==Fishing Guild Rank System ==
======================================================================================
*Veydal Wrasse I've been told this fish is level 35 but considering how much Guild Points you get from completing this I find it hard to believe there isn't a mistake here somewhere.
*Bait/Lure and Location are still work in progress, the information listed is just what other wikis say.

==Tips From The Trade==
*Take your level, add 10 levels above, add your gear and you SiS and that is your target range.
Ex if you are level 14 and you have +4 in gear and +2 from SiS then your target range is 24 - 30.
You can go higher or lower than this level range but this is your target level "sweet spot".
*Get Advanced Synthesis Support every chance you get, it lasts for 2 hours and only costs 30 gil per rank so at it's max rank it only costs 300 gil, you can afford that by simply selling one Rusty Bucket to an NPC for 51 gil, so there is no excuse for never having it.
*Aim for the fish which is the safest and furthermost from your current level. (+4 gear) (+2 ASiS) (+10 fishing rod*(varies)) meaning you should be aiming for fish around 15 levels approximately above your current level.
*Keep reading the fish messages, if it doesn't say "good" doesn't matter if it's an item, a mob or another fish don't reel it in, it could risk breaking your line or worst your rod.
==Editors Fishing Route==
(a.k.a the cheap route)
*NOT RECOMMENDED
This fishing method is what I used to skill up to 100. If you learn only one thing from this method, then please learn from my mistakes. I used a Clothespole until level 80, I tried using a a Halcyon Fishing Rod someone lent me but I broke it on a Cobalt Jellyfish so I gave up and only changed fishing rods at level 80 because I couldn't catch Giant Catfish using this rod without the risk of my rod breaking, so I upgraded to a Composite Fishing Rod for the rest of the way.
Fish 	Level 	Size 	Location 	Information
Bastore Sardine 	9 	Small	Port Windurst 	I used a Sabiki Rig here, good for catching multiple of the same fish and every fish you aim for at this level will be higher so whatever you fish up will get you skill ups.
Yellow Globe 	17 	Small	Qufim Island 	Still using the Sabiki Rig I bought, I headed over to Qufim Island to fish up more multiples here.
Cheval Salmon and Tricolored Carp	21 and 27	Small	East Ronfaure (River) 	I picked up a Fly Lure from an NPC vendor and headed over here, I was aiming for the Cheval Salmon but I could also sometimes catch the Tricolored Carp here too, although they weren't very good thinking back on it.
Dark Bass 	33 	Small	Carpenters' Landing (on the dock from the exit in Northern San d'Oria)	These seem to bite well to most lures here, I think Minnow is best, shame I was still using that Fly Lure.
Shining Trout 	37 	Small	Carpenters' Landing (North) same spot as before (on the docks) 	Hopefully I started to use a Minnow now since that's what you need to catch these.
Black Eel 	47 	Small	Zeruhn Mines (River) 	I fished on the bridge using a Worm Lure, I remember this been an expensive purchase for me at the time, as long as your not reckless with losing your baits or lures these pieces last a long time.
Bluetail 	55 	Small	Qufim Island 	Use that Minnow and you'll find the fish bite plentifully here.
Elshimo Newt 	60 	Small	Yhoator Jungle (J-11) 	These fish don't stack, how annoying, had to make lots of trips back and forth from town to the fishing spot.
Crescent Fish 	69 	Small	East Sarutabaruta 	At this point I was getting really impatient with the speed of my level ups and tried travelling around to many other fishing spots, mainly Nashmau. Soon but not yet.
Zebra Eel 	71 	Small	Den of Rancor (map 9) (E-8) 	This wasn't that hard to get to as you might think however it was my introduction in to Sneak fishing. Fun times.
Kayabaligi 	75 	Small	Al Zahbi 	-
Bastore Bream 	86 	Small	Port Windurst 	I didn't think these were as bad as every said.
Ahtapot 	90 	Large	Nashmau 	Nice little profit went sold to an NPC but I didn't like catching them, plus it's a long journey to get out there.
Black Sole 	96 	Small	Lower Jeuno 	I think this is as good as it gets, tons of fishing spots, NPC for as good as the fish in Nashmau and a lot closer too.
Armored Pisces 	110 	Large	Oldton Movalpolos 	-
As you can see I caught a lot of small fish because small fish stack (most of the time) but if I were to do this over again, I would definitely use a different fishing rod and would've gone to a few other fishing spots along the way. Oh and I definitely would've used (ASiS), really there was no reason not too, just being cheap.
==Target Fish Route==
For this route I am going to assume you have fishing gear +4 and advanced Synthesis Support (ASiS) +2 at all times. I will give you a target level to reach and the fish your going after, you could fish on these fish for longer but I will suggest another fish for you to aim for around 5-6 levels before the fish level.
This route will be based on the assumption that you have and are using a Composite Fishing Rod or better.
Fish 	Target Level	Fish Level	Location 	Information
Greedie 	8 	14 	Misareaux Coast 	If you can't get here just do Moat Carps instead, early levels, doesn't really matter too much what you catch.
Cheval Salmon 	15 	21 	East Ronfaure 	-
Pipira 	23 	29 	Windurst Waters 	I feel like this is oddly over looked but a good fish to skill up on.
Ogre Eel (Option A) 	31 	35 	West Sarutabaruta 	I am going to give you some options, simply because this fish is common and easy to catch but the next fish is higher and not bad either.
Shining Trout (Option B) 	33 	37 	Carpenters' Landing (North)	-
Black Eel (Option A) 	44 	47 	Zeruhn Mines 	-
Icefish (Option B) 	44 	49 	Beaucedine Glacier (Pond) 	I haven't tried skilling up fishing here but I feel like I missed out, I think here would be a great spot and right next to the Oupost too.
Elshimo Newt 	54 	60 	Yhoator Jungle (J-11) 	Honestly, I don't know if I even should recommend this one, you'll hate me for it, they don't stack and that sucks but it's at the right level.
Crescent Fish 	63 	69 	East Sarutabaruta (Lake) 	No, you can't go to Nashmau yet, shut up and keep going.
Kayabaligi (Option A) 	70 	75 	Al Zahbi 	Not everyone has access to Lufaise Meadows luckily that fish has a twin fish right here in Al Zahbi.
Tavnazian Goby (Option B)	70 	75 	Lufaise Meadows 	-
Bastore Bream (Option A) 	80 	86 	Port Windurst 	Decision time, poor bite rate or long commute, your choice.
Mercanbaligi (Option B) 	80 	86 	Nashmau 	NPC for a nice price.
Black Sole 	90 	96 	Qufim Island 	No more options, your on the home stretch now, these sell rarely on the AH but NPC for a nice price.
Armored Pisces 	100 	110 	Oldton Movalpolos 	-
Despite what I say and suggest, you actually have more options than you might think. Just remember to have fun.
==Exotic Fish Route==
==Legendary Rods - Lu Shang's Rod and The Ebisu ==
Are these rods worth the time and effort to get them? That's up to you, but If your goal is to get fishing to 100 then you do not need a Lu Shang's Fishing Rod.
However, if your goal is to get an Ebisu Fishing Rod then you MUST get a Lu Shang's Fishing Rod.
There are 102 fish in each area that you can catch; you can catch 90 of those with a regular rod. However, if you're going to catch those last 12 fish, you must have one of the legendary fishing rods.
There are a couple of ways to get a Lu Shang's Fishing Rod:
* buy one off someone or from the AH, you should expect to spend a between 1M to 4M.
* Complete the quest The Rivalry/The Competition. Each quest requires that you catch and turn in 10k fish.
