Fisher is unlocked in Limsa Lominsa at the Fisherman’s Guild after completing your Lv10 Disciple of War or Magic job quest. After talking to the guild attendant you’ll get your first fishing rod, and can start your first quest “My First Fishing Rod.” In this quest you’ll catch five lominsan anchovy for Sisipu using Lugworm as bait.
Apply Lugworm to your rod by using the Bait skill to open the bait and tackle window, then selecting Lugworm. Once you’ve done that, cast out and use hook whenever a fish bites, indicated by a !, !! or !!! over your characters head.
If you need new gear or bait, you can talk to various vendors and merchants across the world. Certain fish only bite (or bite more regularly) on certain baits, and some baits can only be used in certain fishing biomes. Check the description to know which bait works were.
Be sure to continue your job quests! You can level by ocean fishing, overworld fishing, doing Leves, or even Grand Company Turn-ins.
Good luck and happy fishing!

My man is single handedly doing god's work helping out new fishers.
So far you've helped me catch quite a few big fishes, including Cinder.
Godspeed Fruity, keep up the great work!
3:29 😢but I’ve been trying to get this big fish forever and it keeps telling me the fish got away. Now I have to catch two more Mora Tecta.
FISHER is the BEST JOB in the game!!! According to me as 'THE FINAL FISH'!!!
Why did you post this!? As someone that has gotten every fish, this video is dangerous! Someone could start…start fishing! Quick, it isn't too late, take this down before someone loses every waking hour of their lives to fishing!
Its also a great way to make new friends as you suffer together working in a big fish window.
Just read the community highlight which discussed your passion for fishing, and all about the community of fishers, which got me inspired to pursue fishing in-game! Perfect time to watch this video 🙂
Iron Thunder sells gear, you got the vendors mixed up I think :3
Instructions unclear, I fell into the water and BECAME THE FISH!!!!!!!!!!! owo
who cares about the ultimates and their "…Legend" titles…everyone knows fishing is the real ultimate and "Big/Final Fish" is the way to go.
