    Fishing has too much RNG

    They described fishing as choosing the right bait for the fish, but I discovered that one bait can catch every fish save the ones you need to mooch for in the lake. I'm fishing up in mor dhona right now, and no matter what bait I chose save the very low level bait, i'm catching every fish on the list except the ones I need to mooch for. The only thing you are guaranteed is that you will catch a low level fish if you use a low level bait, like going for ala mingan fighting fish, I just use bass balls since its the closest to their level but furthest from everything else in the water, but if you use a high level bait trying to go for the high level fish, you'll be catching every damn thing including those measly fish you don't want.

    This includes lures. Baits need to have a reduced +/- catch level on them so that we really can go about choosing the right bait or lure. Fish that require mooching are one thing, but for others, too much randomness. There are only a slight few exceptions, like lvl50 fish in a lvl10 bed of water.

    With the exception of mooch fish and bait specific fish, all fish need to have a bait level to fish level relationship. Best way is each bait will catch a fish within 5 levels of it. For lures the range can be higher, because you don't lose lures unless you aren't paying attention. We don't need to be catching a lvl3 fish with lvl35 bait.

    Note: idiotic posts accomplish nothing and wont have a post wasted on them. You know who you are.
