Tutorial: Legendary Fishing Overnight - saikai90 - 01-18-2015 Hello all, so lately I've been trying to get into fishing some legendary fish... and looking through the forums I've noticed some very useful tools that can help you achieve this goal. Needless to say I've also seen a lot of people asking for the same thing over and over again, as well as wanting a fully functional bot that does absolutely everything for them... As Ace mentioned (12-30-2014, 03:54 PM)Ace Wrote: There's no like, "legendary auto-fish mode", or anything That being said, there are some nice tools at our disposal that can help us try and get our legendary fish overnight. Step One As far as I know you can only fish in one map using the bot. There is no way to teleport map and start fishing on a different map. In other words, pick just one map. Edit: This might change soon! earisu is working on a TaskManager which allows the bot to teleport form map to map and gather in each according to how you set it up. I have not personally tried it out, but it can definately help towards achieving a "legendary auto-fish mode". Check it out here at [Release] TaskManager - Updated [2015-01-13] Step Two Knowing that you will be fishing in one map alone, you'll have to determine 2 characteristics of your legendary fish
You can figure this out by using http://en.ff14angler.com/timetable.php/ **This image has been altered/cropped/chopped/cut/pasted/punched and kicked... you will not see the table exactly like this one if you put same settings as shown in the picture.** Play around with it and you will understand it, it's really easy to figure out Step Three 24 Hour Based
If the legendary fish you wish to catch while you sleep in your Domo pajamas is a weather based fish that can spawn 24/7 but requires the proper weather.
This is the easy one! Simply make TWO markers in DIFFERENT fishing holes. One set to 1620 and the other set to 180. This is an example I made for Silver Sovereign and Mahi-Mahi in order to work on CUL desynth, based off on bandit420's suggestion. Set Config (will spend 57 minutes here) Reset Config (will go fish here to reset main marker so you wont get "fish sense something amiss" or wtvr, for 3 minutes) IMPORTANT NOTE Be sure that your Marker Mode is set to Marker List, and that under your Marker List you only display these two markers. This will allow the bot to cycle to these two markers every hour! Specific Hour Based
If the legendary fish you wish to catch while you dream of a zombie apocalypse where you make Costco your main fort as it has everything... is based on a specific hour frame but also requires the proper weather.
This one might be a little trickier as it requires you to fish at only a specific time frame... but thankfully drewlt wrote a code that can help us out here (click here to see the post) Instructions are as follows:

Now the reason I suggest using this module is because many people dislike getting all those trash fish that fill up inventory, or they simply don't have enough room (Why? IDK) in their inventory and would like only to catch that ONE fish. Sadly at the moment this module will allow you to catch ONLY ONE fish (the fish whose name is typed into the Target field). drewlt is currently working on making some adjustments to this so please look forward to it! Please remember that you don't have to use this module! It is merely an option for fishing overnight to get ONE fish and get rid of all the trash! Be noted that NQ is by obvious reason easier and more common than HQ. Alright so now we have a tool that can help us with this Specific Hour Based Legendary Fish ... or SHBLF for short. What you will want to do next is similar to what I mentioned in the 24 Hour Based section, however you will have to play with the Times for the waymarkers now in a more astute manner. The idea is to have your bot coincidentally be fishing at the proper hole at the proper Eorzean hour every Eorzean day, for the entirety of the time frame for your legendary fish. How do we do that? Simple:
Let me show you an example: I'm going to pick Cupfish because he is too adorable. Now looking at the timetable at ff14angler.com I can see that it can spawn at 17:00-19:00 Eorzean Time AND also at 21:00 Eorzean Time. Great! Now next step is to see how much time each Eorzean Hour is... so I'll go now into gamerescape and check the Eorzean Time Units and Conversions So it says that each Eorzean Hour is equivalent to 2 minutes and 55 seconds... Lets convert that into seconds only *beep* *boop* *beep* it equals 175 seconds! Great! So now I know that for the time frame of 17:00 to 19:00 (2 Eorzean Hours) it will equal.... *beep* *boop* *beep* 350 seconds of fishing! Now the timetable says there is a gap of 2 Eorzean Hours until you can try and catch it again... well we already know that 2 Eorzean Hours is 350 seconds. So lastly for the time frame of 21:00-22:00 Eorzean Time that you can fish again to try and get the cute Cupfish it will be 175 seconds. Also consider how much time will go by from the moment you finish (in this case 22:00 ET) until the moment you should start fishing for that legendary fish again (17:00 ET). In other words, from 22:00 ET until 17:00 ET there are 19 Eorzean Hours, which equals to *beep* *boop* *beep* 3325 seconds. So we have the following times to consider:
Now these are the times (in earth seconds) you will want to keep in mind when configuring your marker times. IMPORTANT NOTE There are a LOT of different ways you can go about doing this! I will simply share the one I find less messy. Alright so first I'm going to configure the marker for the times the fish IS available in the fishing hole. Since the time spam of from the first time to the 2nd time it's available is really not that long, it will be convenient to just have the bot fish in that 5 hour period as you will most definately not get the "fish sense a disturbance in the force" wtvr thing. Notice in the Fish window that I specify:
Now I will place a second marker over at my next closest fishing hole Notice on Edit Marker window that I specify:
This is just to reset your counter should you leave the bot running a LOOONG time. Now ideally with the tools we currently have, you would want to keep your bot in this spot until your next time frame for legendary fish is up. I don't really feel like doing some calculations on how much time it takes me to travel from one fishing hole to the next and how much time you want to be in the hole before your legendary fish spawns and after it stops spawning. In other words, use your head and do simple math based on your unique scenario and legendary fish and holes and etc... Remember that one Eorzean day is 70 minutes! So for this particular example, my fish has a time frame of 875 seconds in which I want to spend catching it... the rest of the Eorzean day is free time to waste for the bot (3325 seconds). So knowing this you will have to take into account how much time it takes your bot to travel from point A to point B, how much extra time would you like to give your bot to be at the proper fishing hole before the legendary fish spawns and after. Code: Now, I previous I said I would comment on: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This has been fixed in the attachment, it will now allow you to catch various fish that you input (HQ also), everything else you don't want will be Released! I didn't comment much on the weather variable... because well atm there isn't a proper tool to help the bot know if the fish will be available or not during its time frame with the proper weather. But fear not! Miter is currently working on a tool to help with this, atm the tool correctly connects to http://en.ff14angler.com/skywatcher/ to check weather conditions and displays what Big Fish are available at the moment! It's really cool, I'll post link below!

Happy Fishing! Edit:
