Patience and Fisheyes

[Verdan]

Fishing isn't what it use to be because fishers now have to look at the screen more.

By looking at the patience timer and knowing the secs of each tug, power/perc has a higher chance of being active.

There isn't anything wrong with fish eye. Fish is still catchable when timer runs out, and FSHs should have enough Tp to use it 2x before using a cordial. Plus Cordial is on a 4 min CD.

You even read the post dawg? If patience runs out during a cast, the penalty is still there but you have no way to counteract it. Since fishing is a roll of the dice every time, it's easy for you to be waiting for a bite and have patience run out right before you get something, which would be cool if you didn't have your ability to catch things totally destroyed but can't use stuff to make it better. When patience fades everything about it should fade.

Yes, yes I did, and yes I know fishing is RNG. FSH actions and Fish RNG are two topics. Below extends what I said earlier.

Example:
Bladed jig bite time, 30 Secs for hard tug, 20 secs for medium. If going for big fish and patience timer is below 30 secs after mooch why mooch again? Simple solution, just wait for the buff to drop, then mooch for the big fish.

Now use that and apply it to frilled shark for example, would a FSH start the mooch after giant octopus when patience is below 30 secs?

So in other words, your answer is to just sit there and wait for Patience to wear off completely.

So not only do we have time and weather windows to worry about, and fish eyes, we now also have to sit for up to 29 seconds because if we don't, we get screwed out of our catch.

No.

And I'm fairly sure there isn't a static catch time for certain baits. I've had catches that are within seconds, and I've also had some that take a while to pull, all within the same type of tug. And if it were true, does mooching even apply? Because it feels like it sure doesn't. But deficiency does.

I think that you'll find that many posting in this thread have a similar lineup of achievements.

Regardless, whether or not you can predict how long it will take to fish up a fish, it's still ridiculous that a player should still have a penalty, while removing the tool that was designed to remove that penalty.

Your suggestion to just not cast if the Patience timer is low is a WORKAROUND for an obviously poor design. It's a band-aid, not a solution. The folks in this thread have it right: Hooksets should be usable at ANY time, not just when Patience is active, to cover the (frequent) cases when it wears off while your line is still in the water. Sure, you can wait, but you shouldn't have to.

Heh, linked to show that I am not bullshitting, and not some 2000 feet long e-peen. At least you got it, I am only here to make a suggestion/workaround/band-aid/solution.

Patience action still makes mooching and getting HQ fish helluva easier, poorly designed or not . 20 HQ Silver Sovereigns? No problem. HQ Storm rider? No problem. Spend the whole window trying to HQ a Wahoo? Not a problem. Going to a spot, 1 window early just to pre-mooch for the next window? Not anymore.

Did I jog some of those fond memories?

The tug time is variable, not allways the same time for same size pull. Also it often fails after it goes off, so its like the penalty buff were applied at time of the cast doing.

indeed it may be wonderfull, but the trouble is that is level 51 skill, and from there you can easily buy a npc shop rod/equipment for this level instead going to go painfull hell to do those exchanges now

It does. Your HQ rate seems to stay as well even after Patience wears off, but catching the thing to begin with without the hooksets becomes the problem.
