    The worst part arent the conditions itself, its the fact that they still escape with a 90% rate. It took me 7 bites of problematicus to finally reel it in. A friend lost it 9 times and didnt get it yet.

    same with opabinia...3 bites and got away 3 times.

    Sea Butterfly is one of the easier ones, it takes like 2 minutes to get the buff, you just show up and leave after 5 minutes, theres no time effort involved. Problematicus and opabinia require you to invest 30-60 minutes of preparation for a single 1-2 min buff, which is waaaayy worse imo. Btw, you can use Patience II to always get 3 HQ crabs, once you have intuition

    funfact: you cant catch those fish in HQ with 640 perception, they'll always be NQ, even under the effect of patience II

    I have yet to catch problematicus, it's so rare to even land a fossiltongue I tried a few times... its so RARE!

    You're so lucky, I am 0/16 with Problematicus. 831 gathering and just cannot seem to reel him in.
