How to catch Lunar Deathworm (for Purple Scrip!) in FFXIV
169(This guide contains no MSQ quest name spoilers, but does include the a mid-game zone announced in a live letter, along with its music.)
Lunar Deathworm is one of the handful of Purple Scrip farms available to fisher. With its high uptime due to its common weather requirement, and cheap bait options, it's one of my recommendations for fishers looking to farm up some of the new scrip.
FOR CLARITY: THERE ARE MANY PURPLE SCRIP FARM OPTIONS FOR FISHER.

📋What to have ahead of time
Make sure you have the Sea of Stars Folklore book, which you can purchase from the Splendor's Vendor in Radz-at-Han. This is also where you can accept a short dialogue quest to unlock Purple Scrips.
🌑Catching Lunar Deathworms
Arrive at The Chlorophospond during Fair Skies with either Chimera or Grey Worm. Either are fine, Chimera is more ideal though. Use Collector's Glove and Patience II, and cast out. Lunar Deathworm is a mooch off of Calicia, a ! bite. It's the only ! bite in the pool, so you can ignore all other bites.
Update (12/31) - I'm finding that keeping Patience II up as much as possible, and slapping Fever Fish (the quick !! bite), while using Chimera Worm leads to more Calicia.
Mooch the Calicia you catch. Lunar Deathworm is one of two potential bites off the mooch, and is the only !!! bite (the other bite is Feverfish, !! bite, and is very quick). Ignore the !! bite on the mooch. Continue to catch Calicia to mooch.
Once you get a !!! bite, use Powerful Hookset to catch Lunar Deathworm. You can turn these in at any Collector's Appraiser for Purple Scrips. Use the Purple Scrips to buy gear, bait, or materia!
Good luck and happy fishing!
