Shortcuts: Fisher (Class)

| Contents [hide] |
"For centuries, casting nets has been the favorite method of catching fish in the seas off Vylbrand. Because of this, those who work the nets to make a living have come to be called "pullers", and over the years, several independent crews of pullers have united to form small businesses of their own. These businesses can all be found in a district of Limsa Lominsa known as Fisherman’s Bottom. One of the largest organizations based there, Wawalago’s Pullers—whose activities include everything from the buying and selling of fish, bait, and tackle, to the maintenance of the local fisheries (the Barrel), and the upkeep of the area’s several lighthouses—has taken the name of "Fishermen’s Guild", with the laudable aim of offering instruction to aspiring fishermen and women."
"Transforming oneself from an insignificant drop in an ocean of warmongering bladeslingers into a friend of the fish, a follower of the tides, requires little more than tossing that unsightly weapon of yours into the sea, and wrapping your hands around a freshly carved rod and a sackful of wriggling bait. Of course, one cannot partake in the bounties of the deep without making their way to water, whether it be a puddle or pond. But simply casting a line will not always guarantee a fickle fish will bite. A refined fisherwoman will reach into her tackle box of tricks and draw on her years of experience to dowse prime fishing holes simply bursting with school after school of eager wavekin. The better her senses, the more luck she'll have in striking the mother lode. However, if you still long for a method to sate your violent primal urges, you can always take up a prickly prod in your off-hand and test your skills at spearfishing. You may even find yourself tête-à-tête with an awe-inspiring aquan that would normally pay little heed to worm and hook." - Faucillien

"Ever since the savage cetaceans that sup on the local sea creatures started increasing in size, the city-state's been suffering a severe shortage of seafood. To ensure our starved citizens are swiftly sated, the pullers are seeking the assistance of skilled fishers to scour the seas for fresh fish, and are offering a bounteous bounty for any brought back." ~ N'nmulika
Guild Tasks are simple quests in which the guild requests the adventurer to bring various items to the guild in exchange for a reward. Currently only Level 1 and Level 10 Guild Tasks are available. The requested item changes daily, and the reward varies. (Gil, Shards, etc.) You can find out which Tasks are available by either talking to N'nmulika or by examining Task Boards around Limsa Lominsa.
As you level your Fishing, you will be able to undertake various quests that will require your talents as a Fisherman. These quests follow a storyline that revolves around the Fishermen's Guild and your role as a Fisherman in Eorzea.
