Ocean Fishing

Overview
Every two hours (Earth time), players can register for the next Ocean Fishing voyage with Dryskthota at the Limsa Lominsa Ferry Docks.
- Players can join as a pre-formed party or will be matched together if traveling solo. After 15 minutes of registration time, the ship will depart, even if there are fewer than 24 participants.
- There are seven different zones and each voyage will consist of three 7-minute segments.
- Gathering and Perception stats are ignored and therefore do not impact the likelihood of catching fish nor yield. Players should maximize GP for Ocean Fishing.
Spectral Currents
Spectral Currents are a special weather effect that form under certain conditions. During a Spectral Current, fish will be hooked faster and are worth more points. Moreover, some types of fish only appear during spectral currents.
- Each non-spectral area has a certain "Spectral" fish, which, when caught, has a small chance of triggering a Spectral Current.
- Dolphins' Auroral Flipper buff increases the chance of triggering a Spectral Current.
- If a segment does not experience a Spectral Current, the activation rate and length (from 2 minutes to 3 minutes) of a Spectral Current will be increased if triggered in the following segment.
Bait
Special bait for Ocean Fishing (Krill, Ragworm, Plump Worm) can be purchased at the ferry docks or aboard the Endeavor. A varying fourth bait is necessary for some intuition-based spectral fish as follows:
Route | Fish | Bait |
---|---|---|
Galadion Spectral Current | Sothis | Glowworm |
Southern Merlthor Spectral Current | Coral Manta | Shrimp Cage Feeder |
Northern Merlthor Spectral Current | Elasmosaurus | Heavy Steel Jig |
Rhotano Spectral Current | Stonescale | Rat Tail |
Cieldalaes Spectral Current | Hafgufa | Squid Strip |
Bloodbrine Spectral Current | Seafaring Toad | Pill Bug |
Sirensong Spectral Current | Dusk Shark | Mackerel Strip |
Ruby Spectral Current | Hells' Claw | Squid Strip |
One River Spectral Current | Jewel of Plum Spring | Stonefly Nymph |
Fish
There are more than 300 fish able to be caught during Ocean Fishing, with each fish yielding points per fish from a minimum of 10 to a maximum of 500 points. Points are per fish, and catching more fish per cast will multiple the resulting point value. In order to catch multiple fish with one cast, when available, player must use Double Hook or Triple Hook. "Large" fish are worth double points. As a result, a single cast can potentially yield more than 1000 points depending on the fish itself, the number of fish caught, and size. See the below charts for possible fish per route. Fish in gold are standard targets for high scoring.
