hold the line fisherman!

/signed!

+1

Hoping to see a tackle box introduced at some point as well!

Please this is really needed!

We need lure storage. +1

Yes. Oh Yes. {Tackle Box} {Can I have it?} I will love you forever SE, I promise!

I agree! This would be much appreciated.

Signed.

/signed greatly needed!!

I'll sign it, but pretty sure they already said this wasnt something they planned to add, despite people asking for it since launch almost.

Yeah, there was a boilerplate "no plans at this time" dev response a while back, though I've no idea now where to look for it. Still, something like this is well-worth the continued badgering. Bait just takes up way too much inventory space. A fisher doesn't have the luxury of just dropping a line wherever they happen to be; they need to determine which bait if appropriate for their location, teleport or warp someplace where they can access their retainer (or if even their retainers have no room, teleport to the proper place to buy the bait), teleport back to the place they were planning on fishing, and then forget about it because their Duty Finder matched them with a party. :P

I don't care whether the "tackle box" is an actual off-hand tool (if it has stats, they'd need to rebalance all the fishing in the game, which could be a nightmare) or just another page of the inventory akin to the crystals page, but this is something for which FSH is long overdue.

/signed, for whatever that is worth.

[23:12] You land a Fisherman's Tackle Box measuring 202.3 ilms!
[23:12] Data on the Fisherman's Tackle Box is added to your fish guide.

+1 of course!!!

I suppose the positive to having half my inventory full with bait is that i've become super optimised with keeping it sorted and tidy.

i'm on the same page with everyone else on here. i've also seen the producer say on many occasions that if there is enough demand for something in game, that they will try and implement it. Well SE, this is that demand for something specific that just makes a lot of sense. :D. it could also create a new crafting item as well for crafters, the box it self can have a small amount of storage as a basic model, and either by crafting or by doing quests, and/or buying on market board, bigger tackle boxes can be obtained.

TACKLE BOX OR RIOT? Pls.

In think it's obvious to say the devs don't care about this class. I think they don't want to admit they screwed up this class beyond repair and refuse to make it a skill based class of any kind or relieve the RNG crap we deal with constantly.

Welcome to Fishing in Eorza, where you can go hours and hours of constantly fishing with NOTHING to show for it. I've lost faith in the devs to make good decisions and fix what's important for the people.

This needs to be in the game.

Even if it just keeps tackle and not fishes, or just gives a bit more of gathering / perception, a secondary tool would be great.

Sure, why not.

/sign

Signed - yes please.
Fisher at the moment feels a little like the unloved black sheep of the gathering class family ; ; We had spearfishing removed, no more offhand tools to help raise gathering and perception, we can't target fish as easily as miner and botanist can target the item they are after- I don't think I need to mention the RNG... ("fish gets away" x100.. ; ; ) I love fishing despite the sometimes frustrating times, so yes please give us a little ray of sunshine lol

You've got my support. More options are better than no options and I think this would be a great addition.

Tackle box!! Petition signed!

bump because fisher needs an off hand and this is a great idea for a special storage area for all our tackle!!

signed! would love this to be added!!!

One suggestion (just an idea don't flame if you don't like it) is add in the zones that are missing achievement
So say completing fish X fish in Coerthas, reward is a tackle box that holds freshwater bait
Fish X fish in mor dhona, rewards you with a box that holds ocean bait, completing both gets you a rare box that holds all bait
Least then means people still need to work for it

I sign this!

I don't even fish regularly, but I have toyed with it. And I can say that this would be a huge help. It's one thing to have your inventory space temporarily filled up with things you're going to sell or use for crafting, but having to have bait AND fish sharing the same space is overkill.
consider this petition /signed.

Yes please!

Having only just started fishing and taking up a bunch of space better reserved for junk I can sell, I can agree on this.

The other alternative I could think of, assuming it may be too complicated to make the adjustment from an ability to a storage, would be to have the current bait move act like the armoury chest, automatically fills that, but if you need to move bait to the inventory for whatever reason, just add it as an option.

Then give fishers a net of something for offhand. :D Or maybe a book of fish puns.

We really need this... I have a page and a half just for bait and lures.... It's ridiculous.... Then the food ingredients I carry to make my food for catching the new Big Fish.....

Please add this!
/signed

Agree - I sign this.

Though I don't think it needs to be so complicated as an off-hand tool. Just add another tab to the inventory exclusive for the tackle box (for bait and tackle) just like there's a separate tab for crystals.

It's kind of hard to like fishing for few main reasons,

-you have to change class to do it which is terrible in df que
-why can't knight fish again?
-it crams all your inventory, the likelyness of hq fish doubles the space the fish take for no reason (only very few hq fish are worth more gil)
-the bait consumes all the rest of the incentory that you don't already have stuffed with fish
-compared to XI there is NO GAMEPLAY in catching fish! (Seriously how is this ok?!) 1.0 had a TERRIBLE fishing system but even that was more fun because at least you had something to do.
-doing big game fishing requires no more skill than lvl1 seaweed collecting you just push a button in endless lottery;there is zero ptogression from 1 to 50

I would love it if my fishing lures and bait could be placed somewhere other than inventory! Would free up half a page in my inventory!

It would be great if this actually happens.
One of the reasons I find myself not wanting to level the fisher is because of the inventory space.

Yes please!

My whole 4th tab is dedicated to bait and lures, and that's not even including all the lures I've shoved into my retainer's storage. It would be amazing to have a better storage system for it.

Yep, overdue and much needed. It could replace one of the 3 bag slots used for quest items because I don't really think we need that much space for those. . .

Agreed.
I like fishing, but haven't done much of it because I can only carry with me a small selection of the available baits/lures, and no matter which ones I keep on me, it always seems to not be the ones I'd want when I get to an area and think "I could do some fishing here". (I'm sure there's a significant negativity bias in the impression that it nearly always happens that way, but it does happen often enough to dissuade me from doing much fishing.)

Fishing would just be so much more fun if we didn't have this inventory concern always bogging it down. Please, give us a tackle box that can hold each of the baits/lures in the game, separate from our regular inventory. (Though, like with the Armoury Chest, we should have the ability to move the items to inventory when desired, such as when you craft some to give to a friend or your FC.)

Look SE, you have a fishing fan base that needs to be listened to. We, the fishers, are an odd but loyal group!! Give us more pockets and let us switch to gathering jobs without getting booted from the DF queue. I complain DAILY that I cannot ever go fishing because of the endless grind for loot in order to keep my character viable for end game. Make fishing more user friendly if you want to extend the life of the game and keep us subscribing!

huh? I quite often switch to gathering jobs while waiting on DF, and have never gotten booted from the queue for it. You just have to switch back when the queue pops. (If you want to make that real easy, add the gear set for whichever DoW/DoM class you're currently focusing on to your DoL hotbars.)
