I'm also MelodicBlue, but I have Sprout pals & I try to keep them un-spoilered, so late game stuff is here. Unhinged about #Norvrandt, #EorzeanMuseums, but also #LoveAndDeepspace

Verily have I found kindness and companionship in equal measure amidst my fellow fishers, ever a balm against the harsh sting of fate; for thou canst execute thy stratagem with neither stumble nor flaw and yet, still fail. 💜

Oh noooo! It took me 37+consecutive windows for my first Salad bite and catch. I got asked a lot if I had the book (which thankfully, I did--my RNG is just sometimes utterly abysmal, and it had to balance out my first-window egg catch)

If I ever write The Ballad of Copper Shark, that's definitely going in. Nearly 2 hours of fishing within 3 yalms of Fruity before I finally made a comment about never seeing the lure-proc message, and of course he asks, "Mel...do you have the book?"
I did not.
I did not.

If it were me, the old one would appear the moment I open the packaging on the new one, making it unreturnable.

YES. Also similar thought on Sylus' nose with LaDS art. Man has a GLORIOUS nose. Let him keep it.

You were absolutely wonderful to work with, and I hope we can do so again! There are a lot of fish to sing about in this game 🤣

Ooh--looking closer at right side of the second image (gotta keep the eyes moving past the slutty little choker lol) and you can see a stitched X on the lapel near the top, like the back-side of a sewn-on button; that lines up with the presumed button hole on the other side.

I believe what you have flagged as elastic ties in the first image might actually be button-holes with stitching in a slightly lighter green thread to reinforce the edges of the button holes

I host this derby every year as a fun community event, and to give everyone a chance to practice and learn new fishing techniques and ways of thinking about fishing. It's just as much an entertainment event as it is educational.

It also encourages group collaboration to ensure there are enough people going for fish to make sure a small one is caught - adding a community and social aspect to the event.

This challenge gets fishers thinking about their skill usage and what gear they should use.
Normally used skills, like Patience and Prize Catch, can't be used in some cases, forcing fishers to change how they normally approach a fish.

And for those who are just starting to follow along - this is the Fishcord Fishing derby. A challenge I put out to the #FFXIV fishing community every year.
This year, they have to catch EVERY big+legendary fish in ARR -> EW beneath a certain size threshold.
