Does any one know if they changed the bite rate on Bhefhel Marlin?

So I'm trying to get fishing to 30 because I was told that was what was required to fish up Marlins (and it's the minimum to recive the quest which ultimately leads to the Mercurial Kris). Currently 18.5 and fishing Nebs on the ferry, but I occasionally catch Noble Ladies and I noticed they're actually a few lvls higher than Marlins. Does anyone know if I would be able to catch these at my lvl? And if they would offer better skill ups? I've been using a Halcyon rod for the Nebs because it is said not to break on them (which indeed it has not... yet). I assume since this is a large fish I would need a stronger rod, and would likely opt for the mithran.

PS yeah, these things sell for so much on AH now-a-days because people are doing this quest and it can take like 40 Marlins just to get the map, and the Kris only seems to drop on about 1/15 fights... so... that's a lot of fish.

these usually sell for guild test but also when history of AH shows a bunch selling on the same day it was because some one traded them in to the guild for guild points.

^^^^^^^^^^^^ So True.

My fishing skill is only lvl 11, and I caught Two Marlins on the ship with a Composite Rod and Bluefin Bait. Is that normal? Especially if it's used for a 58-60 cap test.

This is used for the fishing skill cap test at 58-60, dont think it has any uses other than that.

Why do these sell for about 5000 on the AH? Are they part of some recipe?

Hi, this is my first post on this site ^^ , but I have a question about these, while on the boat to selbina, some japanese player just randomly gave me two, no idea why, but oh well. When eaten, if they can be eaten (I didn't try) do they add any stats? I didn't eat them because they sell for 3k-4500 each in windy on Kujata, so wherever you are random japanese guy, thank you! ^^ and I see that at some point they sold for 10k and one for 50k in jeuno!!! maybe someone will buy them there! lol
