Basking Shark ★★
Location
The Sea of Clouds holds 40 fisher nodes, 3 of them time-restricted and the other 37 available at any hour. At level 60 this is higher than 27 of the other 39, which span levels 51 to 73. This one is not among the 3 that are, so it needs no timing — the 37 untimed nodes here can be worked in any order.
Fishing Forecast
Replaying the weather rotation for 365 real days from 1 January 2020 — 7,509 Eorzean days across 22,526 eight-bell weather periods — Basking Shark opens 679 times, about 1.9 windows per real day. Every one of those windows runs 23 minutes 20 seconds, which leaves it catchable 3.01% of the time.
The median wait from one window closing to the next opening is 8 hours 57 minutes, and the mean 12 hours 31 minutes. The shortest gap in that simulation was 23 minutes 20 seconds; the worst drought ran 3 days 10 hours.
Ranked against every other fish in this dataset that carries a time or weather requirement, that is the 24th tightest of 348: 323 are catchable for more of the clock than Basking Shark, and one other lands on exactly the same figure.
