Fishing compared to other DoL

[Urthdigger]

Well, this is mainly an issue during leves. I'll go an entire leve with only getting one or two fish, it's INSANE. Sure I can get better rates fishing out of leves, but god forbid I actually get any guild marks.

I do know removing the infinite spots entirely would be a bit of a nerf, hence my second suggestion to keep those spots, and instead just make schools of fish (levequests included) use the mining/logging system, and let the infinite spots use the current fishing system.

'll go an entire leve with only getting one or two fish, it's INSANE.

30 minutes with only 1 or 2 catches? That is insane. That's never happened to me in a fishing leve.

If anything, my problem is the exact opposite. Fishing leves end in just a couple of minutes because I catch all my fish too quickly to get decent SP.

I can think of only a couple situations in which I could go 30 minutes with only 1 or 2 catches:

1) Fatigue. When you get gathering fatigue, your SP numbers don't turn yellow. Instead, you stop being able to catch fish.

2) Using the wrong type of bait. I suspect that this is what's happening with you. Are you using freshwater bait for ocean fishing, or ocean bait for freshwater fishing? Usually, if I got 4 or 5 casts without a bite, I'll check my bait and realize that I forgot to change it to the correct type.

3) Fishing in an area too high for my level. This probably isn't your issue, since you're doing levequests. But if you're a level 10 fisher, and you're fishing at a rank 5 node, you're not going to get any bites.

4) Jig lag.

(It probably goes without saying to make sure that you're using level appropriate gear, and that your gear is repaired.)

Hope that helps. Good luck!
