ocean fishing final fantasy xiv

Ocean fishing in Final Fantasy XIV (FFXIV) is a special type of deep-sea fishing activity introduced in Patch 5.4. It involves boarding a ferry that departs from Limsa Lominsa and sails through various oceanic routes, offering unique fishing opportunities, special rewards, and a fun multiplayer experience. How to Start Ocean Fishing Unlock the Quest: - Accept the quest "All the Fish in the Sea" from Nahrmael in Limsa Lominsa Lower Decks (X:9.6, Y:11.5). - Requires Level 1 Fisher and having completed the level 10 Fisher class quest "My First Fishing Rod." Boarding the Ferry: - After unlocking, speak to Dryskthota at the Limsa Lominsa Lower Decks (X:9.6, Y:11.5) to board the ferry. - Ferries depart every two real-world hours (odd-numbered hours in Eorzea Time). Voyage Duration: - Each trip lasts about 15-20 minutes and visits three different fishing spots (e.g., Northern Strait of Merlthor, Rhotano Sea, etc.).

Tips for Success Use Correct Bait: Different fish require specific bait (check FFXIV fishing guides). Watch for Spectral Currents: Maximize points by fishing during these buffs. Party Play: Ocean fishing is more fun (and sometimes easier) with friends. Notable Rewards Mounts: - Magicked Prism (Flying Chair) 10,000+ points in one trip. - Shark Mount Catch all rare spectral fish. Minions: E.g., Little Leafman, Magic Bucket.
