I know it's been asked before but.... (fishing)

+1

And while they are at it, also add a gardening bag to hold seeds.

They have already said they can't do it due to bag space limirations with the servers. Limecat is right on the solution, prune the baits, allow higher level to be used on lower level and look at mechanics. Allowing level 70 bait to fish all lower fish would solve the bait issue outright.

That's the general approach SE takes to consumables in this game. 3 or 4 different lures, usable from level 1. Freshwater bait, ocean bait, again usable from level 1 to 100. We shouldn't need more than that.

And even after simplifying glamour, they still left the other prisms as craftable items for some reason rather than just changing all references to them to point at something else...

And a side-gripe, but on a similar subject is the way items from gathering work. I know why new tiers exist (so gatherers have new things to get), but it leads to really wonky stuff like pine... pretty much anything... being superior to Oak or Yew. Really wish there were a way to revisit that sort of thing. :-(

I'd be OK with a bait rework. Maybe once you hit certain levels you can get baits that are like

"lvl 30 worm" and "lvl 30 lure" that work for all fish from 1-30. Then like..lvl 50, that do from lvl 31-50 fish. And lvl 70, would do from 51-70.

Obviously just a small idea but would be something to ease the items lol

I'd prefer if they made it like the Gig for Spearfishing. Just 3 lure types, one that works with fish in the deepest parts, one for normal fish, one for fish near the surface. Though, this is just me saying this because I vastly prefer spearfishing over regular fishing (it's more fun and vastly simplified).

To be fair, there's much more number of fishes with bait than gig can catch at most, if not all fishing spot. I think we probably need a middle ground between the number of tackles and gigs to allow some form of filtering. Maybe what Taru recommended? A combination of hole type + level range might be the sweet spot.

For unlocking fishing holes, you only need the highest level bait.

Catching specific fish is different, it's mechanics. Some fish are predators only moochable with lower level fish native to their habitat, that's why lower level bait is used for level sync-ing so you don't get 20x 'the fish get away..'

Unfortunately they've already said no to this. Too bad, a tackle box would be very nice to have. Right now I just keep 1 stack of each current level bait, a couple lures and just buy whatever else I need as I go along. One more level and I'm capped again so then it will just be buying bait as i need it. There is really no need to keep more than a couple stacks of bait on hand when it's so easy to grab more.

I had a compromise idea since they don't seem to want to give us one. I was thinking a house furnishing item that can store baits.

They need to fix the "server limitation" excuse nonsense before doing any future content but that's just my opinion. Only AAA MMORPG that uses it(WoW I can see due to it being 12years old)
