Honestly i've had more success on catching fleeting brands around 13-15 seconds instead of just 13 seconds, in fact I've been catching more after the 13 second mark contrary to what the first comment says. SO i made a macro that makes catching this fish way easier

The Macro

/ac "Cast"<wait.10>
/e 11<wait.1>
/e <se.2>
/e 12<wait.1>
/e <se.2>
/e 13 Fleeting Brand(!!) <wait.1>
/e <se.7>
/e 14<wait.1>
/e <se.2>
/e 15 <wait.1>
/ac "Powerful Hookset"
/echo Fleeting Brand(!!) <se.7>
/echo Fleeting Brand(!!)

Typically you want to do patience II first and then the macro, the macro will warn you around the 11th sec that its about to be 13 secs so pay attention!!! if you see ur rod pull on the 13th sec or after then push the button for powerhookset.

I find using the macro i made is just more consistent in catching fleeting brands as they can spawn after 13 seconds. try it for yourself and tell me how it goes

I found it more affective to have the timer set to 13 seconds and to just use surface slap if I caught a Regotoise. Waiting until 15 seconds causes you to miss out on more Fleeting Brand.

Macro:
/ac "Cast"
<wait.13>
/echo Fleeting Brand(!!) <se.7>
/echo Fleeting Brand(!!)

If you are in 620 gathering gear, each catch is above 579 so using Prize Catch is not worth it imo as you are already at max white scripts with a 573+ catch and saving that 200GP allows for more use of Patience II and Identical Cast without waiting.

Rotation:

Buff = Patience II

Macro (see above)
!! Powerful Hookset
- if Regotoise, surface slap and start the macro again
- if Fleeting Brand, use Identical Cast and then the macro again

Rinse and repeat using Hi-Cordial and Thaliak's Favor when available.

Need 573++ collectibility to get the max amount of white scrips (108)

It can be mooched from Calicia as well!

I've had excellent experience farming these for scrip. Versatile Lure, using Chum for speed, and Identical Cast + Prize Catch. Use Hi-Cordials as needed, as you'll make far more scrip than you use (in terms of the cost of the cordials). Can get 2000 scrip worth of fish in 20-30 min.

This fishing spot is underground, fly out into the crater and look back towards the wall and you'll see the entrance

You want to use Versatile Lure on this, as it's easier to identify. between 13-20s after cast Fleeting will be a !! bite.

/ac "Cast"
<wait.15>
/echo Fleeting Brand(!!) <se.7>
/echo Fleeting Brand(!!)

Regotoise in the same window Surface Slap it if you want to
