The Fish Ranking System

A new competition for fishermen (and fisherwomen) is set to arrive on Vana'diel with the next version update!

We have received several requests for a fish ranking system and have debated the issue for a considerable amount of time. After seeing the positive results of the Ballista Ranking system, we decided to make Fish Ranking a reality!

Many players have already held their own private fishing contests, but now everyone will have the opportunity to participate in a larger, official ranking event!

-After the version update, Fish Ranking will be available at the Fishermen's Guild in Selbina. After specifying the variety of fish to be used in the competition, the rules will be contested.

-Contest rules are changed periodically by the Fishermen's Guild. Winners may be chosen based on the weight or the size of their fish. The heaviest, largest fish does not always win, however. There is also a ranking to see who can catch the lightest fish, and another to see who can catch the smallest. Depending on the rules, participants may seek a large, heavy fish, or a small, light fish.

-After submission, each fish will be evaluated regardless of the method in which it was acquired. If you could not catch the fish required for the contest, you may want to try working with your linkshell members or other adventurers, or even buy the fish at the auction house. Contest winners will receive a new title and a modest award.

We hope you enjoy this new, competitive angle to fishing in Vana'diel! Be sure to check the FINAL FANTASY XI main page again after the version update for further details!

I think its added mostly for people who have fishing skill already.

While I like the idea, yet again it's SE putting it in SELBINA which is impossibly far away from everything lol. I'll probably get into this though, I really like fishing, makes me good gil too.

It makes sense that they'd put it in the port towns, given that fishing usually takes place in the port areas. Also, I think that this pokes the newer people (the xbox 360 group that's gonna come in sooner or later) to go and start fishing at an early age. . . Underaged Fishing ftw :O lol.

It'd be nice if they could do something like putting some of the NPC's in the port areas of the major cities. That way they can have something like the weather linkshell folks; and have it a server wide ranking system for fishing ranks.
