The next main-hand tier.

While waiting for unspoiled nodes pop up, I chilling around the achievement and found the hardest achievement of Fisher that require you to catch all current Big Fish.

The reward is a Ironworks main hand for Fisher with ilvl 80. This make me wonder and realize that will the next tier for Miner and Botanist also Ironworks with ilvl 80? Since we already have Supra as 75 and currently the good one to get, maybe the next one will come out soon with some hard requirement because both Miner and Botanist haven't got much interested things to do beside new star nodes which feeling the same as old nodes. I don't do Fishing so I don't know much about them, but seeing this do make me wonder Miner and Botanist will get some kind of like this surprise soon.

What do you think?

I really hope they do something similar with the next tier of main-hands for all crafting and gathering classes. Having the Ironworks Fishing Rod is a true testament to your dedication to the class, and there is no way to buy, cheat, lie, steal, or get carried to it. You want that rod, you gotta work for it the way it was intended to be worked for.

There is nothing in Mining or Botany that compares in the slightest with big fish.

Nothing.

Not right now, no (Although Rare node drops are a thing; if they were rare appearances at Unspoiled nodes, it could be comparable).

I agree with your POV. Since most of the content these days I think it was made for casual so much that the way we gotta work for it doesn't like before. And I also doubt the direct skills of Yoshi now.

Yeah, not right now. Maybe 2.5 will have something new.

No, pointing out that there is nothing of equivalent difficulty for the other gathering classes.

Looking at the way fishing is constructed it was easy coding to add big fish.

Looking at the way mining and botany are constructed the easiest way they could add something equivalent would be to add 106 rare and hidden items to unspoiled and other nodes. Items that have a 1 - 3% chance to show.

And add weather requirements too.....

Im sure I remember reading somewhere that Yoshi and co was considering making the Supra tools like the relic and having upgrades every so often, as someone who spends a lot of time as Botanist and Miner I would welcome this thou I am still on way to get getting Mammon Supra lol

Yeah they were responding to my question in the E3 Live letter when they said they were considering a relic style series of upgrades for MH tools.

Perhaps not right now, no. However! We are looking into releasing a new system to motivate both miners and botanists, but it will be somewhat different from Big Fish. This system is scheduled for some time after the expansion, but once we have some more information we'll be sure to share!

This makes me happy. I'm not a crafting person but man oh man do I enjoy my gathering, incentives are always welcome.

How about private mines and groves?

big mining and big gardening

nodes give extra items with a 0.1% chance, if weather + previous weather + time are correct

You know I was thinking about private mines and forest as well Einherjar where you have a one time entry per day and you get a time limit while inside and you have to go through nodes with various stat requirements to find certian ores/drops so you have to manage your item space, time, and gp. But at the same time I was thinking of the same with fisher where you would have an instance where you are out on the ocean fishing from a boat and you have a set amount of time while out there and only once a day.

But after the first month or so I would imagine it would get super boring and repeative so hopefully the designers have something not just monetarial profitable but fun as well.

Camate replied to a post over a month old. We DID get an iLevel bump. notice the OP referenced Supra's? We have Luci's now :)

Big fish is like playing the slots in a room full of slot machines but a bunch of the slot machines don't work and you don't know which ones.

But you play them anyway.
