Fishing Guild?

shirlnt

I played a little during beta 4 but I was one of the many caught by error that kept us from being able to log in.  From what I saw of the game, it doesn't seem that all guilds are available in starting town (I started out as archer).  Is there a guild for fishing like there are for the other harvesting skills?  If so, where is it located?  If not, how do I start fishing?  I did purchase some type of bait at a shop.

Where you start is based on your starting class you choose.  Every class/craft in the game has their own guild, split among the 3 starting captial cities.

That's one of the things I liked about FFXI. Guilds were regional, therefor cities had actual character and made sense. In Bastok for example, there was no fishing guild because there was no commerce for it. There was however a mining guild along with guilds that utilized those resources. All cities didn't have all crafting professions.

Not sure, but I'd seriously consider footing the fee for a "Bubba Gump Shrimp" guild.

Limsa Lominsa has guilds for Marauder, Arcanist, Fisher, Culinarian, Blacksmith and Armorer.

Ul'dah has guilds for Gladiator, Thaumaturge, Pugilist, Miner, Weaver, Goldsmith and Alchemist.

Gridania has guilds for Lancer, Archer, Conjurer, Leatherworker, Botanist, and Carpenter.

Each main storyline grants you access to the airship around level 15 so you can travel and level whatever you want.

Limsa Lominsa has a Musketeer guild too, but the class isn't in game yet. Most likely it'll be added soon after launch, being the third class for the city to round them out.

Thanks for the info.  Currently level 10 archer and level....8?....botanist.  Looks like I need to get my archer levels up some more to get airship access and do some exploring beyond my starting area.

Just work on the main story quests and things will keep unlocking for you. And don't feel like you have to do all of the side quests, chances are you will someday level up another class in this area and you will have those quests to do then.
