Big Fish and You - Patch 2.4 (speculation (or is it? :))

I spent around 20 added up hours with trying to catch kuno now... had the buff 7 times during that time, many lost canavan, 1 lost kuno and
an endless amount of aggression -_-

3 more NQ Mahar. The guy next to me caught a Shoni @ 3:00am ish ET.

The statistics are quite sad:

This window - 1 bite -> 1 NQ.

7 HQ Cloud Cutter -> 1 NQ Mahar this time

I have caught on average of 2-4 Mahar every window lol, all NQ so far

My experience has been very similar.

3 HQ Cloud Cutters - 1 NQ Mahar

I wonder how much perception is needed to have the highest HQ chance for mahars, I actually have 319

I catch 0.5 mahar per window on average, thx se

pop that +10 perception FC buff and find out?

Another Shoni weather incoming!

My current record is 199.3 ilm. Also a NQ...

Another Mahar got away from me @ 421 gathering. It was probably going to be a HQ one... ;_;

Caught 3 mahar, 2 hq. 1 shoni got away.

Server first 'of Dragons Deep' (likely the only one on my server to ever get it)

If you're trying to catch blood-red bonytongue you can ignore those catches after silverfish HQ because you know they're not a big fish and it's a direct silverfish mooch.

Shoni weather incoming!

Maybe there's a minimum perception required to catch HQ Mahar? 320?

6 mooches -> 1 nq mahar, as usual

Ditto, Ditto.

I think the roughest part is that once you've caught everything else it's just a waiting game for the right conditions to pop. It's annoying how rare the weather combo is.

Yeah it really sucks. I just asked one of my amazing FC leaders to give me a perc +10 for day so if another window doesn't pop I'm going to be maaaaaaaaaaaad D:

@Server, I reckon you'll get it soon ^_^ sending you gl vibes!

I think it's unlikely the perception cap is very high if it exists at all, since the official post stated we should be able to catch all the fish without FC buffs.

The weather is coming!

Shoni get! 5 AM 411 gathering / 329 perception

Thanks everyone for keeping the spirits up during the long grinding sessions and the info you provided! Best of luck!~

only 3 mooches and nothing

Finally got it! Used the FC perception buff this time to get to 326 perception and got a HQ Mahar on my 2nd bite.

I bought that fat lucky charm for 10m

totally worth it

Congrats guys! I also used Fc buff and got... Nothing :(

Woo hoo! 106! :)

You know what is funny? That you fish in the SAME spot, using the SAME bait - but you get the different records! (one for canavan, one for kuno)
