Mariner's Equipment can be obtained through ventures, it will increase your daily fishing fatigue so it is advised to obtain this as soon as you can (boots then chest as a priority). More details on the gear can be found here.
Tlahtlamah Glasses can also be obtained through ventures.
Trainee's Specs. would be an easier to obtain alternative, although it only work up to lv.40 fishing.
Lu Shang's F. Rod can be obtained through The Rivalry/The Competition or brought from other players.
Fatigue
You can use the command !fatigue to view your current fatigue. More details on CatsEyeXI's fishing fatigue limits can be found here.
Guild Points
After obtaining Novice rank (Lvl. 28+) you will be able to acquire Fishing Guild Points. Most fish are not stocked (or restocked) in NPC shops so you will either need to rely on purchasing fish from other players or fishing them entirely yourself.
Marceo
Marceo is a custom CatsEyeXI NPC located in Norg at (H-9) which allows players (Lvl. 15+) to trade fish for rewards. More info on the fish you can trade and the rewards you receive can be found here.
Crooked Jones & Sinister Stash
Crooked Jones and the Sinister Stash are a custom CatsEyeXI NPCs located in Norg at (H-8) which allows players (Lvl. 20+) to provide a random selection of fish daily in exchanged for a custom currency, "doubloons".
More details and a list of rewards can be found here.
It is recommended once you hit 5000 total to buy the shovel as you will be able to do an extra daily treasure hunt for more rewards!
Fish Recommendations
The ideal range for getting skillups is to catch fish that at 9-13 levels above your natural skill level.
The below recommendations assume you do not have a Lu Shang's F. Rod, if you do feel free to ignore rod suggestions as Lu works for everything. Some legendary fish will require it and also be able to break it, so level Woodworking to 70 to repair it yourself. Otherwise you will need complete The Immortal Lu Shang to repair it.
It is always best to prioritize fish you can both level and obtain venture points on. A list of venture fish can be found here.
Rank Tests
Every ten skill levels, you are required to prove to the guild that you "have what it takes" by catching (or buying) a Fishing item of the guild's choosing. This item can be turned in once you have reached an "8" in skill (8, 28, 48, etc.) or higher (up to the cap). Once you have the requisite skill, speak with the Guild Master, [Thubu Parohren]
