Tackle box needed for bait

They could make space in the oft-empty Key Items tabs. I use the expanded inventory screen, and it shows me three tabs for key items, and one for crystals and shards, and at MOST I have maybe a dozen key items handy -- and that's only when I'm doing Ixali quests and picked up my hunt logs at the beginning of the week. That's it. They couldn't even put Atma in there, so there's no reason they can't free up one tab and give players in general more inventory space if not fishers specifically.

Or they just haven't given a good reason from a dev standpoint not to. Fishing is more popular now due to desynthesis so... Get on it, please!

I've been wishing these since the beginning of times and never heard a response from the devs about it >_>

There has been one. To the best of my knowledge only one. It was in this forum on the French boards long ago. It was a resounding negative.

I need that.
Add an other box for fish too.

Hello

Just took up fishing and yes we do need a tackle box, very very good idea, and wouldn't be that hard to implement. That is what you guys do is write code:) And make your customers happy right? Right?

Necro post because we still need this.

No, we don't.

How many types of bait do you hold at once? How many of those can be easily bought from a vendor (1-50), or be bought with blue scrips (almost all HW ones)?

I only have 3 stacks of bait at all times; Brute Leeches, Crane Flies, and Bladed Steel Jigs. Anything else is either easily bought from a vendor or made for cheap by GSM/CUL. If I need any ARR bait I go to the Junkmonger in the Housing Areas and see if they have it; if not I make a couple synths of it. If I need Blue Scrip bait I always keep a stack of Brute Leeches as a safety measure to fish up a few Illuminati Perches to get that stack of bait too.

Instead of necro-ing a thread that's over 2 years old, consider making a new thread to get a current opinion.

We are NOT GOING TO GET A TACKLE BOX.

And as there will be spear fishing in STormblood, a fish spear will be our off hand tool.

Was asked to Yoshida here recently. Question #2.

Well I still hope they add something specific for baits and lures, it's becoming extremely annoying as levels increase. Yoshida talks about it being expanding the inventory but that's really not it... there's a big difference between adding more slots to the bags (where one can put whatever) and creating a special "bag" where one can only put only fishing related stuff. It's the only job that requires so many additional items, I hardly see any player getting upset about this... The tackle box exists already and it detects which baits we have so they just need to keep that and remove the items from the inventory. Of course the box should be accessible only when in fisher gear.

why not just removing all the different baits and just keep a handfull, wich work like the different gig heads from spearfishing? keep like 10 different baits, wich are unlimited, and the inventory issue is solved. whats even the point of limited bait wich you have to buy / grind scrips for, when the fish are locked behind a giant RNG wall anyway?

IIRC Yoshida's response to this was basically, "NO! And stop asking!"

Enough, enough, enough.

How many different baits and lures do you use in a month? As for the ones you want to keep just in case, that's what retainers are for.

I'm goddess of the land and hand, I gather and craft almost every day, keep materials in inventory, only casually fish, but still have room for 2 - 3 lines of bait.

My fisher alt has room for 2 pages....

All of them. When finding a new fishing spot or even more so when hunting for rare big fish, you want to have them all on you. Given the weather requirements for some, I'd very much like to have them all on me all the time so at not to miss an opportunity when I'm in the right place, at the right time with the right weather. It's ridiculous to have to carry several bags worth of baits and/or taking precious retainer space when not using them. I'd rather save my retainer space for craft materials and nice looking gear for all the classes (since the armoire is pretty useless given its restricted item list).

Don't say it's not a necessary feature just because you don't see the point or your gamestyle doesn't require it. Clearly many people would find it useful.

Of course it would be useful. BUT we have been asking for this since 2.0 beta. We have been told repeatedly it is not going to happen.

As in no way jose.

My fisher alt makes her living by fishing alone. She carries 24 different baits and lures. This is enough for any decent money ARR and HW fish as well as the two HW big fish she has yet to land and every SB bait and lure.

Why are you hoarding ARR/HW bait when none of them work in SB zones, which is most likely where new fish will be added? That's not even touching the fact that all non-lure fishing bait from ARR can be bought for less than 1k Gil per inventory slot.

Is it really that hard to just buy older bait for when you need it instead of forcibly making your inventory smaller by holding Sixty-two stacks of different fishing bait?

The game isn't forcing you to carry around "several bags worth" of bait, you are.

Been a while but yeah, when you're looking for those oddly rare fishes that require weather and time conditions (not everyone has been playing since ARR so some folks might still want to get their old fishing logs complete), sometimes you don't have time to waste to go buy stuff. And people can say "but you can prepare in advance" and yadda yadda yadda but I still think the way fisher is handled is not great. I've seen they've added some more generic baits which already helps, but I'm not sure they work for the rare fishes. Can anyone confirm they do?

They do but they do not discriminate nor isolate.

If you are going big fishing you need specific bait.

The tackle box thing is even starting to annoy me. They gave us a Chocobo with a metric crap ton of space. They enlarged out inventory space as well as our Retainer space a while back. They gave us 400 slots in the Glamour Box and even more space in the Armoire thing... As you can see from this picture i have pretty much any and all bait i could EVER need b/c i like to be ready to fish any spot at any moment b/c i never know when i am going to get the itch to try to catch a rare fish. I still have 2 and some change inventory available to handle all the fish on the new boat added...

If you feel you still need a Tackle Box at this point you need to fix yourself at this point...
