The Minion can only be caught while under the effect of the Fisher Action “Snagging”. You generally want to use the Brute Leech ability, which can be bought using Gatherer’s White Scrips at any Collectible Vendor.

If you’re looking to avoid grinding for Scrips in order to purchase bait, there is an alternate option. You can purchase a “Versatile Lure” from the Merchant & Mender on the lower decks of Limsa Lominsa for 300 Gil. ..

The Lure can be used to catch fish in the Waters of Eorzea. It is a small, blue, plastic bucket with a hole in the center. The bucket has a green lightbulb on it and when you place it in water, the lightbulb will turn on. The fish that are caught with the Lure will have their scales shining brightly and they will be swimming around in circles.

Fishing is a popular pastime in many parts of the world, but it can be a challenging activity. If you’re new to fishing, be prepared to spend some time learning the basics. And remember: patience is key—fishing can be a rewarding experience if you take your time and are patient. ..

Patience is key to success in any field, but especially in the fishing industry. It’s not about having quick reflexes or being able to “catch a fish” quickly. It’s about being patient and waiting for the right opportunity.

Fishing For The Magic Bucket

The Magic Bucket Minion is notoriously difficult to catch. ..

It has an appearance rate of roughly 0.6%. That’s a measly rate.

  1. Dress for the weather – whether it’s a heavy coat or a light jacket, make sure you have the right gear to keep you warm.
  2. Bring snacks and drinks – even if you don’t plan on staying out too long, it’s always helpful to have something to eat and drink in case of an emergency.
  3. Bring a map and compass – knowing where you are and how to get back is essential when exploring new territory.
  4. Be prepared for emergencies – know how to start a fire, signal for help, and treat any injuries you might incur while outdoors. ..

Tip 1:

The Magic Bucket is a special item that only appears on a large tug, denoted by three exclamation points (!!!) above your character’s head. Only two other fish (Mountain Kraken & Captain Nemo) in South Banepool have this marker, one being weather-dependent.

If you’ve leveled your Fisher to 71, you can use the Action “Surface Slap” to prevent hooking one of the other large fish.

The next large tugboat to arrive in the harbor is the Magic Bucket. The weather is important in deciding when this boat will arrive, so be sure to check the forecast before your trip. ..

Tip 2:

Large tugs are the only way to catch fish in this area. ..

Since you’re here for the Minion, the animation from catching fish actually makes it take longer. They can’t escape with your Versatile Lure anyway, so just don’t press Catch.

Tip 3:

Remember to use Snagging when catching the Magic Bucket, otherwise it will not be caught.

Tip 4:

Avoid snow and blizzards in the Coerthas Western Highlands when hunting the third large fish. This weather condition actually decreases your odds of success, since this is the time of year when this fish is most available. ..

  1. Don’t be surprised if the wait is quite a while.
  2. Be prepared for a long wait, and be patient.
  3. Don’t be discouraged if you don’t get what you want right away.
  4. Wait until things are more clear before making decisions.

The Magic Bucket is a magical item that can take you anywhere from 100 to 1,000 casts to actually catch it.

There is no one definitive way to catch a fish, but with some luck and patience you can get one. However, the outcome of your fishing trip will vary greatly depending on the conditions. So even with these tips, it may take some time before you catch a fish! ..
