Master Fisher's Ring is flawed

The +22 GP has to be a mistake since Fishers do not use GP. Short and simple.

Please fix or just put perception, gathering, and/or both as a buff.

Maybe it's going to reflect a future change in 2.2..?

I would be less confused if that was the deal but from what I understand, fishing wasn't supposed to have all that much to it. Honsstly, I would prefer if they keep their simple set up we have now but maybe add a tackle box for storage space. I heard there will be something related to fishing coming soon but I really wouldn't want GP skills added seeing perception has tons more potential with fishing and mooching.

No tackle box, but here's a ring with the wrong stats!

Good job dev team.

Haha, but really please change that +22 GP unless there is some real reason behind it.

All other accessories for DoL have GP only as their stat boost. The cap for melding onto i55 accessories is +4 Perception, so anything above that on an i55 accessory would be outside the game's established guidelines.

I'm simply guessing at this point, but there could be a use for GP down the road. Especially since in 1.0 you could spearfish if i remember right. Not sure it used GP, but maybe the new version could.

I may be wrong, but are there any gathering rings at all with stats besides GP? I get the feeling they don't want the new rings to be BiS and if it had any stats other than GP, that's what it would be for fishers. Instead they seem to be mostly about vanity and the durability bonus and the Fisher's ring still delivers on both those things.

I thought they just copy/pasted it.

I honestly just wish they would tell us that it had GP for a reason other than have a useless ring in my inventory slots.

I believe you can store it in your Armoire if you'd like.

Yeah that's a possibility but doesn't change the fact that it's taking up space with no use no matter what level your fisherman is at.

Give us perception or give is death!

Who cares, all achivement gears are for vanity not their stats.

Vanity shmanity, a fishing ring with only GP is like a tanking ring with only INT. There's just no excuse.

Have you looked at the rings for the other classes? The DoW/DoM are inferior to darklight, and the DoH ones are inferior to the ilvl55 ring.

Yeah, it's an achievement item, none of which are good items with the exception of the luminary tools. They're just trophies.

I belive GP for fisher is part of fishing algoritms. Chance to efective fishing in some way. Feel like low GP easiest lost metal bait for example. Is not useless, personally used to cap it when can, because too like to have full GP when changing to Miner and/or Botanist (all crafts and gathering lvls 50 here).

Um, no...
GP is completely useless for fishing right now and does not influence anything.
It's the Gathering stat which determines if a fish stays on your line or gets away (with or without lure).

But as others have mentioned, fishermen may get abilities in the future that do require you to use GP.
But even then those rings would be useless to me as my melded gear is better anyway.

Yeah but what is the DoL stuff inferior to? There's not really anything to compare it to honestly. I seriously just melded crap jewelry just to get extra perception. Hell fishing doesn't even have an offhand weapon to meld like the others. I just see FSH getting the shaft the more I look at these threads.

The DoL master rings are inferior to the level 50 crafted ring. The crafted ring has 22GP when HQ, just like the master ring, but can also be melded with 3 perception, 3 gathering, and 4GP.

Which is true of all HQ crafted vs found gear with similar ilevels. The only real advantage most found gear has over HQ crafted is level requirement.
