Looking for some help with Olgoi-Khorkhoi

[QuinceTaru]

So when supra first came out i had about 30ish bites without one and gave up. Fast forward to now fishing is the last lucis i need, this week ive gone 52 bites and not a fish, my stats are 384 gathering/301 perc, ive tried lowering me perception down to 250ish to see if it help and still no catches ; ;. Is it just bad luck? or is my perception still to high? Any help on this would be greatly appreciated! Ive got the 30 Gigant Hq clams already lol but cant get this fish!

That.

I averaged about 2-4 bites per Heatwave. And that's bites, not keeps.

EDIT: Also, don't worry about your perception.

This part i know but thanks for posting, i was just wondering cause ive heard rumors of if your perception is to high it can mess with your catch rate of certain big fish feel nice just to vent some anger also ^^

The low perception prevents you from catching HQ Olgois and the rumors are/were that NQ fish requires less gathering to reel in past the requirement, thus easier to catch with lower perception. Though for Gigant Clams I did a test and proved the reel in rates to be exact same with high and low perception. Only difference was that I got no HQs with low perception. What we don't know and haven't tested is if this varies between each fish.

Happy fishing!! Hehe.

I went 8 heatwaves with only 2 bites. Then within the next 5 heatwaves, I caught 6 NQ. My stats were very close to yours...Forager rod, BiS everything else. I didn't use food or company actions either.

Be sure to preload a mooch and go idle til your window. Its safe to go 30 mins without moving.
