Ocean Fishing is exclusive to fishers which allow them to set sail together on the Endeavor in search of adventure on the high seas. It requires a part of 1 to 24 players and has the time limit of 60 minutes. It was introduced in patch 5.2 of Shadowbringers expansion.

Requirements

Participating in Ocean Fishing

Every two hours (Earth time), players have a fifteen-minute window to register by speaking with Dryskthota on the Limsa Lominsa Lower Decks (X:3.0 Y:12.7). If you wish to enter as a party, the party leader must be the one to speak with the NPC.

  • Players will be matched together to form a full party when participating solo or with a party of fewer than eight members.
  • The ship will depart even if there are fewer than 24 crew members.

When ocean fishing is available, the NPC will be marked with an "!" icon on the map.

  • Other types of lure may also be used.
