Fisherman need a tacklebox! C'mon!

Fisherman are really, really, really in need of a tacklebox off hand that give them a bit of stats and an expandable inventory.

Real quick:
- They're the only DoL without an offhand.
- They are shorted on stats because they only have a main hand.
- They are shortened a LOT on inventory space. I have over 30 different types of bait at this point.

We Fisherman are generally docile creatures.. But enough is enough. I demand a tacklebox.

Squeenixplz.

- Fisher is the easiest DoL to level
- Leading to this point; additional stats aren't required
- Why do you need so much bait? You only need three different types depending on the level you are at (don't quote me on that though I may have missed some, you certainly don#t need 30)

Certain fish bite on certain types of bait. If you're looking for a specific fish, you want to use bait that increases the chance of that fish biting, while the other fish won't be interesting in that bait.

Indeed but lends more to bait versus lures than needing 30 different ones. Assuming freshwater/saltwater/sky/dunes one can be reasonable in expecting to need only 8 maximum different types. 4 in bait, 4 in lures.

Easiest to level doesn't mean anything.
Additional Stats never hurt. More perception = more HQs.

Because regardless of your level, you might need to fish up dozens of different types of fishes for other crafts. While certain lures and bait can catch multiple types of fish, certain bait and lures are better at catching certain fish. There is optimization here in choosing out specific fish that you want to get depending on gear/area/bait/lure/time.

They should work on making fishing an actual job before adding something like this to it. It's the most useless "job" I've ever seen in a MMORPG. Please make fishing more relevant and useful, you can't make something a "hobby" and have no use outside of like 4 fish.

Approved we need a tackle box also while adding this can the job get some importance not much going on with this job I used to love this job when I was able to fish cristals or used the fish to make shards

Basically this.

I wouldn't even care if it came without stats. The stats would just be a bonus.

I know I've mentioned this to my free company (or complained about it rather), when I go out on fishing hunts. I don't care if it has stats, I just want somewhere to store my bait/lures that doesn't take up an entire tab of my inventory plus some.

I am 100% in support of the off-hand tackle box for bait storage.
Good call server mate, good call!

There's a huge thread on this in the forum section for DoL's. If you have interest in a tackle box, that discussion thread has a lot of good ideas and reasoning why. But I will always support this idea. My inventory is so full with tackle because there are always those moments as a fisher while you are going to point A- Point B, that you find a spot you want to fish because you never have or you are in the area to get certain fish. I think an offhand tackle box is a great idea even if it does limit us to say, 10 bait/tackles. At least that gives me more room to hold other items. It was also mentioned about having different levels of TB. For example , silver/bronze/gold/weathered etc. all having their own benefits.

Fishing is a lot different from botany or mining because with fishing you need to actually carry something in order to get fish. Only makes sense to let us have an item to carry our bait like our armory chest with our gear!!
