There is a distressing amount of DoL bots in the Diadem and it has to be stopped.

yeah, even with DH, if you don't get the bite you don't get the fish. I see 3 bites an hour, plus those gobbies get away even with good gear. Those raking in 160k a DAY fishing.... sorry, I'm just not buying it.

I pull in 50k-60k every full diadem run. I'm pulling in 150k per day, while working a full time job(no coronavirus shutdown for me, working in a hospital), and was doing 200k-250k on the weekend, knowing I wouldn't have the time during the week to do more than 3 runs, max. It's all about double hooking every gobbie, and properly using your skills to maximize casts and cloud cutter mooches. Also, gobbies, and all other diadem fish, stop getting away at 2050 gathering. It's a really high number, but if you're gonna go hard, you're gonna need to go hard on melds and food too. It's not magic, it's simply knowing how to optimize the RNG you're given. When I first started I was very sub-optimal and was only doing like, 20k-30k per run, but with each day I have improved my efficiency and now I have not had a sub-50k run in the last 10 runs or so, many of those being 60k+ runs. I know people who aren't hardcore about it think it's some sort of cheap trick or something, but I assure you, it's just a matter of working hard AND working smart. If I can hit and maintain the number 1 spot on a relatively large server while working a full-time job, anyone with the will to learn the rhythm and do more than a single run a day can hit top 12 on almost any server.

You know, this explains a lot. I am not super into this by any means being only casual. My gathering is only in the 1300's so a bit low. Even my game wife, who is super into this crafting/gathering stuff, commented on how low it was for 80. Trying to overmeld is wayyyy too expensive for as little as I actually do gathering.

So if you do need scores above 2000 to be good and efficient, I guess I am going to suck doing it. ;p
