How do I get started?

Finding/Forming a Party

• Every objective but Sticking it to the Manta and Shrimp Smorgasbord is best attempted with a premade, full 8-person party of Lv. 80 - 90 fishers for Indigo achievements, and Lv. 90 fishers for Ruby achievements. Parties are sometimes made for the solo/individual achievements as well for spectral current control, but are not required, and if you do make/join one for it you do not need it to be a full party.
• All objectives can and have been completed in parties of less than 8 people. Jelled Together and Maritime Dragonslayers are the ones easiest to successfuly complete with smaller parties.
• Before the time for registration on your target route begins, set up or search for a party under the Gathering Forays section of the Party Finder. Parties often start forming 15 - 30 minutes before registration begins.

• It is a good idea, especially if you are the party leader, to ensure that everyone who joins the party is aware of what the objective is before queueing.
• Mikah Tayuun (no relation) has made macros covering each objective that can be used to quickly and simply share stop-by-stop information with your party that can be posted in the party chat beforehand and/or at the beginning of each stop.

Queueing Up

• Registration ends 15 minutes past the hour when it opens. Your party can queue as late as 14m59s past the hour with one non-standard Duty Finder language option selected to increase the odds that you are not paired with other fishers outside your party.
• If playing on an NA or JA data centre, D or F are the best options. If playing on an EU data centre, J is the best option.
• This is not required but provides for greater control over spectral currents, allowing you to avoid undesired ones and to get the desired ones (if they proc) extended to 3 minutes from the normal spectral current length of 2 minutes.
• To change your Duty Finder language settings: open the Duty Finder and click the cogwheel in the top left. The Duty Finder Settings window will open. Select one non-English language at the bottom and hit Confirm. Only the party leader needs to do this.

• Queueing late (10+ minutes past when registration opens) with limited Duty Finder language settings is the most likely way to get a solo/party only boat, but it is not guaranteed. If other players queued with the same options selected as you/your party, you will get paired with them.
• If your party is paired with other players, it's advised that you inform them of your party's objective if you are attempting to control spectral currents. The best thing you can do when paired with random players is to state your goal and politely ask them to go along with it. Keep in mind that random players you are queued with have no obligation to work with your party. Players may attempt to get a small/solo boat in order to focus ★★★★★ fish or just out of preference and might have goals that conflict with yours. If they do not help or proc a current you do not want, this is not a reportable offence or something that ruins an objective. Spectral current extensions were added in patch 5.4 and the jellyfish, seadragon, shark, and octopus objectives have existed since patch 5.2. These objectives were all possible without extensions, and so are any of the others.
• If you do this, don't forget to return your Duty Finder language settings back to what they normally are afterwards.
