lol the best place to use this lore is in salt water... or i think... but any way if you have the extra gil or you wana go for the extra mile then get the rogue rig cause its better and also help on lvling fishing
I lost this rig multiple times in Port Windurst for no apparent reason. I got zero rusty items or whatever, I waited to reel the fish in when it had zero hp left, and I was making better money and having more success with lugworms. Even at lvl 7 fishing I lost one. I know it was a bit early, but these things I was catching were easier than pie. I used a Yew rod if that had anything to do with it. Gonna read that link everyone's passing around tomorrow, I have to go to bed... >_>
Edit: I just got another one and I haven't lost it over 5 or so stacks of fish.
you dont need to sign up at the fishing guild to get skill ups. you can get to level 10 before you get capped and need to sign up to continue your fishing journey.
3 stacks is not much... patience is the key to fishing

I did not sign up for fishing guild before and I still could level my fishing till level 6 and I gave it up coz I just don't like fishing in this game. It's a waste of time unless u ....... (fill in anything u want).
Yes, I confirm that I caught Icefish with this rig in the Glacier ( only got monsters with the pond by the tower but got icefish by the eastern pond). In Bibiki Bay my friend level 15 fishing used this rig to catch Quus but his mithran rod broke, i think he grabbed a coral fragment =) Also used this rig to get sardines when I was level 0-10 fishing.
Yes, And I've caught Yellow Globes off of Qufim Island on the Northernmost beach with this while I was waiting for Clippers to spawn.

The Sabiki Rig is for salt water fish. The only exception are Yellow Globes which can be found in salt and fresh water.
This is also able to catch Icefish (freswater) and Sandfish (also freshwater). I haven't gone after icefish yet, but I've caught up to 3 sandfish at a time with this in Rabao.
Yellow Globes cannot be caught in fresh water, if you know of a place where they can tell me and I'll go try it out.

i catch yellow globes all the time in port jeuno waiting for the airship, only lvl 9 fishing but have caught maybe 7 stacks of yellow globes, bastore sardines, and even a couple jellyfish.
This site has a link to the rod breaking tester, game weekday effects, moon phases, airship departure times, xp charts, and more. http://mysterytour.web.infoseek.co.jp/ffxi/us/index.html -wonders if there might be effects from moon phases on tides and therefore fishing-
yes moon phase does affect / effect (dunno which one) fishing, best fishing is below <10% and >90% ^_^ keep this in mind, altho at a certain lvl of fishing it doesn't really matter when you going for low fish, cuz well you just keep catching em anyway :P
Hey i've been making sabiki rigs and the only skill that has gone up is clothcraft. i'm a level 22 goldsmith/level 6 weaver. If this doesnt work for goldsmithing can someone recommend the best recipie to use from 22-30.
heh, cymmina this is cheap to make. its worth it to ride to windy and buy 12 cotton threads off the AH for ~4k a stack(if you can buy 2 stacks and enough ingots to make 8 rigs). buy a stack or two of copper ingots from the guild or something before you leave bastok and thats it. you got 4 rigs selling at ~2.5k+ a piece. wish I had my goldsmithing higher, id make these >.<
I will say, for beeing a lvl 21goldsmith these are quite cheap to make. my lvl 24cloth is costing me 6k+ per synth though I do make a little profit its a lot of capital to start ^.^

I've crafted this item as a 20 goldsmith and 0 clothcraft. Furthermore I've fished using sabiki rig and Carbon rod in Port Bastok numerous times. It works great.... except that I've had my rod broken and lost the sabiki rig twice... I assume the 2 Carbon Rods broke on rusty gear, I wish the game would tell you what breaks your rod, but oh well... I think I'll wait until I can afford a mithran rod to give it another shot.
I am a recruit in both clothcraft and goldsmithing (both 11 skill). The advanced synth support NPC at the goldsmith guild told me I should try making these at my skill level and gave me the recipe. Haven't tried yet, though (cotton thread isn't cheap in Bastok).

D'oooooooooooohhhh... I've been trying this off and on in the moats around San D'Oria. Heh. Now that'sfunny, thinking about all those hours patiently waiting and getting the inevitable "you didn't catch anything"!! Heh, the fish are down there going "Yeah....? What d'you want us to do with this...?
rusty items wont break bamboo rods every time--give it a shot. I fished from the pier in Port Windurst (by the fisherman's guild) for a couple of days, made fish skill 7, and never broke my bamboo rod (just stick with lugworms and you'll be fine) .
You can break a rod while using Sabiki Rig. I loaned my friend my rig, was standing right next to him as his rod snapped. Was in Selbina. I've never lost a rig (except that one :/ ) but you can lose it if your skill is too low for your equipment. His skill was low and his pole was too much for him. Sure you're not gonna lose it in a level 0 fishing area like Port Windurst.

A high lvl japaneese player told me to use Sabiki Rig in Mhuara with the Fiber Carbon Pole. That combo will never break at the docks there he said. You catch Bastore Sardines, Yellow Globes, Silver Rings & Rusty Items. Yellow Globes(12) sell for about 3-4k on Lakshmi server. Im up to lvl 9 just by fishing there. I still have the same pole it hasn't broke yet.
Its a fishing lure that can catch up to 3 fish at a time. I got this lure yesterday and only cought 3 types of fish so far. Bastore Sardine, Quus, and something else i dont remember
I bought this at Selbina for about 2k. Tried it but can't seem to catch anything :( does my fishing skill need to be at a certin lv for it to work? thx
My record shows that I first obtained this recipe with a skill somewhere between 13 and 17, meaning it can probably be attempted (although not with too terribly much success) at around 16 skill.

I have never broken my fastwater rod...it's worked very nice...all the way to lvl 10, then I switched rod/lure for a larger fish combo...
Plus, the fastwater rod is cheaper =)

Breakable rods won't break on the first rusty item ... but they WILL break ... eventually. Basically you cross your fingers and hope ;;
I fished from the pier in Port Windurst (by the fisherman's guild) for a couple of days, made fish skill 7, and never broke my bamboo rod (just stick with lugworms and you'll be fine) .
