when you fail on a chest you can't help but to think, "I bet that was the torque I just lost...".
Ugh. So True.

I swore I would never go back.
Its been a few months.
Probably time to go back...
Yea, I'm going to finish getting Dameion his Ebisu/Ochain then I'm going to get those two items from GoV and never do another one again!! :(

New drinking game.

Every time you fail to open a casket by a 50/50 chance, take 1 shot.

Every time you fail to open a casket that you had to guess within 10 digits, take 2 shots.

Every time you fail to open a casket because the hints were so obscure that you didn't stand a snowballs chance in hell to even get within 30 digits of the correct answer, take 3 shots.

I love this. Time to chill the bourbon and go to Shakhrami.

Note to self: Buy a bottle of aspirin asap.

Forget a bottle of aspirin, get an EMT squad on standby.

When the Fisher's Torque was 1st released, I spent a full week and a half every evening after work (~7 hours per night) and that entire weekend doing GOV in Outer Horutoto Ruins. I never left the zone to keep my prowress from resetting.
Opened countless brown chests (easily in the hundreds).
Never Saw the Torque. /cry

How have others done trying for the Fisher's Torque?
I'm exactly where you are.

Four times I spent 7 days straight in that zone refusing to leave so I wouldn't loose prowess. I hate chests.

A low drop rate I can deal with. When you finally get it you get it unless someone is dumb and doesn't past whatever else is in the treasure pool and it falls to the floor.

With chests, you might get it. You might get it just once, or 25 times. You don't know what you have and when you fail on a chest you can't help but to think, "I bet that was the torque I just lost...".

I hate them. I'd rather deal with a 0.1% drop rate than deal with caskets. I'm serious, I'll take 0.1% drop rate any day over caskets.

I got sooo lucky with mine. Finally went in to do it, got page and 3rd kill of page brown chest drops. I think it cant be this easy. Then bam easy combo which leads me to think crap inside but was torque.

Brown chest: Will usually give a 50% or 33% chance of entering the correct number to open it. However, I have a 95% of entering the wrong one :P.

Does anybody have confirmation the discernment +1 fishing belt drops from brown chests in the Maze of Shakhrami?

Yes, I got it a few days ago, you can check the equip tab on my profile if you want to see it. And no I still haven't had time to test it out. =(

*edit*
Fisher's rope on my equip list tab shows for 9/29/11. And yes I know my overall non-fishing gear is lacking, but I'm slowly working on it. ^_^

2 days, 4 hours, 16 minutes and 58 seconds

Since Dameion got his Opal Silk. Such a lucky hoe :\ I guess I fished them so it's my own fault! lol

1/53.........*sigh* (looks at my own 367)




Interesting note, I have 41 Gugrusaurus left over, when I had 42 Lik left over last time. Also anyone on siren want them for ebisu? I'll hang on to them over night and check my PM's tomorrow. Can send me a tell too if you want. I'll do 65% of the AH price.

Love that I didn't buy 1 this time around. Made his ebisu in... 7 days maybe. It took me around 4 months to make mine with just a lu shang and over 60 rod breaks. Ebisu makes a hell of a difference.

It's not unrealistic to catch a 100 fish a day fishing 20 hours a day.

pretty much wake up brush teeth do things i need to do before anything else like look at bills i owe and pay em, then i start fishing i leave character on cliff edge and my laptop sleeps next to me, only time i stop fishing during the day is for dynamis, if friend in RL wanna hang out, friends in game wanna do something, and then regular food bathroom breaks, so yea i believe i do 100 2 sets of 50

ic, some reason I was led to believe most people only catch 50 a day. Maybe it was just during the night.

Yes.... he does have the weirdest resolution. I keep telling him to fix it. And yes golem is linking to this screenshot, lol. Never got even the top 3 when I tried it a few times, so I crossed his name out since it was my fish <.<!! lmao

oh, and the fish was Takitaro for the heaviest weight.

Grats D /o/

The one on Bismarck was Takitaro of the lightest weight. I so skipped it since I already have 3 skillup rings. Good catch though!

Krizz.Bahamut placed 34th on the fishing contest. I thought he was on Cerberus or something?

Placed 18th myself. Enough to last until I get 100.

Does it count as a guess? Like if you have 5 guesses left would it take 1 away?
