Sometimes Final Fantasy XIV can fuck off.

Quest said to go to Bloodshore and catch a fish that only comes near the shore at nighttime. FFXIV doesn’t tell you what kinds of fish are at what locations until you catch them, but it marks a ??? for fish that can only be caught at a certain time or with a certain weather condition. All the locations in Bloodshore have one ??? fish, so I figured they all had the fish I needed.

I caught fish after fish at North Bloodshore at night, none of them the one I needed. Then I gave up and looked at the wiki. The fish I needed are at a bunch of Bloodshore locations, but North Bloodshore has a completely different ??? fish with different requirements. Nothing in the game itself fucking told me I was wasting my time—all it said was to go to Bloodshore!
