this fish sucks to skill on...at least at lvl 32 in qufim off the cliffs. I had no problem catching em - got 24 but not a single skill up. Moved over to Jugner forest for crystal bass and got a skill within 10 casts. Bass got me to 35 nicely though it did require catching about 108 fish for the 3 lvls.

Good luck and avoid this fish in my opinion.
Forget Battalia Downs if you're lvl 45 or lower

I used to do ok fishing in Battalia Downs, getting about even numbers of Herring, Cobalt Jellyfish, and Tiger Cod. Level 15 fishing with full set of fishing gear equipped, Mithran rod, using either a Shrimp lure or Sardine balls for bait. But since the first of April, Goblin Bounty Hunters have been super aggro on my lvl 45 RDM. And they are Too Weak!

When I tried fishing in Port Jeuno, I got jellyfish, cod, rusty buckets, and a copper ring, NO herring. GRRRRR

Skill/Cap: 24/39

Rods:
Carbon
Composite
Lu Shang
Mithran
Fastwater (Possible Break)
Halcyon

Bait:
Lugworm
Rogue Rig
Sardine Ball
Shrimp Lure

Area:
Batallia
Lower/Port Jeuno
Qufim (North/South/Pond)

I personally like using the Mithran/Shrimp Lure combo. Since this is a saltwater fish, you'll fish up rusty items which can break Mithran/Carbon rods. With a shrimp lure you eliminate the chance of wasting bait on cobalt jellyfish, but you'll get black sole bites.

As for sale NPCs, The fishing guild carries A LOT of fish and when they run out, they are out of stock for a week or a few hours or something (not sure on restock time). Same goes for all guilds.

No Herring at the cooking guild either, none in Selbina or on the boat to Mhara. Looks like the AH is the only place to get them now. (sigh)

I just came from Babubu's hut in Port Windhurst. There is NO listing for Nosterau Herring. So if she carried it before - she has discontinued the line.

Well, each synth of Pickled Herring yields 4, meaning you only need 1 Nosteau Herring to make 4 Pickled Herring. That evens out the price.
