Kai- I totally agree with you on the point regarding the imbalance between fishing vs botany and mining. I can stand by a grade ten body of water getting 250 sp per catch at rank 33+ and never having to move my butt to another spot. But I can't do so with the other fieldcrafts.the travel time alone makes it slower to rank up botany or mining. Not to mention that the speed up abilities do not effect nodes 200 yalms or less.
