Overview
Fishing is a hobby where adventurers take a fishing rod and bait to a body of water and fish! Oceans, seas, lakes, rivers, streams and ponds across Vana'diel are all fishable areas. Fishing has its own guild with its headquarters located in Port Windurst. There is also a fishing competition which keen anglers can take part in!
Fishermen's Guild
Opens in: 00:06:19. Currently Closed. Open tomorrow.
The Fishermen's Guilds in Windurst and Selbina are open 3:00 - 18:00. The Fishermen's Guild (Aht Urhgan Whitegate) is open 1:00 - 18:00. The sea routes (Selbina - Mhaura, Al Zahbi - Mhaura and Al Zahbi - Nashmau) are open 1:00 - 23:00.
They are closed for holiday on Lightningsday.
By speaking to Thubu Parohren, the Guild Master, you can sign up to the guild and get a free crystal.
Guild Merchants
Guild Merchants buy and sell craft related goods during the guild's hours of operation. Prices can vary greatly depending on supply and demand, and unlike Standard Merchants, they can sell out of inventory.
Synthesis Image Support NPCs
Synthesis image support temporarily raises your skill by 1 point. Advanced support raises your skill by 3 points, and requires a small fee based on your crafting rank. Synthesis Image Support can be obtained from the following Guild representatives:
Guild Test Items
Every ten skill levels, you are required to prove to the guild that you "have what it takes" by crafting (or buying) an item of the guild's choosing. This item can be turned in once you have reached an "8" in skill (8, 28, 48, etc.), or higher skill (up to the cap). Once you have the requisite skill, speak with the Guild Master, Thubu Parohren at Port Windurst (C-8), in the Fishermen's Guild (Windurst).
