anything better than moats?

[Deltran]

Moats arnt that good on the ah for the fact that the ah is offten flooded with them (atleast on my sever) cant wait till i can move onto nebs

I thought Moat Carps capped @14?

Unless this was changed in a patch, the cap is definitely 11. I fished enough of these buggers (way back when, that is) to know this for sure.

Dunno what it is on other servers, but Black Sole is now 80K a stack and sushi is 100K a stack.

I'm new to ffxi and picked up fishing. As being a level 15 whm its the only craft I can do with little money and make some at the same time. Someone told me not to fish its the worst profit in the game. What should I do? I like to fish but I don't wanna waste time?

[Murphie]

Fishing is steady profit, which is (to me) better than the uncertain profit of other ventures. If you like fishing, and you have been doing well with it, I see little reason not to continue.

At low lvls, I found fishing to be the only way to make decent money. A stack of Moat Carp sells for around 9-10k and if you're lucky and pull up a rusty subligar, those sell for about the same. I don't know if it's profitable a higher lvls and it probobly isn't but it is one of the best ways to make money early on.

[Krystar]

Ok thanks I will continue then. Can I fish up Moat carp even if they stop yielding skill gains?

[Caspian]

Yes you can fish up any fish, given your are at the right place, with the right bait and have the skill to reel them in.
I actually think moats are still the mainstay of a fisherman's money makers until you get much higher level.

[dumo]

I would just fish moats until you don't need them to make your gil anymore. Well, unless you really enjoy it, then keep on fishing. I don't fish very often these days, too busy trying to lvl or farm, but when I do, I fish moats. Still don't even have it capped yet. They have a cap in the area of 10 I think so it will take you a long time to hit cap unless you fish for skill gaining fish first.
