Thanks a lot for all your replies. There are some very helpful suggestions here, which I will definitely take into consideration. I changed to a hume fishing rod, which I'm now finding to be a little more easier on depleting the bar at the bottom of the screen. Though it's still not 100 % easier, but I'm finding it more so than the comp rod at least, which is good. a little more better for me. I'm thinking of trying out the mithran rod too when can I get to a AH that sells one.

I rather like Jei's advice on placing buckets in your mog house too, to help on item catch rate, (aswell as furnishing) since I DID get a few times when it told me that I didn't catch anything. But unfortunately, right now, my mog house is just about ready to spill over the brim, it's so full up with stuff. *sigh!* I could only just about manage to fit 3 in there. I cannot find much of a way to get round this right now, but when I get my next level of fame and can afford the furniture (the bed) to go in there, I should have a bit more room then.

But now I'm having another problem, and I don't understand why it's happening to me. (or in this case... "NOT" happening, as I will just explain!)

The NPC to trade the buckets to, is "Foss" in Bastok Markets, right? (he stands very near the massive fountain, not very far from the AH) Well just now, in my attempt to trade one to him, he won't take them for some reason, and I don't undertand why!

And it's not that I'm trying to trade more than one either, cause I know that he takes just one at a time.

I read somewhere that this quest is one of those..... zone out, and back in again types between every trade. (just like the Bastore Sardine one in Port Windurst. Is there one like this in Sandy too? I haven't checked that one as yet) So I thought that might be what my problem was. I had already zoned in/out of the areas surrounding the inner city itself, and when that didn't work, I tried zoning completely out of the city to South Gustaberg and back.

Well what D'ya know?..... That didn't work either!

Does anyone know what my problem is with "Foss" here please?

Also, I've been collecting a few zeruhn soot in the mines, (trade 3 each to NPC in Bastok Mines) so that's my other idea I plan on doing.
