions on how a fish table here could work, but I haven't been able to think of any. --Lunarcurtain 17:02, 30 January 2007 (EST)


 * What about using the [[image:eks.gif]] and [[image:check.gif]] in a separate column to indicate a possible break? Or maybe something like [[Image:Exclamation.gif]] (but not this one since it should be reserved for verification) to indicate a possible break. Also, might consider using a template for each fish/row. --Gahoo 17:31, 30 January 2007 (EST)
