Looking for some help with Olgoi-Khorkhoi

So when supra first came out i had about 30ish bites without one and gave up. Fast forward to now fishing is the last lucis i need, this week ive gone 52 bites and not a fish, my stats are 384 gathering/301 perc, ive tried lowering me perception down to 250ish to see if it help and still no catches ; ;. Is it just bad luck? or is my perception still to high? Any help on this would be greatly appreciated! :) Ive got the 30 Gigant Hq clams already lol but cant get this fish!

Spot: Sagolii Dunes.
Weather: Heatwave.
Time: Any.
Bait: Sand Leech.
Mooch from HQ Storm Rider.

Rest is pretty much RNG unfortunately. :(

That.

I averaged about 2-4 bites per Heatwave. And that's bites, not keeps.

EDIT: Also, don't worry about your perception.

This part i know but thanks for posting, i was just wondering cause ive heard rumors of if your perception is to high it can mess with your catch rate of certain big fish :) feel nice just to vent some anger also ^^

The low perception prevents you from catching HQ Olgois and the rumors are/were that NQ fish requires less gathering to reel in past the requirement, thus easier to catch with lower perception. Though for Gigant Clams I did a test and proved the reel in rates to be exact same with high and low perception. Only difference was that I got no HQs with low perception. What we don't know and haven't tested is if this varies between each fish.

Happy fishing!! Hehe.

Thanks for this info! :) I shall keep trying!

I went 8 heatwaves with only 2 bites. Then within the next 5 heatwaves, I caught 6 NQ. My stats were very close to yours...Forager rod, BiS everything else. I didn't use food or company actions either.

RNG thats all it is....

took me about 10 heat waves to get all 10 HQ, it is like everyone else has said..RNG

Be sure to preload a mooch and go idle til your window. Its safe to go 30 mins without moving.
