Why double hook in spectral? It seems better to use GP on patience II with powerful hookset etc. as you get more HQ fish out of that. Do two-four fishes give way more points than one HQ?

I've seen somebody get over 11k with just two rainbows, it is possible, so don't give up after first area.

With a sitting animation it seems to take longer to fish, during a spectral current? But maybe Im wrong

I think party finder groups may be a better option to coordinate. You can make 3 teams and say enter the duty after 5min when everybody solo already entered. You can assign 2 people for one bait so you get the most out of every zone, which is important for the 10% bonuses at the end. Spectral fishes seem to be fishable with more than one bait anyway, they overlap.

With patience II it not only costs a lot but you will only get 1 fish per catch, while double hook can catch you up to four big fishes in HQ if you are lucky. But its probably too early to tell which is better? I in general dont use patience II, I mostly use I since its much cheaper.

You trigger the currents by catching Spectral fish. I don't know how many are actually needed to get a Spectral Current to pop, but I did get an extra 10% bonus for being the person to trigger one of them. Pretty much everyone needs to actually be fishing to contribute towards the goal to get all three Spectral Currents. And you absolutely need the three currents to get enough points to qualify for the mount. It looks like this is having a side effect of some people joining a voyage and if a Spectral Current doesn't pop in the first four minutes of the voyage they'll quit the voyage and launch another voyage.

I wonder if catching the fish itself is RNG then? And people have pointed out on reddit that you dont need all three currents to get the mount. I was around 9.1k with just two and if I had been more lucky with my HQ I would have made it. So I guess having three just decreases the luck you need but at the same time in all of my voyages I never had people reach that.

I tried double hook a few times now and I never caught it. 400GP is still expensive, idk if its really worth.

And yeah low level players can contribute too, but it's like going in Baldesion Arsenal with randoms, it is better if people have an idea what they want to achieve and go for. Better that they already have all baits and maybe even bufffood. And gear for enough GP, that increases just the chances for the whole group. Ofc rng is still looking at you in the end. But I will just make premades at this point, seems more efficient if you really wanna go for the mount or title.

Hm what did you not catch? I am only using double hook in spectral phases for !! and !!! and it always gave huge amount of points. Some guy on reddit even says that he does not use patience at all and still won over 10k because he simply used three double hooks while spectrals were going on. I guess there might be different strategies to reach the same amount but those that have reached beyond 16k (at least those that posted on reddit) did it with double hook.

It just utterly frustrates me how random this conten is. Had one run where we got not a single spectral even though I had caught a couple of spectral.

I can't even handle the basics of getting onto a ship. The game text tells me to talk to the fisher guild lady. I do, she says the voyage is already full - but there's a message to check back in a few minutes. With a Raubahn's Wall level crowd gathered around, it's easy to see the next 24 spaces will fill is milliseconds, so I say 'screw this' & leave.

Then guildmates tell me you don't have to speak at all to anyone to go? Huh?

There's more than once instance, this seems to be a common misconception.
24 people per instance, everyones getting on board. This isn't a situation where only 24 people of hundreds are going to get something.
