xenonox Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 There are lot of guides out there that talks about how to fish a murkray, but no matter what I do, I cannot find them. Any help and extra pointers would be appreciated as I really want some murkray livers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Sir_Alex_Traffo Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Same boat, it's driving me slightly mad. I already use that spot but I have yet to see one and apparently there are some bait mechanics unclear as a few reported to have them working but many reported to have completely wasted all of them for nothing. And it's not like they're cheap. At this point I'm really hoping it's bugged; if it's not the case, the game really needs to give us more info, we can't always figure out stuff from streamers, Reddit, Wiki or whatever.

Honestly, for 5K rep it either MUST work just like that or MUST have a proper tutorial/info. I'm ok with it working - say - only during nightime in a specific spot only before other fishes come and being put in the bubbly spots, that's a bit complicated but fine; BUT you can't really make me waste all my rep while trying to figure out something like that, you HAVE to tell me how it works if it's not something intuitive or with not more than a couple of steps. Brozime is also not impressed. I might be a sort of Brozime fanboy, but regardless of the tone he's just right.

0 Nickishero Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 I caught 2 murkrays at that exact spot. (1 with twilight bait the other with no bait) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 xenonox Posted October 17, 2017 Author Share Posted October 17, 2017 I've been there for half a day. Baits are used. Nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Darealslenderman Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 (edited) After the latest patch, in that spot, at night, I caught a 4 murkrays of all sizes using the bait. During the day however i had none. However i had about 8 spawns total with 7 bait, so just a quick warning, they will get stuck in the rocks and despawn. Edit: after doing further testing, around sunset, 1 bait gave me 4 large murkrays. So im not sure if the time of day matters, but the bait definally works now.

0 xenonox Posted October 18, 2017 Author Share Posted October 18, 2017 (edited) Interesting. So night time? Confirmed. It works with murkray baits at night time. Edited October 18, 2017 by xenonox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Mugufta Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 I've only now just managed to catch some murkray. I used the special bait at night, along with the luminous dye to see them. Tulok spear at the location to the Southeast everyone seems to have luck at. What a frustrating experience. Using 16 of the bait (I had used 4 during the day before I read that they might only pop up at night), I caught a whopping four fish. 4. To the baits credit, 7 total spawned, one spawned in the ground, and 2 fled past the edge of the dye's effect after the first strike, and having never seen them again, I assume they despawned. Whats even the point of a bait that only occasionally draws in the fish its tailored to? One that takes the bits of 40 other fish to make, might I add. Sometimes not even Goopola would show up. I was fine fishing up the low tier fish, I wouldn't even be bothering with the rare ones if they weren't needed for a better amp if the bait works so poorly.

0 LameLaYou Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Use the first spear - it specifically states it's for fish with smooth skin. The first spear allows you to catch murkray in one hit, but will bounce off sharracs and traloks requiring multiple hits to catch them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 UncaIroh Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Or bring volt and shuffle in place. The static does add to the throw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Mugufta Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Ok, so attempt 2: I discovered that throwing bait into these odd, almost bubble-ring like textures seems to almost guarantee spawns, that or RNG decided to be gentle for once.. In one fishing trip, at night and at the south eastern coast, I caught over a dozen Murkray while using only 13 of my bait.

However, I frequently get at least four forma single bait. So it is okay. I fish at dawn or dusk and tend to get enough. Not sure if the time is important.

When I was throwing bait into those ring textures, the ones that look like when a flying enemies is hovering over the water, I was getting them to spawn almost every time.About 3-4 per bait, I would have caught more if the tulok spear caught them in one hit more regularly as they'd usually swim outside the effect are of the luminous dye after the first strike.

You can paste the .png link straight to the forums to show your image. Start of one of the ripples. This is where I catch Murkrays.

0 GoodOldLeon Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Ok, I was catching absolutely nothing, I tried many of the tips you guys left and here are my results: I just catched 28 murks, 100% of them spawned after throwing the murk bait on the ripples, I've noticed that once you catch enough the ripples disappear and change zones. I followed the ripples around and I started catching these sob's like crazy, I'd say around 1-4 per bait, 2.8 average since I used 10 total to catch them. I used the Lanzo. Hope this helps.

When I first went after Murkrays, I came at this spot at dusk, and the moment night fell and I used murkray bait, they started spawning in 2s and even 3s, from 4 to over 20 kg, but deeper into the night spawn rates gradually diminished.

Follow up: this method consistently works. It always spawn at least one, a little more during dawn and dusk, but still works perfectly fine at any time of day.

0 niete Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 60 baits, resource booster, got 200+ murkrays. Follow these steps: 1,stay away from shore ( so fishes wont spawn yet) 2.look for hotspot (water ripple) 3.use your luminous dye 4.quickly approach the hotspot and throw murkray bait 5.watch 2-5 of them spawn 6.when dye is 20 sec remaining, stay away from shore again 7.repeat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Mugufta Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Is there still a cap on the fish you can actually bring into Cetus? If yes, that is a lot of wasted fish. Still good proof of process, well done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
