Fishing Fatigue?!!?!!?! : FFXI General Discussions

This fatigue is really annoying, where u just coninuously get "You didnt catch anything" while the noobie fisher next to you gets a moat carp every cast. Does anyone know any details to how to "cure" this fatigue? Zoning definitely does not work... I went from Rolanbery's pond--> Windurst walls = still no bites.

from what i understand of it it is only reset every JP midnight but i may be wrong. this is what ive read/heard many times

There are 2 predominant theories/facts:

1. Catches for a 24hr period will be capped at 200 (This seems to include, you lost your catch, rusties, etc...)

2. Fatigue will reset at JP midnight, I've tested this myself and fished until I was fatigued right before JP midnight I had 40 or so "You didn't catch anything" then the clock ticked over 10am EST and bam, I was catching fish like a champ again.

The 200 cap seems pretty consistent on all the fishing boards I've read and many others have noticed the JP midnight reset also. Take it for what it is and hope that SE will up the cap at a later date.

I have been catching moat carps mostly lately, the easiest way i found is to create 2 or 3 charaters and cycle through them every time they hit the 200 cap. Seems like its a 200 cap per person, so 3 characters catch 600.... Downsides is you have to skill lvl 3 characters if you want to catch anything above moat carps.
