♥♥♥ BOBGOB ACQUIRED ♥♥♥

how did you all fare this window? if you weren't able to hook one, you're in luck-- there's another window up in ~12 hours and due to timezone shenanigans that means it still falls within Valentines Day but for the US and similar timezones, so you still have a shot at catching a Premium Valentiones' Bobgob for you and your paramour(s) this year ♥

[zenmai--jikake--no--komoriuta]

now that Bobgoblin Awareness Week has concluded, back to your regular blog programming! re-enabled my queue with a higher post flow to clear out the backlog from this week and I've got some oc memes I filled out for D'nyr to sprinkle in-between too, so here's to another good week of posts!

[zenmai--jikake--no--komoriuta]

back on my bullshit after this year's Bobgob Valentione's Appreciation Week-- for this week only, you too can be the owner of another ✨straightforward big fish✨!

short and sweet guide by the ever amazing FruitySnacks here-- good luck! ☆

-------------

• LOCATION: Eastern La Noscea, Hidden Falls (31.3, 22.7) • TIME/CONDITIONS: 17:00 - 20:00, every day • MIN REQUIREMENTS: You must be a Lv.50 FSH AND have 345+ Gathering stat • BEST BAIT: Honey Worms • SPECIFIC TIME FOR YOUR TIMEZONE: Open Carbuncle Plushy's wonderful Fish Tracker App and click the little cogwheels in the top right corner, then click on every expac name to deselect them; then click ONLY the button for 2.3 and exit out, and you should see our fishy friend somewhere down the list! It should automatically display the correct time for your timezone, but you can hover over "in X hours" and it will show you a more specific time-- also be sure to click the pin on the left to keep the fish locked up top for easier viewing :) As is usual for big fish, you'll need to exercise some {Patience} as it might not even show up during your window! (personally I've gone 3 now with no sign of it; just gotta keep at it!)

less than an hour to go until the first Valentiones' Bobgob window! meet you all down by the river, on the island below ☆

[zenmai--jikake--no--komoriuta]

the second (and last) Valentiones' Bobgob window is nearly up! ♥

this is your last chance to snag a one-of-a-kind, Premium Valentiones' Bobgob for you and your loved ones this year! (the fish is up all year 'round of course, but the chances of it falling on Valentiones to be able to make this dumb joke again are probably pretty slim, so don't miss out-- it's an easy catch!)

the final window is officially over! thank you all for joining me in spreading the word of Bobgoblin Awareness Week-- hopefully you all had an easy catch ♥

# of known Bobgobs caught from this campaign: 8! definitely more but I haven't heard about those yet!

[zenmai--jikake--no--komoriuta]

here we are! day #7 of Bobgoblin Awareness Week!! it's finally here!!!

if YOU TOO want to have a good shot at hooking a bobgob of your own, you're in luck; I've collated a short guide for you below!

I hope you've all enjoyed this impromptu campaign (it's had wayyy more reach than I thought it would ever get; I'm glad my shitty jokes brought a smile to you all!), good luck with your fishing and I hope your loved ones will be on the receiving end of a lovely bobgob today-- depending on timezone, your Valentiones' Approved Bobgob™ will either be up in a few hours or just over a day away, but there's a bobgob coinciding with the real-world Valentines' date for every timezone this year ♥ ALSO! if you enjoy fishing in FFXIV then check out FishFest 2024 which will be commencing on Feb 24th! There will be panels, streams, fish trains and other fun fishtivities for both FSH mains and players without a sub alike, so do check back soon :D

-------------------- Here's what you need to know/have prepared in advance for this particular Valentiones' window:

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS: You must be a Lv.60 FSH AND have 750+ Gathering stat AND have the Tome of Ichthyological Folklore - Dravania to attempt this fish! (the latter can be bought with x125 White Gatherer's Scrips from the vendors listed in the link)

BAIT: x2-3 Goblin Jigs (you can also use Brute Leeches if desired!)

MACRO: It's not strictly necessary, but it's very handy to have a 17-second macro to help weed out some of the fish! (you can make your own using Fruity Snacks' pastebin as a base, then just Hook back in once it hits 17s and try again!)

SPECIFIC TIME FOR YOUR TIMEZONE: Open Carbuncle Plushy's wonderful Fish Tracker App and click the little cogwheels in the top right corner, then click on every expac name to deselect them; then click ONLY the button for 3.4 and exit out, and you should see our fishy friend near the top of the list! It should automatically display the correct time for your timezone, but you can hover over "in X hours" and it will show you a more specific time :)

------------------- Now for the actual strategy! Rather than regurgitate the better info out there, I'm instead going to link you to one of Fruity Snacks' amazing guides depending on your situation:

FIRST THINGS FIRST: How much time do YOU have left before the window?? If it's >10 minutes then follow option A; if running low on time then follow option B!

OPTION A: Arrive early and prepare 10 Angler's Art stacks by catching fish under Patience I or II, then follow along with page 109 of A Fisher's Guide to Eorzea!

OPTION B: Haul ass to the river and cast out with Patience II to hook a Sweetfish with Powerful Hookset, then follow Fruity's youtube guide!

------------------- Follow your chosen guide and your heart, keep mooch-looping those Sweetfish and you should easily land the big one today for you and your beloved ♥

(but if you're not successful in hooking one, click the Fish Eyes buff icon in the top right of the Fish Tracker App to see when your next opportunity will be-- then try again using your Fish Eyes skill! even a non-Valentiones' Bobgob is still a great fish!!)

today's fishy reminder: make sure you have a copy of the Tome of Ichthyological Folklore - Dravania beforehand or you won't be able to try for the Bobgob! You can buy it with x125 White Gatherer's Scrip (or x5 Blue Gatherer's Scrip Tokens if you still have some lying around!) from the vendors listed in that link!
