FFXIV Northern Herring: Locations

If you’ve been running around the map avidly searching for these sneaky little creatures, then don’t worry, we’ve got you covered.

Firstly, you’ll need to have the new FFXIV Endwalker expansion, otherwise you won’t be able to reach this location and the Northern Herring will not be available to you. If you’ve bought your ticket to the end of all days, though, you’ll want to take the Aetherite to the spectacular Old Sharlayan.

From here:

  • Run straight South from the main plaza Aetherite to the harbor.
  • Continue down to where the boats are.
  • Fish away using a Shrimp Ball bait (bought from the Material Supplier in Old Sharlayan.)

  • If you see a !,” catch it!
  • If you’re planning on fishing for some Northern Herring you may as well get comfortable!
