Fishing Retainer past 50 (SEVERELY UNDERWHELMING) (for devs/community)

Can the fishing retainer get some sort of quality of life upgrade, right now past level 50 there is LITERALLY 1 fish that turns into a crafting component all the others are utterly useless, unlike Miner/Botanist retainer that are a gold mine of supply,

I would like to see Pipira Pira added to the list at least, at 10 fish/hr minimum.

There's a couple that are good for desynthing into things that aren't completely worthless.

But yes, there's far fewer potentially actually useful fish that can be retainer'd compared to pre-50.

No pipira pira or UFBs makes me very sad.

I was very surprised that not a single new fish was added to level 46-50 Fishing Ventures when both miner & botanist got a tonne of 50, 50*, 50**, 50*** & (possibly) 50**** items. It just seems like Fisher was skipped during the updating process.

Some sort of fish tank housing decoration would be pretty neat. There could be a small version, a medium version and a large version. Each could require glass, wood, metal and a variety of high level fish to create.

More wall mounted versions of fish would work nicely too as an additional decoration.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves exaggerating here. There's a lot more than "literally 1 fish". Fanged Clam, Blueclaw Shrimp, Seema Patrician, Blue Cloud Coral, Rock Mussel, Mogpom, and Sweetfish are all worth sending the retainer for (I find Rock Mussels to be especially irksome to catch myself). My issue is that there's plenty that's useful for crafters from 51-55 but then nothing at 56+. With Miners and Botanists recently being given the ability to bring back even the Hidden items (albeit in lower quantities), it would be nice to see some additions made to the Fisher retainer. Coerthan Crab for the lower levels would be nice, as well as Pipira Pira and Unidentified Flying Biomass for higher levels. I do think that the Diadem-exclusive fish need to stay Diadem exclusive, though.

10 Pipiras per hour? Ha ha ha. :D
Nope, umm, nope.

3-5 would be ok, but 10 are just too many.

The only thing that really bugs me is I spent 2.5 months trying to get a Fat Cat/Gestahl minion. I did the Venture everyday for 2 and a half months. I never saw either one. I gave up and changed my fishing retainer to a miner since I need mats. I'll just buy the dumb minion a year from now when its so cheap no one cares anymore -___-
