Two sample T test it. % caught with max perception vs. % caught with min perception.

you don't have to test it on Olgoi. Other fishes weights must be affected by lower perception too if the theory is correct.

While that's true, it doesn't help when we're trying to determine if fish weight determines difficulty of catching a hooked fish or not. Just figuring out if higher perception means higher average fish size doesn't tell us that.

I kinda wish someone had asked Yoshi about this at the last live letter :(

He wouldn't have answered. People have been asking and begging for any answer at all about fishing since ARR's alpha, and he almost never says anything. The one time we got him to say a single comment about it, it was just repeating what we had already been told.

True, but i think its safe to say that 2.3 has offered a wealth of oppurtunity for Fishers both economically and achievement based. The class is slowly becoming less and less "casual". For that i'm thankfull.

I'm at my 5th or 6th heat wave and only managed to get one. Plenty of Dune Manta and Caravan Eels, a few "Fish got away" and a single Olgoi x:
The pain of this grind, 100% in the hands of RNGesus.

I have quit this game now after realising how pathetic I was wasting my time on it. How many hours have you all spent gathering? It's not even fun, you give hours and hours of your life for pixels on a screen without enjoying it, and what's the end result? A fishing rod which will only soon be replaced by another one. If it were fun then I'd say it was all time well spent but the fact is it isn't.

If you have left a game that you're not having fun playing, then you have made the correct decision! Don't presume, though, that you have any idea what the rest of us do and do not consider to be fun.

When it comes down to it, manipulating pixels with nothing to show for it is at the core of ANY video game. When you set down your controller after playing your current favorite FPS or MOBA, what, exactly, do you have to show for it? Nothing except personal satisfaction. You did not find that satisfaction with FFXIV, but there are plenty who do.

meals work like eating food maybe look to see what it has on the label to see stats and pick gathering and perception say +20 gathering +10 perception food.
