The next main-hand tier.

[kog985]

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

Nothing.

lol, you must be really dissapointed with the current situation.

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.

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.

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

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