Ocean Fishing in Final Fantasy XIV offers a unique and rewarding experience for anglers. This Ff14 Fisher Guide will provide you with the essential strategies to maximize your score and reel in fantastic rewards, including the coveted Hybodus Mount. By understanding the mechanics and utilizing the right tools, you can significantly enhance your Ocean Fishing expeditions.
To start your journey towards becoming an expert Ocean Fisher, consuming Yakow Moussaka HQ is highly recommended. This food provides a valuable GP boost, allowing you to begin with over 950 GP, giving you a significant advantage from the outset.
A crucial tool for any serious Ocean Fisher is Lulu’s Ocean Fishing Tracker. This real-time tracker provides vital information about each voyage, including recommended bait and Fishing Objectives. Knowing the Location, Bait, and Weather conditions is paramount for targeting specific fish. Utilize the tracker’s high-value fish filter to pinpoint the optimal bait for catching the most rewarding fish along your route. Fish highlighted with a green background are your primary targets during Spectral Currents.
Strategies for Spectral Currents
Effectively managing your GP and Angler’s Art stacks is key to maximizing your points, especially during Spectral Currents.
First Area Spectral Current Tactics
Outside of Spectral Currents, focus on conserving GP and building stacks of Angler’s Art. Employ Prize Catch when your GP is full to accumulate these stacks. This will enable powerful combos starting with 950+ GP, utilizing Thaliak’s Favor to replenish GP during Spectral Currents.
If a Spectral Current occurs in the first area, avoid using Thaliak’s Favor immediately. Instead, continue to build Angler’s Art stacks, aiming for 6 to 9 stacks in preparation for subsequent Spectral Currents.
During the first area’s Spectral Current, execute the following combo when a high-value fish appears on the tracker: Prize Catch -> Identical Cast -> Double Hook -> Cordial HQ -> Double Hook. This sequence provides a substantial burst of points.
Second and Third Area Spectral Current Domination
In areas two and three, continue to conserve Angler’s Art outside of Spectral Currents. Use Prize Catch or blindly use Double Hook if you have reached 9 stacks of Angler’s Art and have full GP.
During Spectral Currents in the second and third areas, ensure you have 950+ GP and 6-9 Angler’s Art stacks. When a high-value fish is indicated by the Tracker, unleash this potent combo: Prize Catch -> Prize Catch -> Double Hook.
By consistently applying these strategies across a few Spectral Current runs, reaching the 10,000 point threshold and acquiring the Hybodus Mount should be well within your grasp. With practice and effective utilization of these resources and techniques, you’ll be well on your way to mastering Ocean Fishing.
