Patience and Fisheyes

[Zorlinta]

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?

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.

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?

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
