Thanks for the reply - I'm on my way to this title but have been pvping lots recently so was concerned something had changed as a previous post by Tandor confused me - thought he was saying that the different types of blue fish can appear in any water - but having re-read the posts think I misunderstood.

Good luck to you, it can take a really long time but it can be a good time with friends

You have inspired me to finish getting master angler on my main

Congratulations! That is very impressive.

Now, one think I have to say, is that getting rare fish is MUCH easier if you are fishing with two other people. That is particularly useful in dangerous areas like Cyrodiil.

Indeed it is better rng with multiple people, for cyrodiil there is actually a trick you can use. If you go into sneak and throw the bobber into the water while going into sneak, you will stay hidden until you reel in. You can see alot of that in the video.

Yeah, I've used that trick in IC.

If you have non-AD characters (sorry, I didn't watch the video), did you manage to swim to the Bravil side to get the Ocean Fish in Cyrodiil?

All 12 of my characters are pact, and yeah i did go to Bravil and use those fishing holes. What i do to easily get there is use rapid maneuver while mounted and jump as far as possible with my horse and then swim the rest of the distance. I usually make it there with around 40% hp or so

I just started my master angler journey on PS4 so wish me luck!

Im doing it on PS4 and am yet to try the fish-eye food. What exactly does it do?

*BTW anyone doing it on ps4 use headphones and do something else - read, watch videos, study etc
You will hear a tugging noise and eventually you'll just know when to reel in.
Also make sure you have auto loot on so when running between spots you can loot mats way easier

Sorry if thats the obvious but this isnt my field on eso haha

All it does is tell you the water type. No need for noise or vibration the tip of the rod is a sure indicator, it will Bob when nothing is happening then or nose dives. Neat little trick while other are fishing.

Quite some time ago I did some fishing with a random enemy player in Imperial City like that. I was sneaking around and noticed that I could see a fishing line going into the fishing hole, but I couldn't see a person there. So I stealthily approached and cast my own line, while preparing to possibly be attacked by him. We sat there fishing until the hole was used up, only seeing each other briefly each time we reeled in & cast our lines. Somehow it was great fun.

Yup, i dont have any exact numbers but i made a few millions from this, which i will spend all at once when housing comes out haha

willlienellson · January 2017

I caught like 350+ fish without a Roe and was like "F' this".

But just want to clarify on something said upthread. Does water type and/or bait not make a difference any more? Can you catch blue fish anywhere? Or have I misunderstood.

I think i missunderstood the question at first. The type of bait you use does matter for different water types. For example, to catch ocean fish you need worms or chub, and for lake you need guts or minnow. I'd recomend this guide by @MissBizz , a really great tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mxsk_1kH7I8

So about that what.. 1.2% roe drop rate.... that's appalling.

Kudos though. I have 1 zone left....Ebonheart Cyro and I've done it..needless I cannot even get 5 mins there without being ganked at any hour of the day.

I never actually got ganked while fishing in cyrodiil, i would see players run past in the distance on their way to keeps or battle locations, but i always stayed out of the way and i often just go to campaigns where my alliance has most of the keeps.

One of my old guilds used to do fishing tournaments in Cyro. Basically we would split into 2 or 3 groups and see how many fish we could catch in an hour. We would do it in areas that were generally under a reasonable amount of fire. It was great fun, definitely the most fun I ever had fishing. It got real amusing when we would pick up people in Zone Chat LFG. They would come over the hill to find the crown and 30 other people huddled around a fishing hole.

Which zone was it? Some zones were in general "nicer" to me then others, if that makes any sense heh. My worst zone by far was cyrodiil, and the "nicest" in terms of completion time was always stormhaven.

On console trust me. No matter what campaign there is always 2 people at any spot in pact land just waiting to gank and tbag you. I may have to hire mercenaries to come protect me whilst I fish. Wonder how much that would cost?

Oh man, that one green ocean fish that has its rarity swapped with the blue took me a couple of days. Ugh.

akl77 · January 2017

Fishing should be like stardew valley, skill increases as your fishing level increases. You also get different fish lengths when caught. You also get different fish from type of weather to time of day and seasons. It's also a challenge to caught fish, not like ESO you can close your eyes and fish.

waterfairy · January 2017

You should get a special title...master baiter

Yeah, I never got ganked fishing in Cyrodiil or IC - used the stealth fishing technique (though not 100%, still better than just standing there). I did get killed once or twice while moving from water to water in IC, but got some kills, too.

Awesome on your achievement!
