Ocean Fishing Guide - Get the Shark Mount Easily!

[@Zanador]

Wow, this seems like a very informative video but it didn't feel like a "beginner's" guide to doing something "easily" at all. I'm a level 13 Fisher so I don't even have almost any of the skills you mentioned, and the whole situation of needing to pre-plan specific fish to target using a third-party tool to scout out a specific trip seems pretty involved. This was very hard to follow without much Fishing experience in FFXIV.

[@austins.2495]

Get good scrub?

[@CatsLeMatts]

I felt the exact same thing watching this a few days ago. It wasn't until I got my FSH to end game last night that it started to make sense. On the bright side, getting 10k without using macros or unlocking all the skills is definitely doable if you manage to get 2-3 Spectral Currents and easy side missions for a etter multiplier. I got the mount while casually running for XP / Scrips. The title is gonna be tough though...

[@Zanador]

@@CatsLeMatts Yeah I actually got the mount myself at around level 50, just by looking up what baits are generally good in what spot and getting a bit lucky. Like I said this video is definitely very good, I just think that providing level 90 rotations is a bit at odds with the way Ocean Fishing is often presented as "a quick way to level your untouched FSH job", and I think all the stuff about determining what exact fish bit your line by tracking the time spent since casting and looking at a full list goes against the idea of an "easy guide for beginners". For a level 90 fisher who wants to make serious high-score attempts towards the harder achievements, this is the perfect guide. Really I'm just a little bothered by how common it is for FFXIV guides to be like "intro to doing X for beginners!" and then immediately start talking about Level 90 skills. IMO if you're max level on a job you are not a "beginner". What if I'm in the middle of Heavensward or Stormblood and want to know a good Level 60 rotation for my job?

[@CatsLeMatts]

@@Zanador i agree, Jolsn probably could have spent a little longer explaining the fundamentals and the different skills we got along the way would have made this a lot easier to understand.

[@lucasmills9959]

Man I'm level like 45 fishing and this is all going way over my head. That lulus tools website is great to learn about though

[@Justin-ym4pm]

As others have said, you jump from saying this is a beginner guide that can be done at any level, to being a guide about the best time to use high level fishing skills. It'd be fine if you at least transitioned, i.e. "And thats the introduction, now we're going to talk about how to play at level X"

[@LantanaLiz]

And aren't some of these gated to the class quests as well? Like, jarring as hell.

[@talosian10]

Goodness this guide just made me not want to mess with fishing lol

[@l.g.4455]

Thanks for the guide. I just hit 90 with miner and botanist after your last video. Now it is time to fish!

[@vexleon]

Thank you for this amazing video. I incorporated your advice after failing to get more than ~7k points many times and on my first run hit 20k. Got the mount, title, everything. Perfect advice.

[@3mileisland516]

Are you being serious?

[@DonaldTurner]

awesome!

[@NorthernNeko]

THANK YOU. Finally, someone explains the Lulu's Tools so that it makes sense! I have been so confused by this site, and every video I've seen that tries to explain it made me even more confused. You have done a great job. I can't wait to put what I've learned to use tonight 😆 Wish me luck lol

[@eugenides04]

Exactly the video I was looking for! Getting back into fishing after not having touched it since hitting 80 in early ShB and absolutely clueless looking at all the new/changed buttons. Great to have a game plan I can be confident in!

[@DonaldTurner]

this was awesome. i have been sucking at OC.. and this helped me just get my best run ever.. 22k+ thank you brother, peace!

[@TomTheOwl68]

Thanks for the guide. After getting used to ocean fishing, i got 10,481 points so done the moogle thing and the achievement:)

[@emilyedwards4914]

Great video, and exactly what I was looking for! Thank you!

[@x3AnimeFanXD]

I was SO confused when you started talking about double hooks and triple hooks because I'm still a level 60 fisher D:

[@MirKat792]

Me too lol! Gotta keep doing the ocean fishing for those easy levels first >:D

[@teddylark2357]

yer it’s confusing for beginners cos you have to complete the original part of the game first to level 50 on to the next expansion..so really isn’t a beginner guide

[@SoSedatedSoSecure]

Thanks so much for this! Maybe a good tip: Queue later, not immediately on the hour. You’ll get a higher chance of joining with a group of less people. It definitely buffed my spectral catches and points in general. I had a group of 8 and I got 10763 points in the end. I’m not 100% sure this is a thing, but it sure seemed like it. I was level 67 when it happened.

[@mumtrz]

And risk missing the ship altogether when suddenly it decides to cap on 24 people? No thanks

[@lukankuro223]

@@mumtrz you cant miss the ship. as soon as you queue in for the trip you are guaranteed to enter it. after 10 min if the queue has not found 24 players, you get into the ship with the few people that was searching as well. soo easier to catch special fish

[@JH-vb1wo]

I have enjoyed fishing so much I leveled my fisher to lvl 62 already and my main character is lvl 50. Ocean fishing has really bumped up the levels and it’s fun

[@Jolsn]

It is, I'm still going for the 3 million points ocean fishing achievement. "World Class Troller" is just too good of a title to not use...

[@azza5332]

I wouldn't call this a beginners guide. Very confusing if you're not already lvl 80.

[@3mileisland516]

I know right! It's always 'easy' to do - if you're level 90 with unlimited gil. I don't actually expect it to be easy but it would be nice if there were some FFXIV guide videos that weren't click baity...

[@2qup2]

To be fair Ocean fishing just regular will get you to 90 with only a few trips so its easy to assume you leveled all the way up

[@pumpkingamebox]

Bruh, just level up and you’ll have all the information you need. And there are a myriad of ways to make all the Gil you need besides hooking a loan shark… eh? Eh? Not funny? Yeah, I’ll leave.

[@kieranowens5346]

Fisher is the fastest and easiest job to get to 90 in the game at this point.

[@danielrivera1833]

I’m level 40 and understood the directions and tips perfectly? Maybe it’s a you problem. Edit: my fishing level is 7 too btw.

[@Red-fg9qr]

This is nuts! I never knew it was that complicated XD I thought it was all RNG.

[@Voltage256]

I love fishing so much in this game that it was my 1st maxed out thing before literally anything else lmao 😂

[@rav186]

This is not ‘easy’ at all.

[@x3AnimeFanXD]

I agree! I feel like it will take me a while to learn all of this and be successful with what I learned, too :/

[@megadong2398]

Git gud, it's just fishing m8

[@darkraimac]

Perfect timing, I just recently started to try and get the mount again

[@dnawulf3212]

Thanks for making this, haven't done too much of the DoH/L classes but the mount and title looks cool. Gil too but shiny shark mount

[@Jolsn]

Glad it was helpful!

[@leonbraun3778]

I'm following all the guides and for the life of me, I can't figure out why my scores are always so low... I don't get it :(

[@R3byChan]

Thank You sir, tried by myself to understand the best fishes to catch on the go, but i ended up getting lost in it >_< it isn't too much complicated, just have to pre-plan it couple of mins before, with enough time and practice anyone should be able to get the 10k and 20k achievements ^^ I just got my 10k achievement and scored 12k points thank to a kind stranger that was suggesting which fish to catch and what lure to use =P After we were done i analyzed the website and kinda understood what and why those were the best choices :D and thanks to your guide i managed to get a lot of points ^^

[@Pandakiid]

The mount is amazing! Its worth going for! Ocean fishing is addicting lowkey hahaha

[@nefariouspersephone9447]

oooh, this is super helpful!! ty!

[@seasluggy]

Haven’t tried this since the first month it came out, time to get my shark

[@octapusxft]

Thanks for the advice. I was going for 8k score and I ended up with 10k

[@thtuskey]

In the Google Docs guide, what are the numbers in the DH and TH (double hook/triple hook) columns? Is that how many fish you can get?

[@SocoWow]

I'm only lvl 37 but I can't seem to complete all of the objectives, catch 5 sharks, catch x 3 star fish etc does anyone have any tips on doing that. Do you get more xp if you do?

[@8bit_nacho825]

Thanks! This is a ton of help. I've been trying to get this for a while, while my girlfriend got her's by hitting random abilities haha.

[@Jolsn]

You can get really lucky while fishing, pretty much anyone can get the 10k mount by just spamming cast and hook on enough fishing trips ^^

[@magegammer4879]

I wish i didn't start watching this mid voyage... I wasn't ready...

[@EternalQuestion]

I don't know if they've buffed the points or something now? I got the mount at level 52 before I'd even unlocked any of the skills in this guide. I just used the right baits for each area and spectral current, and without really trying I got 10k points.

[@Jolsn]

No, it's just very luck based. You can get great runs early on if you catch the right boat. Grats on the mount!

[@smokepigs_]

Thank you Jolsn

[@JDxxxxxx]

How do you do double hook twice in one pull?

[@AcaciaLouvegrise]

i'm lvl 52, going to any random ocean fishing voyage i can get since lvl 16 (so roughly 5 or 6 voyages so far, following the advice here 11:44 ), i have no idea what i'm doing, i got clumps of krill, ragworm and plumpworm in my pockets, and after 6 voyages i scored over 10000 points. And not because i'm good lol i make so many mistakes, wrong bait, wrong button, etc. soo.. yea. Gotta keep trying, learning at your own pace, and if you dont like using a website like lulu's tools (great webbie for sure) theres often someone on board telling everyone which bait to use. 10k is totally doable. 20k however... prolly gonna require to be lvl 90.

[@Jolsn]

You likely do need to level up and get some more abilities, most importantly Triple Hook and Patience II. Also make sure to stock up on Hi-Cordials

[@AcaciaLouvegrise]

@@Jolsn Oh absolutely, i searched for Triple Hook among the skills in Actions & Traits and apparently it unlocks at lvl90. I'm just gonna hang out on boats for a lil while until i hit 90, and i'll come back to this video. It's a really good guide so, thank you for making it :>

[@adrianyeager6463]

@@AcaciaLouvegriseupdate? 👀

[@AcaciaLouvegrise]

@@adrianyeager6463 An update lets see, i must have hit lvl 100 about 1 months later without really trying (one or two voyages per irl day, the exp is really good). But i recall hitting the 20k points at lvl 98 with the help of triple hook and a lot of luck (a voyage on the ruby sea where 3 spectral currents occured). I never got the hang of how the Cast Macro (with the timer appearing) worked so i did it without it. 6:04 This combo here was a central piece. Basically 1) trying to meet each of the three quotas without spending GP while amassing Angler's Art buff stacks for later use 2) during the spectral current, Double Hook hoping the fish is gonna be good, and if it is, Thaliak's Favor a couple times to regain GP before throwing the full combo Identical Cast, Prize Catch, Triple Hook. Then just regular hook, or Double Hook if i can afford it. 3) After the spectral current ends, trying to rebuild Angler's Art stacks as fast as i can, while trying to meet the three quotas. So, good RNG and a lot of just chillin fishing for fun. I hope that helps a bit!

[@LilypadOW]

1:36 it being lvl 1 is new to me, i thought it’s being unlocked with the lvl 10 fisher quest or can you just join regardless?

[@Jolsn]

I never tried it before level 10 but everywhere I looked said all you need to complete is the level 1 quest "My First Fishing Rod" as the only requirement

[@KardFett]

As a lvl 6 fisher with access to the ocean fishing, I can confirm that you do not need level 10. I imagine you technically only need lvl 1, but it's kinda hard to finish the first fishing job quest without leveling up at least a few times.

[@caiopanco6872]

I was too noob to fully understand the content of the video, but I sailed and still had a lot of fun. My question now is.... I got ton of fish, what do I do with it? lol

[@jamespersons5086]

Take up cooking. Lol

[@jonaselowery]

This is really helpful. I love your videos. Question: if you are getting a bit at a time that doesn't line up with the bite you are going for do you just use the normal hook ability, or letting the timer wait and casting again?

[@Jolsn]

You just cast normal hook and reel the fish in anyways!

[@DocMajor]

Instructions unclear, ended up at Fishing Trawler in Runescape

[@olivergro7105]

I've absolutely understood nothing and I'm already lvl70 fisher

[@ben6507]

got it on my third try, if you plan your trip with the baits you're going to use and use "patience" well you dont even need double hooks and triple hooks anymore. i got 5.9k base and i was only lvl 43 fishing

[@KissaFran]

Other MMO: AFK fishing FF14: Hey! I prepear for you +100500 skills and no one for AFK! Have fun!

[@carelessmorning]

Is this slightly out of date? In the video you say it takes 1600 GP, but based on my math it takes 1650? You can't achieve this without 950 starting GP.

[@treebush]

is it possible to get the mount without doing job quest?

[@Jolsn]

Should be possible, yes!

[@mrmandiiiss963]

Should rename this " ocean fishing guide for advanced players " and cut the first part out 😂

[@snickers7494]

What should i do with all the fish i have cought???? 😳

[@Jolsn]

Vendor it, unfortunately the fish isn‘t really worth anything

[@jmv9262]

you can also desynth them to get some water crystals and improve your desynth level :3

[@XenosFFBE]

I tuned out when you said macro lol. I will get this done when my ritalin comes in. ♥

[@Ai-No-Unmei]

Thanks :D

[@fabricecavalier]

Very helpful video, thank you >O> !!!

[@Marke522]

Why is the music so loud ?

[@risquecat]

The level of your character is important. Some baits you can't get if your level is low.

[@Morbys13]

I still can't find what the intuition is, anywhere, not sure how to catch these fish when that isnt even explained.

[@alululululu]

Spectral currents can occur multiple times in a single stop, i rmember experiencing such amazing luck before :p can't confirm using proof tho sry :

[@MrYodi2007]

The fishing voyage is always not accepting any new crewmembers!

[@techdeth]

Comments are salter than the fish 🐟 🤣

[@mellar5864]

"Easy"

[@obliviousthunder]

Doesnt matter how many fishing guides i watch it seems. I still fucking suck and the rng gods dont like me -_-

[@DarkDyllon]

ok i'm out, wanted to use this guide for the 8k moogle tome event, but nah, i'm out, screw this.

[@LordRandith]

Lulu tools is not working

[@tharding2870]

Great video. Fishing however is ridiculously overcomplicated so I will probably never max it out.

[@elukajiro3233]

I agree. I will try the RNG method with just cast and hook and hope I will get my stuff

[@JoshuaVerscha]

Holy hell, this is barely English to me. Good video hard work, points for that but if you are a beginner, look elsewhere.

[@nuiharime3410]

How is a side activity like fishing made so confusing and off putting? jesus christ forget it lol

[@FredTheBaddie]

You must be German...

[@Vandelay81]

why do we need a degree to fish in a game

[@theragie0986]

Extremely confusing tbh. Won't call this a beginner video.
