Ocean Fishing is the Best Leveling Path

They say angling's in every RPG these days. Maybe they're right. Only Final Fantasy 14 isn't just another RPG — it'southward an MMO. And angling'southward in every MMO, too. So that's a double whammy right there. Forgive u.s. for saying so, but they had us hook, line, and sinker on this one.

Thankfully, FF14'southward fishing has been rather well received. Some players cite it as their personal favorite Disciple of the Land task — information technology's a bit more energetic than Botany and Mining, especially in recent updates. We'll explore what all that means, and how to make the virtually of your Fishing feel with it, as nosotros pause downwards the best way to level this class from landlubber ancestry to seasoned and seaworthy 90.

Unlocking Fisher

Regarding Guide Format

Before we brainstorm in hostage, y'all may notice in that location's a key difference in how our Fisher form guide is structured relative to some of our others. The Phytology guide is a good instance. In that guide, we pause things down by leveling stages: initial joining, up to xx, upwards to twoscore, up to 60, upward to 80, and then finally to ninety.

While that get-go part is covered in this section, we'll be going in a separate direction because Ocean Fishing speedily becomes the current strongest way to grind it out to the top. It's fifty-fifty technically available from the moment you unlock the Fisher form, though we recommend waiting until around 20-25 before giving information technology a whirl. More on that later.

Becoming a Fisher

Your journey to the ocean blue starts in Limsa Lominsa. Hither, you'll discover the Fishermen's Society and its eclectic cast of characters. In order to bring together the guild, you must have at least one Disciple of War or Magic class at level 10 or above. That'southward it — albeit with the disclaimer that unless you've chosen Marauder, Rogue, or Arcanist, you lot'll also accept to make it far enough into the main scenario to really achieve Limsa Lominsa in the offset place.

Prioritize Main Quests

Final Fantasy 14 offers some sweet rewards for exploring Eorzea'southward every nook and cranny, but it also provides richly for sticking to the straight and narrow. Whenever you've reached the required level for a new Fisher quest, you should prioritize it above all else. Non only are principal quests a terrific source of experience — the signal of this guide! — but yous will larn cracking level-advisable gear that will assist to limit your gil expenses.

To that cease, we'll chart your form at present with a total list of Fisher job quests from 1 to 70. Beyond 70, things get a flake different, and then we'll get over that on its own.

Crystarium and Studium Deliveries

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

With Crystarium Deliveries, each Disciple of the Paw and Land is given multiple quests, at set level intervals, with each quest requiring that six of a specific particular or items be turned in. (Hence "deliveries.") About not-combat classes are separate between just four NPCs at the Crystarium, just Fishers get the beasty boy Frithrik (pictured above) all to themselves. Isn't that nice? We think it's overnice.

Crystarium Deliveries net plenty of experience points. Don't exist surprised to find that y'all're practically soaring through your seventies. Bolster your leveling with some Sea Line-fishing or conventional grinding to hit 80 in no time.

At fourscore, Crystarium Deliveries are replaced with Studium Deliveries out in Onetime Sharlayan. The formula's more or less the same, with a new storyline involving another NPC who is, once again, wholly dedicated to the fine fine art of angling rather than splitting their expertise across several jobs.

Endwalker's Studium Deliveries, like their Shadowbringers forebears, will likely nab y'all well-nigh a level per quest advantage. (If non quite the full level, then reasonably close. Be certain to turn in high-quality items to ensure the maximum!)

Ocean Fishing is the Best Leveling Path

As nosotros've established, Body of water Line-fishing is the number 1 way to level Fisher quickly in Terminal Fantasy 14. What makes this so good? And how did Fishers even exist without its inflow in Shadowbringers five.2l? (Hint: they leveled merely similar any other Disciple of the Land grade, which seems then cutely quaint in retrospect.)

Players unlock Ocean Fishing equally soon every bit they become Fishers. No ruby-red tape, but gorgeous voyages. Speak with Fhilsnoe at the Fishermen'due south Gild, and he'll get things squared abroad. Every ii hours (real-time, mind you lot, not Eorzea Fourth dimension) the NPC named Dryskthota at the Limsa Lower Decks pier invites all athletic Fishers (that's u.s.) to hop aboard the Attempt and keep an ballsy line-fishing spree.

The Endeavour volition stop past diverse fundamental locations. At each location, players are given seven minutes to fish up as much equally possible. A vendor on the boat sells lures, including types that cannot exist obtained anyplace else. Seldom are they mandatory, but they scarcely feel necessary, either; employ your all-time judgment on this one.

Bounding main Fishing is so smashing for leveling because the experience gains scale with level. There's never a deadening moment to be found with the mechanic, as the point gains will be delightfully visible on your screen. Furthermore, while level one through l Body of water Line-fishing expeditions are "just" for leveling, higher ranges honour Gatherer's Scrips which can exist turned in for better gear, materia, and more.
