They say line-fishing's in every RPG these days. Maybe they're right. Just Final Fantasy 14 isn't just another RPG — it's an MMO. And angling'southward in every MMO, besides. So that's a double whammy right in that location. Forgive u.s. for saying so, merely they had usa claw, line, and sinker on this ane.

Thankfully, FF14'southward fishing has been rather well received. Some players cite it equally their personal favorite Disciple of the Land job — information technology'due south a bit more energetic than Phytology and Mining, especially in contempo updates. We'll explore what all that ways, and how to brand the near of your Fishing experience with information technology, as we pause downwards the best mode to level this course from landlubber beginnings to seasoned and seaworthy 90.

Unlocking Fisher

FF14-Fisher-Guild-1

Regarding Guide Format

Before nosotros begin in earnest, you may notice there'southward a fundamental difference in how our Fisher class guide is structured relative to some of our others. The Botany guide is a practiced example. In that guide, nosotros break things downwards by leveling stages: initial joining, up to xx, up to 40, up to threescore, up to 80, and then finally to ninety.

While that first part is covered in this section, nosotros'll exist going in a separate management because Ocean Fishing rapidly becomes the current strongest way to grind it out to the top. Information technology's even technically bachelor from the moment you unlock the Fisher class, though we recommend waiting until around twenty-25 earlier giving information technology a whirl. More on that later.

Becoming a Fisher

Your journey to the ocean blue starts in Limsa Lominsa. Here, you lot'll find the Fishermen's Guild and its eclectic cast of characters. In guild to join the society, you must have at to the lowest degree one Disciple of War or Magic class at level ten or above. That'southward it — albeit with the disclaimer that unless you've chosen Marauder, Rogue, or Arcanist, yous'll as well have to make it far enough into the principal scenario to actually reach Limsa Lominsa in the first identify.

Prioritize Principal Quests

FF14 La Noscea

Final Fantasy 14 offers some sugariness rewards for exploring Eorzea'south every nook and cranny, but it also provides richly for sticking to the directly and narrow. Whenever you've reached the required level for a new Fisher quest, you should prioritize it above all else. Not simply are main quests a terrific source of experience — the point of this guide! — but you will acquire bully level-appropriate gear that will aid to limit your gil expenses.

To that terminate, we'll chart your class now with a full listing of Fisher job quests from ane to 70. Beyond 70, things get a scrap different, then we'll get over that on its ain.

Crystarium and Studium Deliveries

FF14 Fisher Crystarium

The above quests are covered in A Realm Reborn, Heavensward, and Stormblood. Merely one time Shadowbringers comes along, Fisher quests are shuffled into a new dynamic chosen Crystarium Deliveries.

With Crystarium Deliveries, each Disciple of the Manus and Land is given multiple quests, at fix level intervals, with each quest requiring that six of a specific detail or items be turned in. (Hence "deliveries.") Most not-combat classes are split betwixt just four NPCs at the Crystarium, merely Fishers go the beasty boy Frithrik (pictured above) all to themselves. Isn't that nice? We think it'southward nice.

Crystarium Deliveries net plenty of experience points. Don't be surprised to find that y'all're practically soaring through your seventies. Bolster your leveling with some Bounding main Angling or conventional grinding to hit fourscore in no time.

At 80, Crystarium Deliveries are replaced with Studium Deliveries out in One-time Sharlayan. The formula's more or less the same, with a new storyline involving some other NPC who is, once over again, wholly dedicated to the fine art of fishing rather than splitting their expertise across several jobs.

Endwalker's Studium Deliveries, like their Shadowbringers forebears, will likely nab you lot about a level per quest reward. (If non quite the full level, and then reasonably shut. Be sure to turn in high-quality items to ensure the maximum!)

Ocean Line-fishing is the All-time Leveling Path

FF14 Ocean Fishing

Equally nosotros've established, Body of water Line-fishing is the number 1 way to level Fisher speedily in Concluding Fantasy xiv. What makes this then good? And how did Fishers even exist without its arrival in Shadowbringers 5.2l? (Hint: they leveled just like any other Disciple of the Land course, which seems so cutely quaint in retrospect.)

Players unlock Ocean Line-fishing equally soon as they become Fishers. No red record, just gorgeous voyages. Speak with Fhilsnoe at the Fishermen'southward Guild, and he'll become things squared abroad. Every two hours (real-time, listen yous, non Eorzea Fourth dimension) the NPC named Dryskthota at the Limsa Lower Decks pier invites all able-bodied Fishers (that'due south united states of america) to hop aboard the Try and go on an epic fishing spree.

The Endeavor volition terminate past various key locations. At each location, players are given 7 minutes to fish up every bit much as possible. A vendor on the gunkhole sells lures, including types that cannot be obtained anyplace else. Seldom are they mandatory, simply they scarcely feel necessary, either; utilise your best judgment on this one.

Sea Fishing is and then bang-up for leveling because the experience gains scale with level. At that place's never a dull moment to be found with the mechanic, as the signal gains volition be delightfully visible on your screen. Furthermore, while level i through 50 Ocean Fishing expeditions are "just" for leveling, college ranges honor Gatherer's Scrips which tin be turned in for amend gear, materia, and more.
