Exploit: Consuming a cordial before certain Fisher actions

[HamanKarn]

Time: Any
Frequency: Always
World name: Ultros
Character name: Haman Karn
Class/Level: Fisher 60
Area and coordinates: Any fishing location
Steps:

1. Consume a Cordial or Hi-Cordial item.
2. Immediately use Patience, Patience II, or Fish Eyes.
3. The GP cost of the skill is lost before the GP restoration of the Cordial takes effect, giving you far more GP than you would normally have access to under the effect of the skill used, allowing things like using Patience after using Fish Eyes, or many more Hooksets while under the effects of Patience.

Only verified on Windows version, but I do not see why it would not work on PS4 or Mac.

How is this an exploit?

[HamanKarn]

Because it is a bug which gives those who use it an advantage over those who don't.

What exactly is the advantage though, an extra second of fishing time vs using the cordial and skill in the opposite order?

[HamanKarn]

You normally only get a few hooksets off after you use patience, with an extra 300 GP you can get as many as you want, basically. You can also use it to get patience up during Fish Eyes, which is usually impossible and trivializes catching a few level 60 fish.

You can't drink a cordial after using a skill without losing the buff
