Finally, with my snail-speed of fishing, I completed the achievement “A Fisher’s Life for Me: Eorzea” and received my Rod of the Luminary. Although it gives same Gathering and Perception as the rod rewarded from level 50 quest, I can really like Reduced Durability Loss +10.

I got the last sub category of fishing achievement, “Good Things Come to Those Who Bait: Black Shroud V” while fishing for my daily Timeworn map at Lake Tahtotl.

In all my fishing career (since the implementation of Achievements) I’ve fished 11309 times. I guess I spent too much time fishing in the places where there are no fishing Achievement, such as Coerthas and Mor Dhona, so I didn’t make it within the range of ~6,000 fish (1,920 per city) like it should be if you go straight from achievement to achievement for the rod.

Then, a visit to Jonathas, and the rod was mine!

Comparing the graphic between Halcyon Rod and Rod of the Luminary.

My new rod in action. I kind of wish it would be more shiny, though, hahaha.

But it does shine bright enough in the rain.

It also shines nicely if the angle is right.

Anyway, next goal for me will be to fish some Silver Sovereigns for the new rod that came with a patch not long ago ><;; Forager’s Fishing Rod does have yummy stats and I am so very drooling over it!
