Tackle Box- Sign the Fisherman secondary tool petition!

[SFMattyG]

Agree - I sign this.

Though I don't think it needs to be so complicated as an off-hand tool. Just add another tab to the inventory exclusive for the tackle box (for bait and tackle) just like there's a separate tab for crystals.

It's kind of hard to like fishing for few main reasons,

-you have to change class to do it which is terrible in df que
-why can't knight fish again?
-it crams all your inventory, the likelyness of hq fish doubles the space the fish take for no reason (only very few hq fish are worth more gil)
-the bait consumes all the rest of the incentory that you don't already have stuffed with fish
-compared to XI there is NO GAMEPLAY in catching fish! (Seriously how is this ok?!) 1.0 had a TERRIBLE fishing system but even that was more fun because at least you had something to do.
-doing big game fishing requires no more skill than lvl1 seaweed collecting you just push a button in endless lottery;there is zero ptogression from 1 to 50

I would love it if my fishing lures and bait could be placed somewhere other than inventory! Would free up half a page in my inventory!

[KhalidTheGreat]

It would be great if this actually happens.
One of the reasons I find myself not wanting to level the fisher is because of the inventory space.

[Dyne_Fellpool]

Yes please!

[Eupheryce]

My whole 4th tab is dedicated to bait and lures, and that's not even including all the lures I've shoved into my retainer's storage. It would be amazing to have a better storage system for it.

[Jodou]

Yep, overdue and much needed. It could replace one of the 3 bag slots used for quest items because I don't really think we need that much space for those. . .

[Niwashi]

Agreed.
I like fishing, but haven't done much of it because I can only carry with me a small selection of the available baits/lures, and no matter which ones I keep on me, it always seems to not be the ones I'd want when I get to an area and think "I could do some fishing here". (I'm sure there's a significant negativity bias in the impression that it nearly always happens that way, but it does happen often enough to dissuade me from doing much fishing.)

Fishing would just be so much more fun if we didn't have this inventory concern always bogging it down. Please, give us a tackle box that can hold each of the baits/lures in the game, separate from our regular inventory. (Though, like with the Armoury Chest, we should have the ability to move the items to inventory when desired, such as when you craft some to give to a friend or your FC.)

Look SE, you have a fishing fan base that needs to be listened to. We, the fishers, are an odd but loyal group!! Give us more pockets and let us switch to gathering jobs without getting booted from the DF queue. I complain DAILY that I cannot ever go fishing because of the endless grind for loot in order to keep my character viable for end game. Make fishing more user friendly if you want to extend the life of the game and keep us subscribing!

[Niwashi]

... and let us switch to gathering jobs without getting booted from the DF queue.

huh? I quite often switch to gathering jobs while waiting on DF, and have never gotten booted from the queue for it. You just have to switch back when the queue pops. (If you want to make that real easy, add the gear set for whichever DoW/DoM class you're currently focusing on to your DoL hotbars.)
