A Bit of Everything.

As seen in "Catch of the day" over there on the right I spent yesterday wandering around trying different locations. I started with the shall shells until i lost my lure then I went to go catch my GP fish for the day Gold Lobster. Nice gp's for that 3920 /hurray! Landed a few Breams and Ogres while I was there. Decided to try my hand at Bladefish while I was in the area and pulled up two of them. Those buggers were tough but rewarding .

Since I had lost another expensive lure on the shalls I needed to find something semi-steady to make my skill quota for the day and browsed various guides for ideas. I settled on Red Terrapin and picked the east pond on rollenberry. Caught two stacks before I got bored, not much to see there fishing in a pond the size of a kids wading pool.

The wandering bug bit again so I hit the ferry. Made it a fairly short run compared to most nights so the numbers were not that great. A handful of nobles, cones, bluetails and marlins. The exciting fish to pull up was the Silver Shark. These bastardshave plauged me since I started shooting for a few marlins per day. They show up as a single ! and usualy fight like a damned Legendary up till this one the most I managed to reduce their stamina was 5-10% before timing out or giving up. I also think I fought a titan down 10% before timing out, I could be very wrong but the only other possiblity would have been an extremely large and mean Marlin. I should have kept him but Zaldon was begging to gut another fish so I let him, no item /sigh.

Now that I have my Lu I dont need to focus so hard on the higher profit fish. I have time to mess around, look for new and exciting fishing holes, test my skill on bigger and better fish. It will be nice to have the extra time to fish up my own gp items and not have to worry about wasted time/fatigue. The big profit/skill shall shell's market has dropped a good 40% in the last week and sale rates dived along with it. Time to expand my horizons.

I will continue to liquidate my mules so I can start using a few of them to store fish and synthing materials. I may even try my hand at gardening soon.

I really ought to start crafting again one or two days a week and that brings me back to my woodworking or cooking debate. Then again if I get leather and cloth up a little I can sign my own fishing gear.

With heartfelt disapproval,

Hahaha .... Finaly got around to reading the testimonial from the Lu' quest.

Nice rod btw. It feels a bit odd to use after "growing up" on the Halcyon Rod wich has more of a squishy feel to its stamina bar, The Lu seems far less forgiving to any misdirection of the D-Pad. Took it out for a test drive yesterday shooting for marlins. Turned out to be a crap day to fish I failed to catch many bluetails for bait good thing we had a party of us so I could trade Nobles to Shani for Bluetails. Seemed to be a crap day for me on the Marlins too, not much time invested but only got three out of two full trips. Boat was packed most of the night, lots of fishermen and lots of Horror Bait and a good deal of Horror Bait fishermen. Makes you wonder sometimes why people bother fishing sardines and quus on the boat rather than sitting on the dock in saftey with no down time from turn-arounds. One guy did however say he wanted to not only see the horror and pirates but asked to be killed by the horror before anyone claimed it. Many pirate pops but no BB.

O.o also I was contacted by someone who actualy reads my blog!! Now I know how Ski felt lol. Taitai's tales of a taru

Had another offer on the Kris, the guy wanted to trade a Kirins Osode for the Kris+Gil. Intresting offer but no deal. Hell the odsode seems to be popping up in bazzars all over, lowest I found it was 25mil.

Nuff Said.

Big day yesterday.

Shani got her Seawolf Cudgel.



Well lazy day for me, fished a good portion of it not really aiming for anything. I did a bit of shall fishing, hit the boat for GP item fish, hit the boat again for Marlins, with ocasional bounces to go buy moats from various AH's. Also got fishing to 42.

Our buyer for the kris backed out so its back to bazzar and the jeuno /sh runs. Would be nice to see that thing gone soon, the gil I "almost" have is burning a hole in my pocket^^.

So very very close to obtaining my Lu, probably tonight or tomorrow. Time to plan my route to the E Rod ...
