Recently came back after not playing since 3. Aquariums were brought in not too long ago with a small list of fish that might be worth something still.

Yea the Helmsman's Hand is decent to catch when the weather is up and I sell them for like k-1mil. As an omni-crafter who doesn't have a FSH leveled, I can tell you that I buy up just about anything with 'coral' in its name, NQ and HQ.

And I pay a pretty gil for them too. Well on Balmung I fish up certain big fish and desynth them to access the bikinis in their anuses to sell to roleplayers in Ul'dah, not sure if this is a viable option on other servers.

You can use Desynthesis from Culinarian on certain huge fish and the result will sometimes be Bikinis. Fish gotta eat I guess. You can desynth some big fish like Octomammoth and Gigantshark into the Sea Breeze swimwear.

There are some other swimwear a red set with a hawaiian lei and the raw material for the coeurl bikini. You use culinarian desynth to break them down and get certain items. If you're looking for small but consistent money, don't forget the Fishing Class Quest fish. Lots of people are really lazy. The upgraded fisher gear on the MB is too pricy for me. Trying to fish HQ lvling with some lvl gear. I upgraded my chest finishing the first Heavensward FSH quest thank God. Grinding lvl no levequests just for HQ Icepick.

Eventually got them halfway to 54 since I wanted to do it myself. Lvling gatherer's to 60 is no joke. Dude, if your gear is lvl , go get the nq stuff from the vendor! Sure, it might be for the whole set, but you should be able to make that much back as a gatherer. You might still be able to get away with selling Retribution Staff from Diadem or Pipira Pira, though the market probably isn't as good as it was before the last patch.

I go through Gem Marimos from Diadem like mad though, as they are used in max-ethers for healers' mp I always made decent money selling gloaming coral k ea Still not as good, but somewhat decent.

Always check before spending those hours farming. Learned that the hard way. Absolutely, keep an eye on that MB as prices tend to fluctuate a lot. Remember, you can level your retainer to get stuff too so you don't have to rely on just farming yourself: Pipira pira - Used in a raid food which sells well.

Gem marimo - Caught in diadem HM. Pterodactyl - not much and sells slow but nice when going for gem marimo. Easy to get pretty okay selling but not worth much. Retribution staff - another fish in the diadem also used for a raid food so sells well. Desynth into Materia IVs has been the most profitable for me. Probably best to just look at the fish section for your server's market place and find what is in demand Pipira pira used to be okay, but with the release of priestly omelettes baked pipira pira on steroids their demand has dropped.

Retribution staff is okay, but kind of a pain to fish Might try blue coral as well.

Some like black magefish are low supply. Additionally, cross-reference the marketboard and the guildleves the various fishing guides recommend and sell those in the necessary HQ stacks if the marketboard is empty. You actually can get a lot of pigments, and sometimes can sell some of the crafted dyes at ah.

Generally though it kind of sucks. Diadem would be my recommendation. Retribution staff is great for raid food, gem marimos are used in pots, pterodactyls still sell for a lot for glam and anima, and blue cloud coral still sells well for scrip stuff. Plus you'll fish up spoils, which you can use to grab awesome stuff. The other fish you catch you can try and sell for desynth if you want.

And I'd like to share with you guys. I'm just gonna say it: Stormblood is better than Heavensward No spoilers. This is an archived post. You won't be able to vote or comment.

Pips still do well depending how long the last weather was. Explain, I have no idea how gathering endgame works. So that's very reliable. Just not that profitable How I loathe you so. Posts are automatically archived after 6 months.
