Anyone notice that you can get double skill ups on one fish with the enchantment on ?

"any "fish? does this work on fish you can't normally get skill ups on? (over cap)



- I don't know, I'm dubtful. exactly the description says "increase rate at which fishing skill is gained". That lead me to think that you actualy have to be in a condition to gain skill. I've just tried 1 charge of it (20 min for a total of 19 cathces) all under cap and got 0,00 skill up. will test more. EdIT: tested another 20 min (20 catches) got 2 skill up but both on fish over cap --Mira el dito 17:38, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

- did some more extended testing over 60 charges used: the rate of skill up on over cap fish is almost tripled. wish to point out that did those testing in 5 skill lvl span on the same two kinds of fish. WITHOUT Had an avareage of 0,0084 skill (1,9 total over more than 200 fish) up per fish where only 5,3% of fish catched gave a skill up (no matter if 0,1 0,2 or 0,3) WITH Had an avareage of 0,025 skill (3,8 total over 150 fish) up per fish where 15,5% of fish catched gave a skill up (no matter if 0,1 0,2 or 0,3). only get double skill up out of a single fish twice.

considering the increased rate of skill up and considering that on the almost 40 fish under cap I've fished with enchatment I got no skill up, I think i safe to say that doesn't give skill up on fish you cant normaly skill up gona edit main page with the note --Mira el dito 11:54, 4 June 2009 (UTC)


Out of pure curiosity, is fishing the only "craft" that has a ring that does this? I know fishing skill ups come far and few between and that's why this ring is really awesome however, can anyone say they wouldn't mind having a ring like this for their craft?

Fishing is the only craft with this sort of ring. Of course fishing is also the only craft that would need such a ring in the first place. The other crafts, with the exception of some enhancements, have been virtually untouched since FFXI started. Fishing however has undergone some serious changes as well as nerfs to go with the enhancements. SE probably decided to add the ring due to how much more limited a fisherman's ability to skill up has become. --Tarto 08:02, September 26, 2009 (UTC)


Turns out, you can use two charges, I was wrong! --Talila 18:19, November 6, 2010 (UTC)
