Strategies for obtaining 8,000 Ocean Fishing Points in the FFXIV Ultimog Challenge

In conjunction with the First Search for the Genesis Moogle Treasure Trove FFXIV players face unique difficulties in the Mogpendium tournament. Players must get 8000 points in Ocean Fishing to complete Part One of the Ultimog Challenge. Though it seems difficult, we have some advice to get you through it.

The fundamentals of sea fishing

Before you go off on a voyage, make sure your inventory is empty. You will probably catch a lot more fish than what can fit on one inventory tab, and you do retain the fish after you exit the voyage. You may sell them to merchants, list them for sale on the Market Board, or use them to make prints for your home or apartment. The choice is yours. They work well for gathering clusters and grinding desynth as well.

Ascertain that you have bait! I can't say enough how important this is. Nothing is more frustrating than boarding the Endeavor and having to rush to buy bait from the onboard NPC, which results in lost fishing time. Believe me.

The seller on the Voyage Pier sells ocean fishing bait. The three varieties of ocean fishing bait are ragworm, krill, and plump worm. Depending on the location, a certain type of bait will work best for you to score the maximum points.

Location	Bait
Bloodbrine Sea	Krill
The Cieladaes	Ragworm
Galadion Bay	Plump Worm
Rhotano Sea	Plump Worm
Rothlyt Sea	Plump Worm
Southern Merlthor	Krill
Northern Merlthor	Ragworm
Sirensong Sea	Plump Worm
Kugane Coast	Ragworm
Ruby Sea	Krill
One River	Krill

Other kinds of bait, like the Versatile Lure, are also an option, but if you're going for the crucial 8,000 points, you should utilize the baits listed above to increase your chances.

How to get points when fishing in the ocean

A giant fish is worth twice as many points as an ordinary fish. Points are awarded for each fish you capture, and these points sum up to a final score before bonuses are applied.You may earn these bonuses alone or in a group, and they will raise your score by extra points. But because you won't discover them until after the Voyage is over, it's a good idea to attempt to get as close to 8,000 as you can with only your fish.

Current Spectral Analysis

There are certain fish on each route that, if caught, have a slight possibility of starting a spectral current. Even if you manage to capture the necessary number of fish, there's no assurance that you'll set off the Spectral Current. This fish can only be caught by one member of the Voyage party, and that player's name will appear in a pop-up window.On the other hand, if the Spectral Current is activated, this presents a huge point-gaining opportunity, since not only are Spectral Current fish worth more points per se, but You reel and cast considerably more quickly in order for you to swiftly capture a great deal of fish.The Spectral Fish and the necessary bait for capturing them are listed below for each location:

Location	Fish	Bait
Galadion Bay	Spectral Megalodon	Krill
Southern Merlthor	Spectral Discus	Krill
Northern Merlthor	Spectral Sea Bo	Ragworm
Rhotano Sea	Spectral Bass	Plump Worm
Cieldalaes	Spectral Butterfly	Ragworm
Bloodbrine Sea	Spectral Eel	Krill
Rothlyt Sound	Spectresaur	Plump Worm
Sirensong Sea	Spectral Coelacanth	Plump Worm
Kugane Coast	Spectral Wrasse	Krill
Ruby Sea	Spectral Snake Eel	Krill
One River	Spectral Kotsu Zetsu	Plump Worm
