Hello everyone,
I suppose a lot of people already complained about this quest and the horrible probability to get the 2 items from the npc Zaldon.
Seriously, i am a very patient man. I play FFXI since more than 10 years now. I always loved it.
And in 10 years i still didn't get the ebisu fishing rod...
Ofcourse i didn't trade gugrusaurus and lik to Zaldon every day in 10 years. But i think i must be at more than 0/1000 fish traded for nothing.
I am more than awake than luck is the main factor for this quest. But i think nowadays this quest really need changement. Less people play the game than before, and a lot less people fish these fish and sell them. The game has changed and the real world too, and people have less time to fish in a video game for NOTHING.
Honnestly i stoped to fish gugru and lik by myself. This depressed me longtime ago to lose my time like that for nothing. Its to absurd for me. I always buy them, but the probability is the same.
Please do something about this quest ! Really !! Pleaaase !!!
By exemple after 1000 fish traded, if you still didn't get the Opalk Silk and the Saber Shoot, you will get it automaticly.
I say 1000 but it can be less or more. The SE programmers will judge after how many fish it would be deserved to get it.
Or maybe increase the probability for players fishing gugru and lik by themselves to get the item from Zaldon.
Or maybe totally change the absurd probabilty system and do something concrete : 1000 gugru to get saber shoot and 1000 lik to get opalk silk by exemple.
Or the possibility to chose the luck system or the concrete system when you start the quest for ebisu...
I don't know but please do something !
