How long does it take!! : FFXI General Discussions

I know that fishermans have stamnia too now, that means we can't fish forever. But, what do we have to do besides zoning, before the system resets and we get our stamnia to fish again? Please help, i've tried logging off in a diffrent place for like 6 hours, i've tried changing fishing zone and it STILL sucks!

It seems to not suck after like 12 hours at least.

So log off or change the area for 12 hours then go back? and your fisherman should of regain its stamina

Umm... I usually go to bed or go exp so far and when I've gotten back it's good fishing again... That's at approx 12 hours intervals.

I was wondering why i suddenly stopped getting bites. do you know how they determine the fisherman's stamina? is it by the number of casts/catches/time spent fighting fish/time in a zone?

It's the fish dificulty versus your fishing skill.
A high skill fisher catching moat carp can fish for several hours.

Popular theories about fishing fatigue:

1. All fishing Fatigue will be reset at JPN Midnight
- This is more fact now than theory as numerous people have reported
zero catches before then wham back to full on catch rates.

2. Resting may/may not help
- People have reported that when they rest for MP (i.e. sneak fishing)
that it appears they don't tire as easily.

3. Limit your fishing time to 2 hours then take a break as there are
different levels of fatigue and once you break the "threshold" of fatigue
to the point of exhaustion, the only thing that will help is JPN midnight.

These are just a couple of the more popular theories atm. More to come as I find them trolling around the fishing sites.

Just wondering, now that XU Fish 3.4 can selectively choose to reel in specific fish using fish hp, would the fisherman's stamina to fish last longer?

Let's say XU fish is configured for only moat carp (460 hp) and deliberately releases gold ,tricolor carp, rusty items etc. on purpose by not reeling them in. Would it be possible that this would prolong fishing since fisherman's stamina would not be drained by reeling fish one does not want?

Just a thought

Just a thought [/quote]Theoretically it might be possible, test it! The stuff hasn't been out long enough to say anything conclusive.
