Red Scrip > Stupendemys

It's not a design flaw.

Is this a 1 star fish or a level 60 fish?

Ahahahaha....this is pretty funny given your comments on red scrips in general.

[Snugglebutt]

Funny how? Where did I say red scrips are working perfectly or not in need of improvements?

Feel free to quote/link any such examples. I think you will find all along I have been saying the system needs minor tweaks and balances. What I described in this thread is a minor balancing issue.

It's a 1 star fish. Capelin, berserker betta, storm chaser, lavalord, loosetongue, barreleye, stupendemys, spring urchin, euphotic pirarucu, tornado shark, lungfish are all 1 star level 60 fish.

I quit fishing for scrips entirely because it's such a pain in the tuckus.and since I don't have any other gatherers, I'm never going to get my cute red scrip fisher gear.

Uhhhh. level your other gatherers? It takes like a few days lol

That's not really a solution.

I don't even use fisher for red strips anymore, miner and botanist cap my weekly far better than fisher does. Red strips for fisher needs a big major overhaul, even was using patience II sometimes i go without a fish for 2 mins cos the fish get's away compared to BTN and MIN where i can gather x6 items within 10 mins for nearly 60-70 red strips every 30 mins.

Actually, leveling the other Gatherers IS a solution. It is, in fact, the only solution, regardless of its palatability. The only other option, which is not really a solution at all because it does not address the problem, is to maintain the status quo, which is clearly not desirable. If it was, there would not be a problem requiring a solution, after all.

It's not a solution to stupendemys though, they still need to become a viable red scrip fish. Currently they are not despite being part of the red fishing scrip rotation. You can cap on other fish but that's not ideal either overall as SE should want all rotational fish to be worth farming even if at different difficulties but right now stupendemys are not worth bothering with so a slight adjustment to that specific fish would be my solution.

[Roth_Trailfinder]

The issue is not Stupendemys though. The issue is capping red scrips, and the stupendemys is one means of working at it. You are saying that they are not good for their difficulty. The solution is to find something that works better. That's why raising the other Gathering classes is the solution. It provides a lot more options for capping RGS, many of which are superior.

Stupendemys are not the end, they are a means to an end. That's all.

Well I'm not sure if Fishing and Mining/Botany are comparable in this regard, but no Miner/Botanist ever goes for the 1* Red Scrip option. It's not so much that it's impossible to do, but rather that the stats required to cap collectability is much higher than the Adamantite/Greens. Also, the extra scrips doesn't outweigh the sacrifice of getting HQ legendary materials.
