Used in Patch 6.1 CUL recipes, Calamari Ripieni and Kalamarakia Tiganita, Thavnairian Calamari is a straight forward catch in – you guessed it – Thavnair. Catchable (easily!) with both Mackerel Strips and Versatile Lure, you’d be wasting gil if you weren’t fishing this up yourself.

🦑 Catching Calamari
Arrive at the Perfumed Tides with Mackerel Strips or Versatile lure if on a budget. (See one of my Purple Scrip farming guides below for getting Mackerel Strips!). Cast out. Thavnairian Calamari is a !! bite, between ~7-10s on a macro timer. It’s recommended (strongly) to reel in at 10s on the timer, if you have not gotten a !! bite. You can do this by simply using Hook.
If you are using Versatile Lure, cancel cast at 12s, instead of 10s.
Once you catch a Calamari, and GP permitting, use Identical Cast and then Double or Triple Hook to catch 2 and 3 more Calamari, respectively.

Thanks <3 !!
what are the average/min stats for it?
Which folklore book is needed?
This is an amazing guide, thank you for the video and swift effort
no luck for me
Thank you for the guide. I was trying this without the area book 🙁 Also, which rod is that? It's very cool =) Is it still attainable?
I'm new to Macro's how do I do that timer countdown thing?
I have the folklore book, have the new gather gear pentamelded, used both baits and patience, patience II, snagging and without and I cannot catch this fish. Suggestions?
Can the hook at 10sec be put into the timer macro or should it be done manually?
Doesn't seem to work for me, pulling it back in at 10s and never catching anything.
Edit. NVM I didn't have the folklore books, works fine xD
You might wish to add something in the description: in my experience, this fish is almost always a near-instant biter. Any bite that takes longer than 5 seconds will invariably be the Narunnairian Octopus.
Also, I'd personally advise against using Identical Cast since it costs a lot of CP. Instead, once you've narrowed down the exact biting time of this fish, focus on using Double Hook.
