Thread: Big Fish and You - Patch 2.4 (speculation (or is it? :))

So, uh. I was working to catch all the big fishes and I happened to caught 3 Catfishes after 40 Minutes. I got the buff. I was happy and then... I dc'd. I log in back. Buff was gone. I hate my life. ((After this I continued 30 minutes and didn't hook a single Catfish.)) This game is seriously telling me to gtfo. )x

Well, my main reason question now:
I have forager clothes (minus the shoes. Can get those as well though), the new bufffood and supra. Something I certainly can't have is the FC buff. Is there anyway I can avoid using it? It kinda sucks that you have to depend on it. Does the itemlvl 90 rod gives you enough gathering to skip the fc buff and still have enough gathering for the legandarys?

The Lucis rod gives 20 Gathering over the Supra, and 14 Perception over the Supra. FC buffs give only +10 to their respective skill. If you get the Lucis rod, it will eliminate any need for FC buffs for any current fish, presuming you're eating the right food and have your other equipment up to date.

its 26 more gathering

With Lucis I only use food for Nepto and Shoni.

What SE needs to do is come up with an Augmented IW rod. It fits the theme of the other IW items, could be dyeable and would make the big fishers out there happy. Its not like Perception/Gathering makes that big of a deal with Big Fishing. 99% of it is perseverance and RNG.

Frankly, they should do something with Luminary items too.
