Fishing (Retainer Ventures)

Main article: Retainer Ventures

Players may send their retainers on Fishing Ventures to gather seafood that is normally obtained from fishing. Retainers must be a set to the fisher class to undertake these, which each cost one Venture. Higher-leveled ventures are unlocked as the retainer levels up as fisher. This page contains a list of Fishing Ventures.

Gearing

Similar to other gathering ventures, retainers must meet an average minimum gathering of their gear to undertake a venture. The yield of materials increases with their perception at certain thresholds. The range of perception needed for a yield bonus is listed in each row of the table below, with the upper range being the perception needed for maximum yield. Maximum quantity may require melding the retainer's gear with Gatherer's Guile Materia to reach the perception threshold.

• The gathering stat threshold is generally very lenient - unmelded scrip gear from the previous expansion should already meet the requirement for all items.
• GP has no bearing on yield, and can be ignored.
• Since gatherer accessories only give GP at base, their value comes from perception melds applied to them. Therefore, higher-item-level accessories are only helpful if they would allow more perception to be melded, and if that additional perception is enough to increase yield on an item.
• Even with maximum perception melds and best-in-slot gear, it may not be possible to hit the perception needed for max yield on the highest-level item.

The duration needed to gather the requested item decreases based on retainer's level (not item level):

• 60 minutes: 0-9 levels higher than venture level
• 50 minutes: 10-19 levels higher
• 40 minutes: 20+ levels higher
