    Um... No?

    It's only Day 2 and my record is already 284 cm, which is really close and i'm sure i'll get mine until event ends.

    Unless, you are in Nao then i have no idea how bad is there. Alexina only have 10 players who managed to fish up 300 cm or bigger. Biggest so far is 309 cm.

    The Rankings is a «Luck» based Event (and I am not referring to the Character-Stats)... given my «Luck» I can probably expect to never see any 300cm+ Fishies even if I were to use up every single piece of Bait available throughout the whole entire event... however, considering that this is Mabi, I have no need or reason to worry about missing out on too much, considering how it's always been back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back Events ever since the beginning of this game's very release. With so many «freebies» or even high-end rewards for little or minimal «work» required you can always find some way to progress.

    Has anyone cashed in a 260+ fish? What do you get for it? The description doesn't say what you get for one and, from what I've read, the rewards for this event are kinda meh. Like the old joke about dogs, I'm really only doing it because I can.

    You get a quest which asks you to fish up 300 cm. And the reward for completing the quest is a title "Fishing Savant".

    Just caught my new record: 296 cm.

    Get fishing to r1 and find a second title for fishing or/and Adonis set and you are good to go.

    Because of the Nishida Fishing Event, a lot of the older playerbase had an easy road to Rank 1 fishing by way of SkipAFishingRank potion spam.

    It's pretty likely that anyone wearing a nishida or ice-fisher title already has rank1 fishing and hence catch bigger fish

    Okay, thanks. I know one of the NPCs seems to imply where you fish matters, so maybe there are "sweet spots"?

    I've mastered fishing and my biggest is 228cm after 700 bait, mind you I'm not wearing any of my fancy-shmancy fishing titles and I'm using a regular fishing rod; maybe I'll give those a try.

    It would be quite important to wear a fishing title if you want to hit 300+. Without a title, it would be impossible with autofishing alone due to the 90% size multiplier penalty.

    I've been using a Shenon one that "Increases Automatic Fishing Success" and "Increases Chance to Catch Bigger Fish" but I also have Anastasia/Re:Zero (Which only gives Automatic Fishing Success) and Ice Fisher (Same as Shenon apparently)

    I Recc U use a sized boosted reforge fishing rod as well. It's best to have a few around for fishing events.

    Protip: spam norm reforge on fishing rods till U get desired effect.

    I have a ice fisher 2nd title.

    Not only does it increase size but pretty much made rank1 fishing "never" fail for me. Never failed once yet so it could be true.
