Fisher needs more love? I think so

[Shadygrove]

I want party fishing.
A reason to get your anglers together.

Or your lines in line.

Shouldnt there be OH upgrades?

I feel like whoever is in charge of fishing/fish literally hates everybody. It's the only conceivable explanation for the fishing log being as ridiculous at it is. I mean two or more weeks between catching windows? REALLY? and then you give them extremely low bite rates coupled with extremely high escape rates? And usually the windows happen at like 3:40am on a weekday like people aren't sleeping for work. 4.5 fish additions were the ultimate slap in the face in my opinion. It was like we're just gonna make all these new fish borderline impossible.... Have fun! I have never had anything in a game have such a large discrepancy in difficulty when compared to other very similar cases. Like why only fishing? Why is it so easy to get Gold or other "Precious" metals stones etc, but a fish you gotta wait weeks and pray with every fiber of your being it doesn't escape if you somehow manage to actually get a bite. And yet we keep fishing lol

The difficulty is because the only reason those fish exist is to fill out the fishing log, which serves no gameplay purpose itself. If there was some sort of "precious metal" log for collecting rare gems that served no purpose except to fill out a gathering log, you bet your bottom they would have ludicrous restrictions to them too. In rare cases they later troll us by giving certain fish a purpose, like they did with the Warden of the Seven Hues, but those cases are extremely few and far between.

You know what, I would love a rare gem and rare flora log for the other gatherers too. Go big or go home!

I think that the Fisher class could definitely use a update. I've seen other classes get reworked and they are great. But does fisher get any new abilities or update on existing abilities? Nope. I've been trying to catch some of the rarer fish, and the way the Powerful hookset ability and the Precision hookset ability are written its literally the same description for both abilities the only difference is how much it costs. 74 gp and 85 gp respectively then combined Patience 2 560 gp. Its ALOT of gp being spent and if you can't get the fish well you just wasted alot of time and gp for nothing! Its very frustrating!

You didn't fish in 2.x did you?

With all the changes to the MIN/BTN logs you'd think they could update the fishing log and at least get rid of the ???s on all the normal, non-legendary fish.

[Brighthope]

I didn't. I leveled other classes instead. Its was only after I got fisher to 80 that I decided to go back and try to get all the fish I missed.

I agree they really should update the fishing log. As I said earlier Fisher is literally unplayable without outside ressources like "cat became hungry" and I fear the day that site will ever go offline.

I would reaaaaaaaaally like to see some better drop rates on food related fish. Or at least more bang for your buck when you identical cast/double hook. I sell food of various kinds as my primary gil earner, and I've been fishing up sweetmeat mussels for over a week now to get the quantity I need, and I'm STILL not done.

Granted I'm making a large batch to sell and a batch for own use, but still. As much as I like the identical cast/double hook combination, it would be very nice if we got more than 2 fishes for the expense of 750 GP. Heck, maybe it would entice people on my server or elsewhere to actually fish up the blasted things in quantities of more than 1 or 2 to sell! I mean that. No one, and I mean NO ONE, on my data center is selling the things in any quantity a culinarian can realistically work with even if they aren't crafting food to sell to others. Let alone for a decent price. My own server is the worst of the lot. And that new crafting food especially is extremely nice. The demand has got to be high, but the supply is practically non-existent.
