Inside the Belly Rate

  • The generally posted rate of a 1% chance to obtain Shaper's Shawl from Zaldon seems too low, from my personal experience and the consensus of what I've read from others. There are always outliers who go 1/1XX+, but it seems like most people get it within a few dozen trades. I even went back through some of the old BG fishing threads, hoping to come up with a better idea and it's difficult to track, as you see the same few posters continuing to post and bitch when they're the outlier and not the norm.

    While I don't have a wall of data to post to back up a change, I don't think potential traders should be discouraged. The rate on this is definitely better than Opal Silk or Saber Shoot. - Lusiphur (talk) 01:52, 5 February 2022 (EST)

Nocturnal? (No)

I can confirm firsthand that this thing is not noctural, having caught one earlier today. There's a single report on a JP wiki that it is, and the bite rate's low enough that people may be fooled, but it's definitely not. Old FFXIAH posts confirm that (along with saying that there's a single report on a JP wiki etc etc...) and you can confirm it yourself with a bit of patience! -Staplerguy (talk) 19:40, 28 November 2024 (UTC)

  • Thanks for your testimony. I could tell from the edit and the uncited page on JP wiki that it was nonsense, but being conclusive is even more valuable. --Spicyryan (talk) 02:35, 29 November 2024 (UTC)
