Why the Hell can't we get a tacklebox? An item in your back slot or ammo slot that when clicked functions like the PUP attachment section... store all your Lures at least if not all bait. 2nd... pertaining to catching specific fish (Bastore Sardine for ex.) why the hell isnt it more refined?.... I know this games old but there should be more directed baits per fish. It's kinda nonsense that theres like 50 different baits, but most are useless, and most fish bite the same baits. I'd be nice if sure, X bait was able to catch say 5 diff fish, but if you used Y bait, you can only catch 1 fish so when targeting specific ones you could choose more appropriately. /endrant

Fishing was responsible for most of the gil introduced into the economy, prior to sparks at least. All of the resources they could have spent improving it, instead had to be used to keep people from exploiting it. We can't have nice things because we don't know how to play nice.

Interesting (to me) note:
If you miss an objective it will replace the "next" one in that slot. I think we all knew this.
If you do all the objectives the next day, you will be back on the same set as everyone else the following day.

Example (if you skip 7)
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 7
15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21

I would've figured you would always be "behind" one day's objectives, but it seems like it just checks each day if you completed and keeps the ones you haven't done, then gives you the new set for anything you did (or that was a double-skip).

I'm sure it's highly unlikely this will be useful for you, but it does help avoid getting your characters/mules out of sync.

2003/2004, i used to collect yag bead necklaces and make grass thread, which is a level 4 synth I believe, there is a chance, albeit low, to get a HQ and I have multiple times over the years. so synth support, no gear at the time.
1-This is a desynthesis, which we know doesnt follow standard synth rules in regards to success rates, therefor it is fair to assume it may not follow standard rules for HQ rates.
2-You said you have synth support

that's my mistake, "so" was a typo, was supposed to be "no", I corrected it in the original post. has nothing to do with the comment itself, but for context, I used to fight yagudo out in the field, and craft with the wind crystals they dropped on the spot, so support wasn't an option at that time.
your point about it being a desynth is fair though. that however does not apply to my later comment about omelet asndwiches, and no, I didn't have support there either because I know 2-4 levels below is prime skillup range.

Were the vana'bout weekly objectives supposed to rotate? It has been over a week but they never rotated. Is that a bug? I think they rotated in the past but maybe I forgot.

No

(VB) are one and done. No rotation. No double dip. One time.

Originally there was an issue they rotated weekly ENM battles in the dailies so they were impossible to do, that might be what you're thinking of.

FYI the BCNM Menu and cut scene will waste Unleash's timer.

:(

BST and PUP as a team demolished mercenary camp though.

We also had a WHM backing us up but I wasn't in any real danger.

For what it's worth, with Ebisu+1 and Sabiki Rig, I tried:
Seabird's ring (inc. low rank fish) terrible bite rate, 1 bite in 20 casts
No ring, zero bites in 20 casts
Puffin ring (inc. large fish) I finished the rest of the objective in 11 casts

Its just luck of the draw

I had one char finish in 1.5 boat rides, another char took 6 rides. Both 110 with Ebisu and Sabiki, no other relevant gear that could manipulate the bite rate.

I did the Dhalmel sky orb fight yesterday solo in Giddeus. Traded orb, cancelled menu, used unleash, traded orb and entered. Was able to fluid spread twice and clear the fight before Unleash wore off. If you doing a BCNM that has a long runway (avoid Horlias peak for this reason), you will lose valuable time running in.

Does anyone know if one of the 3 boxes is guaranteed to be the +2 of the job you're opening it as?
It happened to a lot of people in my ls (including myself) and i don't know if we all got lucky or if it is "intended".
We all got lowest stats of course.

Sky Orb Creeping Doom is a joke with RDM, even moreso with two. Use Rolanberry Daifuku for macc+50, Kitron Juice for refresh, gravity, silence, nuke. It goes down fast.

Anyone unable to claim the 10000k exp/ep reward under Check Overall Rewards? It shows (not received.) but neither option does anything. My game has npc locked twice in attempting to open that menu as well.

Same, clicking on the 10k exemplar doesn't do anything for me right now when usually it offers me to redeem it in the past vanabouts.

Same. I figured it was because I am level 50 but I guess it's equally likely they *** it up.

It’s clearly bugged, I tried on multiple jobs and and the menu correctly detects your ML access when it doesn’t npc lock you.

This got fixed today. There's a post up on the jp side of the OF, and I went and confirmed it myself by claiming the points.

Yep can confirm
