The Old Man in the Sea ★★★
Location
Eastern La Noscea holds 103 fisher nodes, 7 of them time-restricted and the other 96 available at any hour. At level 50 this is higher than 74 of the other 102, which span levels 3 to 50. This one is not among the 7 that are, so it needs no timing — the 96 untimed nodes here can be worked in any order.
