    I've been using the skills as well and cordials and still nothing. lol. I feel like i'm just unlucky.

    Also wanted to add... I'm also using Goblin Jig & the skills I feel aren't as useful in equality to their cost. Even using Powerful my fish still get away wasting the ( 2 minute??!?!?! wtf SE ) buff and even with the help of Cordials ( and their insanely long CD ) you end up spending a lot of time standing around waiting for GP so you can lose your fish again.. It's honestly pretty dumb.

    Waiting for GP was one of the reasons I liked fishing more than MNR / BNT and now it seems like we don't have a choice if you want to get anything done in a timely manner.

    So I don't know how in the world you got that much in 15-20 minutes without some kind of divine intervention from RNGesus.

    It took me a week of fishing ( almost straight, not running anything really aside from dailies ) to get my first book. When I saw how long it took I gave in and worked on my BTN and MNR to make my life easier.

    If you really loved fishing as you say, you would know that it is the general fishing rule, and also you already know to whom pray .

    Btw in a normal game day i got 5-6 collectable illuminati perch high enough, and like 18 not high (without using cordials)

    edit: i feel worst btn & min have to wait a whole day for collect from a node instead that just sit and throw ur line and pray.

    Just because I love something doesn't meant I can't be frustrated.

    The only tip I can offer is to make sure you learn what sounds the scrip generating fish make. You shouldn't be using your skills while under patience for every hit. It's a GOOD thing to loose hits while under patience to minimize the time you spend and the lose of GP reeling in fish that aren't collectible. That is why I use live bait.

    P.S. One more possible tip. You can make a lot of scrip off of level 56 and 57 fish. Maybe it's easier to land HQ level 56 and 57 fish than the level 59 Perch?
    Yeah I had no problem getting the fishing gear. Thats small potatoes compared to the 9 books. I got enough for the gear just turning in to get to 60 which was nice. But by then my husband had made me the level 60 gear so it was kinda silly haha. Anyway ill have to double back and check out the other fish.... because even listening to the sounds... all the HQ fish sound the same to me unless its a Big Fish ( the highland )... so I end up getting silly amounts of HQ Phil. Stone and and HQ Shipworms. XD

    Frustration was something taught to forget by silver sovereign, olgoi and other ones long long time ago.
    Past that you achieve the nirvana while fishing

    anyway wich are your stats? with lvl 60 stuff and goblin jig should not have any trouble at all. Are you sure your not letting pass some fish 826+, it happened me couple times that i was waiting 850+ lol until then i realized had lost like 4 826-840 fish hahahaha
    By the way im just have lvl 58 scrips stuff (and lucius rod) and also simple melds on jewerly (578 gp only) and is not so bad caught them
