Paired down guide with specific locations and information to get fishing skill off to the races quickly. See [[:Category:Fishing|the fishing category]] for the full story.

==Gear==
Basic fishing gear is suggested to make your life easier. [[Fisherman's Tunica]], [[Fisherman's Gloves]], [[Fisherman's Hose]] and [[Fisherman's Boots]] are dirt cheap to obtain, even less if you craft them. For some places it can mean the difference between no nibbles and nailing it. [[Lu Shang's Fishing Rod]] is not a requirement, but does make life easier. If you want to skill/catch into it instead of buying it, grab a [[Halcyon Rod]] instead, as this will deal with most fish easily until then.

==Fish==
===0-11===

You're likely to catch a lot of these anyway. The mog garden will keep you peaceful, will never fish up items, and give easy access to your mog house.

Your first hurdle. Halcyon isn't the best choice here, but you'll still consistently pick these up. Try to get as close to fishing 15 as you may never have these bite without it. Skip the ferry.

Again, Halcyon isn't the best option here, but you are in town again to keep you safe.

Saying in Nashmau, you are now presented with your first hurdle to not having Lu Shang's. Between line snaps and breaks, before attempting this, it is suggested going through to finally get all your moat carp together. It is suggested also trying Talacaa Cove, as this will give you a few shots at Dil (see below).

===90-Onward===
From here, you got options.

Back to Nashmau. Biterate isn't great, but it won't break your rod if you have Lu Shang's by now.

{{Fishing Table 2
|Fishing Row 2=
<onlyinclude>
{{Fishing Row 2
|Fish Name=Dil

|Fish Size=small
|Salt or Fresh=salt

*[[Halcyon Rod]] {{Rod Icon|Snap}}
|May Break Rod=

*[[Shrimp Lure]]

}}

An option as mentioned before. Going specific for them will require a bait change.

The first Lu Shang's specific item and it can break the rod. You will also need decent woodworking skill (capped of 70 recommended) to fix the rod in the field.

{{Fishing Table 2
|Fishing Row 2=
<onlyinclude>{{Fishing Row 2
|Fish Name=Armored Pisces

|Skill Cap=108
|Fish Size=large
|Salt or Fresh=fresh

*'''[[Lu Shang's Fishing Rod +1]]'''
*'''[[Ebisu Fishing Rod]]'''
*'''[[Ebisu Fishing Rod +1]]'''
|May Break Rod=
*[[Halcyon Rod]]
|Bait=
*'''[[Frog Lure]]'''
*[[Sinking Minnow]]
}}</onlyinclude>
}}

Won't break the good rods, bite rate seems to be equal or possibly better than Cave Cherax.

If you managed to get an Ebisu since starting, you can use these two as options.
