Emperor Fish Farming (flint caviar)

[ChiiSoSeriouz]

This is a thing about fishing that many sadly have not learned yet. Using the highest level gear for every fish just isnt going to work. I started using my 2.3 BiS gear looking for this fish and after over an hour got nothing. Then I decided to take off most of my melded gathering gear and leave on the high perception stuff, and took off all my i70 melded accessories. It works, getting almost all smelts and very few gobys and have gotten a few emperors so far.

Why would you ever take off high level gear and opt for lower. I "Sadly" would never do this.

Like most others have stated, it's rng. You will either catch a few in a session, or catch nothing. The kissing trout like to bite more then emperors.

Idk if this will help, but (for me) i always catch more when it's snowing. I think it's just luck. I use a Forager's Rod and Honey Worms.

Its still rng and switching gear wont help, sometimes you'll catch 3 in a row and sometimes nothing in 2 hours
