Where are the -real- Fishing improvements?

That's what FSH Retainer are for tbh

So by that logic, Botany and Miner should not have the higher yield abilities because they can make a retainer that harvests large sum of items for them.

No, by that logic its more efficient to use a FSH retainer because you only can fish a certain species out of a pool of many - unlike BTN and MIN that can target what they want to get specifically. The same way it works irl, yknow?

My point is, there are ways that IRL we get around not being able to get exactly what we want from fishing, I'm not saying the FSH retainer is bad, I'm just saying it's not an excuse to not give us Poseidon's charity or something of the sort

Miner and Botany also get a secondary weapon/tool; Where's fishing's offhand net?

We've asked for this for a long time. A Tacklebox is what a lot of fishers want, since it would not only add stats, but could be a place to store lures and bait, to un-clutter the inventory.

Botanist and Miners have it different however, Botany has Blessed Harvest I and II, Miner gets King's Yield I and II.

Please, all of this. Chum was a step in the right direction to help catch more fish easily, but it can be improved upon.

Nah, you just have to find the correct bait for the fish your trying to land.You want it to limit as many other fish as you can with it so that you zero in on the one you want. Its not hard, but it does take some homework.

Tacklebox! SEE THAT'S A GOOD IDEA! I like that direction!

This system is hardly well polished, it's like someone kinda lumped something together and said "here's Fishing, glhf" if we had something like the tacklebox it would open fishing to the ability to have a botanist/miner-like window with the ability to see what lures allow you to catch what fish. Just like the miner ability "Preparation" which shows you information that otherwise would be unavailable to fishers. If you look at "homework" websites you can see tons of fishers just kinda guessing at what a fish's harvest gathering level requires and how much perception is recommended to get the HQs of it. Fishing just seems lazily put together. To reply again to a previous poster, Fishing is not a "hobby class" it's a gathering class. Hobby things are like sightseeing and post-moogle. Fishing needs real effort put into it for people to play it. I can list off 5 fish that are normally high demand on any given server but on mine there are no supply because people find fishing boring.

/rant over.
