Helmsman's Hand ★★★
Location
Western La Noscea holds 79 fisher nodes, 10 of them time-restricted and the other 69 available at any hour. At level 50 this is higher than 60 of the other 78, which span levels 3 to 50. This one is not among the 10 that are, so it needs no timing — the 69 untimed nodes here can be worked in any order.
Weather Forecast
Replaying the weather rotation for 365 real days from 1 January 2020 — 7,509 Eorzean days across 22,526 eight-bell weather periods — Helmsman's Hand opens 5,536 times, about 15.2 windows per real day. Those windows average 37 minutes 45 seconds, which leaves it catchable 39.8% of the time.
The median wait from one window closing to the next opening is 46 minutes 40 seconds, and the mean 57 minutes 12 seconds. The shortest gap in that simulation was 23 minutes 20 seconds; the worst drought ran 6 hours 13 minutes.
Ranked against every other fish in this dataset that carries a time or weather requirement, that is the 267th tightest of 348: 80 are catchable for more of the clock than Helmsman's Hand, and one other lands on exactly the same figure.
Those windows are not spread evenly across the conditions that allow them: Clouds carries 51.2% of them (2,833 of 5,536) and Wind 25.0%, leaving 1 rarer combination to make up the rest.
