Fisher
"Fishers are the harvesters of the realm's marine and freshwater animal resources.The trade rose to prominence in the nation of Limsa Lominsa, owing to the plentiful waters upon and around Vylbrand island. Be it from the shore of a sea, the bank of a river, or the deck of a boat, Eorzea's anglers must constantly account for a wide range of factors to optimize their success, including season, time, place, tools, and bait." — Game Description
Fisher is a gathering or Disciples of the Land class that harvests fish and other sea creatures from the waters of Eorzea, as well as other specific locations at higher levels. The raw materials they gather are used primarily by the Culinarian crafting class, but Alchemist also has some use for them. When you fish, Fishing Tackles are expended. Different fishing tackles are used to catch different fish in various environments. If the tackle used is unsuitable for the location, the fishing attempt will be canceled without expending the tackle. Some fish can only be caught under specific additional circumstances (weather, time of day) or using specific actions (such as mooching).
The Fisher's Guild is located in Limsa Lominsa.
- To become a fisher, talk to the fisher's guild receptionist when you're level 10 or higher on another class.
