Yellow Globe  

Fishing in the sea off of Qufim (Moon at 40%):
Fishing(1) with Halcyon Rod and Sabiki Rod yeilded:

1: Fished up a Pug
2: 3 Yellow Globes
3: 3 Yellow Globes
4: Nothing.
5: 3 Yellow Globes
6: 2 Yellow Globes
7: Nothing.
8: 3 Yellow Globes
9: Nothing.
10: 3 Yellow Globes

This was also convenient because I was farming them to make poison dust to level Alchemy, and whenever I would see Lightning I would go kill a Thunder Elemental or two and BAM! Leveled up alchemy at almost no cost!

Used Halcyon rod + Minnow and caught two from Mhaura to Aht Urgan Whitegate.

Caught 6 of these in about 5 min off the Mhaura pier with Clothespole and Worm Lure. At the time, my fishing skill was still zero. Also was catching Pamtam Kelp and a Silver Ring.

My experiance -
Composite fishing rod, sabiki rig and lugworms, no fishing gear, skill lvl 10, mhuara.
Using Sabiki rig
1st- too small to catch with this rod
2nd- 3 yellow globes(hurrah!)
3rd- bastore sardine
4th- bastore sardine
5th- 3 bastore sardines
6th- bastore sardine
7th- too small to catch with this rod (starting to loose patience....)
8th- 3 yellow globes w00t
9th- yellow globe
10th- bastore sardine
11th yellow globe
12th- rusty leggings
At this point my rig broke because i accidently hit enter while a fish was on full health so i changed to Lugworms
1st- yellow globe
2nd- 2 bastore sardines
3rd- yellow globe
4th- yellow globe
5th- bastore sardine
From then on it got pretty much 1:1 sardines to globes, which i was happy with cuz i could finish 2 stacks in about an hour non stop. I fished opposite the vendor that sells lugworms, not on the pier.

Try using crayfish balls and Carbon rod in Port Jueno at the Windy docks. Don't forget to bring a couple stacks of lightning crystals to lvl achemy.

if yer looking to catch these in Mhaura without catching stupid sardines, use crayfish balls (which bastore sardines apparently don't like) it'll cost you more than a sabiki in the long run, but if yer looking for skillups past 10(like i was) those sardines do you no good and are just plain annoying to catch over and over and over (and also using a rig makes you get to "fishing fatigue" faster, cause your catching fish more quickly, and no one likes it when SE stops you from catching stuff till 24:00 jpn time >.>)

And overall the bait costs like 3k (on AH i could make them, or buy off an NPC for cheaper, but i'm too lazy) and i can sell the stack of globes fer 5k... so i'm not losing any money.

Yellow Globe = 60 Guild Points.

Maximum per day = 1680 Guild Points.

Turn in 28 Yellow Globes to gain the maximum.

Tried to catch these guys in Qufim on the ice pond with sabiki rig and comp. rod, at skill level 13.

Results were as follows:

1) No catch
2) 2 yellow globes
3) a yellow globe
4) No catch
5) No catch
6) Monster
7) No catch
8) Monster
9) No catch
10) Rusty subligar
11) Monster

This is with the +4 from fishing gear and is after the update on Darksday, Last Quarter Moon (50%).. So I don't know whether or not this is a viable place to fish for yellow globes with the sabiki + comp setup.

Edit: FOLLOWUP

After a while longer, catch rates did improve, but still a lot of monsters. I did manage to reach level 15 fishing.

I noticed that the merchants in the fishing guild salesroom in selbina also sell these (ranking was Windy/Sandy/Bastok at the time). Price was about 313...

Used composite rod and sabiki rig on qufim pond. This was the only fish i caught, and never got many other items. Took fishing skill from 10-15 here.

how much are this things? Stack of course

I caught a yellow globe while on the boat from selbina to mhaura using a carbon rod and lugworms
