Ishgardian Restoration Fishing

Public
I’m a casual player, who wanted to try to get a title from Ishgardian Restoration without having to maximize time or attention to it. I have a decent macro for the 80 craft turn-ins, but the skybuilders’ points weren’t that great for them. I’m undergeared to get full credit for the expert turn-ins, and they don’t lend themselves to macros. MIN/BTN are fine, but I wanted to minimize chasing nodes.

I still have the Swallowskin (430) gathering set, and can catch everything, although some of the weather fish get away sometimes (currently 1600 gathering, 1304 perception, and 785 GP - Facet not required for FSH).

My main strategy is to park on Calm Cloudtop (29, 31) and target Grade 2 Artisanal Skybuilders' Gobbie Mask[1]. When multi-tasking, I’ll stay here all the time (optimal for points). To help get rare MIN/BTN materials and to progress Dauntless Treader III, I normally fly to clouded nodes as soon as they spawn in Umbral weather. After mining/harvesting, I switch back to FSH[2] and fly to the fishing hole for that weather:
* Umbral Flare go to Blustry Cloudtop (30, 9), bait Diadem Balloon Bug
* Umbral Duststorm go to Calm Cloudtop (29, 31), bait Diadem Red Balloon
* Umbral Levin go to Swirling Cloudtop (13, 23), bait Diadem Crane Fly. Do NOT mooch.
* Umbral Tempest go to Windswept Cloudtop (25, 16), bait Diadem Hoverworm. Do NOT mooch.

Each hole has one fish that is restricted to an Umbral weather (worth 50 scrip, 175 points, and contributing to achievement). Blustery and Calm have fish mooched from Grade 2 Skybuilders' Cloud Cutter (worth 40 scrip and 1580 points). Blustery’s high point fish is a !!, which unfortunately is indistinguishable from two other !! mooches. All fish at Swirling and Windswept can be caught directly, but they each have a fish worth 15 scrip and 150 points.

Ren™ posted a great lazy fishing macro on the Fisherman’s Horizon Discord[1]. You can use this to cast, hook, mooch, and recast with one button on Calm Cloudtop to try to get Grade 2 Artisanal Skybuilders' Gobbie Mask. If you can pay attention to the screen, double hook all ! you get while mooching to double your yield. With rumble turned up on a controller, this is a one button fishing solution.

For more data, the spreadsheet probably has everything you are looking for (other than some cast times)

This macro is tuned for Gobbiemasks. If you catch a HQ Grade 2 Skybuilders' Blind Manta or Grade 2 Skybuilders' Vampiric Tapestry, the macro won’t re cast for you. If you increase the wait to accommodate the longer animation allow for an automated recast, you will have fewer fishing opportunities- just hit the macro again to cast.

2. Go Fish basically just switches you to FSH and turns on Truth of Mountains and Truth of Forests. Put it on a shared hotbar.

To do this efficiently you need above 2000 gathering which guarantees nothing gets away, otherwise you will lose the higher point fish a lot . This of course means overmelding and HQ super gathering food.

I catch more of the weather fish than get away. I get all of the Rhoms and Gobbies. I know I should upgrade my left-side, but Ishgard is taking priority over gathering mats for Facet. I don’t want to overmeld until I have “best” gear. I’ll likely wait on gathering tools as well, as Yoshi mentioned in his live letter that Skybuilders’ tools will be about the same as pentamelded crafted when released in 5.25, but will augment in future patches. I’ve been eating Peppered Popatoes and Mushroom Sauté
