As far as perception goes I am using the Level 50 Fisher set and at lower level nodes I get a fair amount of HQ's. I'd imagine it caps around 15% like the other gathering classes.
do u know any guide with specifics? i read 2 in gamescape and in ff14 guild info sites; but there is no much bout spec yet (which i guess is expected)..
anyway.. if anyone knows a guide of which baits give which fish, will appreciate as well
thx
