Ocean Fishing

Ocean Fishing is a duty that is exclusive to fishers, where a group sets sail together on the Endeavor in search of adventure on the High Seas. It requires a party of 1 to 24 players and has a time limit of 60 minutes. It was introduced in patch 5.2 of Shadowbringers expansion.

Requirements

Quest: All the Fish in the Sea
Level 1 Fisher
NPC Fhilsnoe in Limsa Lominsa Lower Decks (X:7.8 Y:14.5)
Pre-requisite quest: My First Fishing Rod

Participating in Ocean Fishing

Every two hours (Earth time), players have a fifteen-minute window to register by speaking with Dryskthota on the Limsa Lominsa Lower Decks (X:3.0, Y:12.7). If intending to enter as a party, the party leader must be the one to speak with the NPC.

Players will be matched together to form a full party when participating solo or with a party of fewer than eight members.
The ship will depart even if there are fewer than 24 crew members.

When ocean fishing is available, the NPC will be marked with an "!" icon on the map.

Availability and Routes

Depending on the time slot, the route taken and time of arrival at the destination may vary. For more information, speak with Dryskthota on the Limsa Lominsa Lower Decks (X:3.0, Y:12.7) and select "View Sailing Schedule." You can also set an alarm for the time of departure via subcommands.

When embarking on a voyage, players may select either the "Indigo Route" or the "Ruby Route" (added in patch 6.4). Players must complete the main scenario quest Stormblood to unlock the Ruby Route. The Indigo Route is located on waters off the western shores of Eorzea, while the Ruby Route is located in the Far East.

Fishing on the Endeavor

The Endeavor sails to fishing locations off the coast of various locations, such as Costa del Sol and Horizon, which can be seen in the background. Each Ocean Fishing trip contains three fishing locations. Players will have seven minutes to reel in fish at each location, with various rewards on offer. Note that players are unable to cast their fishing rods during the last 30 seconds at each location.

Bait

While Versatile Lures can be used, there are other types of baits created especially for the Endeavor. To purchase these baits, speak with the Merchant & Mender on the Limsa Lominsa Lower Decks (X:3.2, Y:12.8) or onboard the Endeavor (X:6.1, Y:6.1). Each route has a preferred bait used to catch the Spectral Fish that can spawn a Spectral Current.

Location	Preferred Bait
Bloodbrine Sea	Krill
The Ciedalaes	Ragworm
Galadion Bay	Plump Worm
Rhotano Sea	Plump Worm
Rothlyt Sound	Plump Worm
Southern Merlthor	Krill
Northern Merlthor	Ragworm
Sirensong Sea	Plump Worm
Kugane Coast	Ragworm
Ruby Sea	Krill

Other types of lure may also be used.

Points

Rewards are given according to the points earned during Ocean Fishing.

Releasing or discarding fish will not reduce your point total.

Records

Information on points earned, the three most recently caught fish, and time remaining can be viewed during the fishing trip.

You may also view a list of fish that you have caught in Score Overview.

Bonuses

Bonuses are awarded upon fulfilling certain conditions, either individually or as a group, which affect the rewards given upon completion.

Spectral Currents

Spectral currents will appear under certain conditions and allow a greater number of fish to be caught for a limited time.

Experience Point Gain

Ocean fishing awards experience points based on your level regardless of which fish are caught, making it ideal for leveling up.

Completion

Once three fishing locations have been visited, the voyage will end and final results will be announced.
