Fishing 1-50 without leaving your country : FFXI General Discussions

I compiled this guide since the most useful guide I found requires you to travel all over the place and we all know that we rather be fishing than waiting for the ferry or airship to bring us to a certain place. This guide is good for those who has no time to travel and rather stay in one place to improve their fishing skills. I hope that you find this useful and effective where ever you choose to fish.
