hi guys,
so i haven't fished in a very long time, when i saw the cap was increased to 110 i figured i'd get another pelican ring before going for it, now that i have it i'm wondering... where to skill up ?

I have a lu shang (no woodworking as i have cooking leveled too), and i never used a bot in my fishing career. I play on pc of course so fishing for stuff like gugru or even liks are hellish...

Anyone knows any good fish not too hard to reel and that won't break the lu shang too much ?

Thanks for any advice !

A lot of the fish people thought capped at 100 actually cap higher. I don't know what cave cherax cap at but I'm sure they are over 100 as well.

I'm sure they adjusted the fishing caps for the update, it's pretty easy to pinpoint the exact level a fish is even if you can't reach the level.

If you're 25 levels below the fish's level then the stamina auto-regens. From 24 levels below the fish's level to 12 levels above the fish's level the stamina is stagnate. If your level is 13 levels above the fish's level or more then the stamina auto-depletes.

Ebisu has hidden skill which throws this off a bit, which is why people say that Ebisu has a hidden +46 fishing skill. This probably was added in the fishing update of July 2009 or may have been from the start.

It wouldn't be crazy for SE to adjust any fish with a cap of 100-105 and make them higher for this adjustment.

So far this is what I, and some other people on BG have found

Pelazoea cap at 106
Armored pisces cap at 108
Cave cherax seem to cap at 110 or higher (for the life of me I cant get a skill on them though)
Abaia cap at 109 or 110
ryugu titans, liks, gugrusaurus, crocs above 110, though crocs are weird and very hard to skill on.

Takitaro seem to cap at 100

fish not yet tested (that I know of)
tricorn
sea zombie
mola mola
kalkanbaligi
giant chirai
gerrothorax
titanic sawfish


I'll get around to testing some of these, but I will probably disregard sea zombie, sawfish, and tricorn.


Edit - gerrothorax bite rate is kinda crummy, I dont think I would try to level off them.

Edit 2 - due to lakerda, mola mola and kalks arent really an option either.

I believe i can safely assume that Armored Pisces cap out at 106 or 106.9. Once I got to 106.9 I was able to catch 600+ and not get a single skill up. Not sure on since I was unable to attain a skill up at 106.9, if anybody else has any input on other fish aside from Hakuryu to get to 110 please let me know I am interested while I can still manually try to test out these last few levels.

i am positive they cap at at least 108. I skilled up 107>108 getting .1 every time. I stopped after 108.

While we're on the topic, is anyone else having no luck landing a Tiger Shark? I've tried Sliced Carp, Minnow and Sinking Minnow and have been at it for a combined 5 hours and haven't had a single bite.

Edit: Apologies for the bump but it was only 5 or so topics down the list ><

They changed it, you MUST have the 'Angler's Almanack' key item to fish them up now.

Skill ups don't come as fast as most other skills, that goes without saying. I got from 100-106 in two weeks fishing blue crab...i was catching maybe 100~120/day. If all fails, KCCO!

I capped 110 on Cave Cherax from something like 90, generally getting around 1.5 skill per day fishing to cap (with Ebisu) on them. I made this doubly useful turning them in for dwarf pugils so I could get Matsya once I capped and got Mooching.

Fishing's slow, there's not much you can do about it.

If you really made it to 100 yourself then you should already understand that it's very slow :P

You need to buy the KI Angler's Almanac for 20k GP and then turn in a tiger shark.

Doesn't matter where you get it from, you just need the KI to be able to break the limit. You also can't catch Tiger Shark until you get the KI, so may as well go to the NPC with one in your inventory to save you the trip.

Once you do have the KI though, Tiger Sharks bite like crazy. Gets annoying when you try to isolate Gugru Tuna for guild points, all you get are Shark bites.
