| Re: Fishing question I'm still not convinced about places being "overfished". But there's definitely increases and decreases in spawn rate. And it can be different for different fish. Moon phase and time just seem to enhance or diminish the spawn rate. One thing I've noticed is the Black Sole bite rate picks up a bit after Vana'diel sunset. Spawn rate is like the weather. If you're unhappy with it just wait a little while.
As far as I know you can't be too high level for a fish...
A weird exception though...
Once I hit ~58 level fishing - if I fish in Windy for moats during a Full or New Moon using my Lu Shang's Rod I *cannot* catch any Crayfish. (I always use Little Worms.) I catch only Moats, Golds, and the rare item. I see other people catching Crayfish so I know they're still spawning. Am I immune to the "junk fish"?
One of these days I'll test to see if that's true in other Crayfish areas. |
