Fishing Skill @ 20.1

Really wanted to hit 21 but I choose to sleep ^^.

Started on the ferry shooting for nebs the bite rate was far to random still to bother I think I managed 3-4 catches per trip for a total of 30 nebs =50k gil ^^

Switched it up to skilling on tricoloreds, dark bass and gold carp in jugnar forrest for the remainder. SE's random fishing script was on virtual crack last night I imagine as I ran into a steady streak of gold carp ( a nice 300+ gil to npc) that I have never seen before. I wont bitch tho since I got some skill ups and left early after 5 stacks or so of paste.

So I started my fishing career selling my cure clogs for a nifty 1.4 mil or so thinking I would use this as survival money for a long long time. Last night after getting my 100th /tell for raise/cure/etc.. fishing ANON from people I DO NOT KNOW I gave up and bought a scythe for my blm to wear while fishing and wandering about, now I'm down 180k.
I had heard that "The Big One" gave a speacial moghancement fishing that boosted skill instead of items so I swung by the AH and snagged one, now down another 500k.

"The Tale of Xylos and The Big One"

Fuck TBO.
I ran to bastok to hang my stuffed fish.
Recently I had juggled my furniture to avoid the "bad" moghancement fishing and had my mh energy swaying on the line between light and water.
I hang the fish see "Moghancement Fishing" check my key items and see ... increases odds of fishing up items" or w/e.
Fuck me. 500k to get more rusty buckets ...
So I sent it to a mule and he gets "Increases fishing skill"
Now i'm between a rock and a hard place. Problem 1: my storage is at 80 and 75 of that being rare/ex I cant off load to a mule or in my case mules are packed I would have to create a new mule. Problem 2: my storage, safe and locker are full. Solution: Dump 10 coffer keys, r/ex items for quest I have been saving for years, stock piles of crystals, and so on .. I did this bit by bit always getting the same "items" version as I went. Prior to this disaster I had only cabinets and mannequins for storage.

Whew now I'm 0/0 storage and feeling a bit sick from tossing out those items time to hang TBO.

Moghancement Fishing. I check key item ... /huzzah "skill"
Add cabinet (4 to water)
Check key item .... "items" #$@#%@#@#%@#%@#%!!!!!!!!!
First thought is any water added will throw off the type of moghancement and that means .... 1/1 storage a.k.a. I'm now effectively fucked for storage forever if I want that tiny bit of skill.

I just tossed out 40 or so not so easy to replace rare/ex items to find out I have a choice between storage and +1-3 fishing skill ><><><

Add a few mannequins back: Skill and still at powerful energy!!!!

So a few hours of dicking around and tragic loss of many good rare/ex tidbits later I'm back to 60 or so storage.

Fishing isnt expensive my ass.
