Uncap Big Fishing, Please!

[Jinglybell]

I dont mind if they keep it capped like that. I do however wish we could get a higher chance then what is probably 15% cap to snag a hq low level fish. (without our gp buffs) Also id like it if they either increased the windows for the level 60 aetherial reduction fish or made it so tupuxuara and the Thaliak caiman were on different fishing windows and I could lower the purity on the ones I managed to catch. SO much useless Seaborne Aethersand when all I want is the clusters. Botany/Mining are easier to spam clusters since you can force 2 purity every time, but with fishing its a crap shoot and our windows for the level 60 ones are only 4 game hours a day with both the ice/water reducible fish sharing a spot.

I prefer that being a higher level Fisher should give you a more higher dang chance to catch more elusive from pre-HW at least. I don't have a lot time in the world and I have errands to run and jobs to do so I can't sit around all the time waiting to catch one fish due to weather, time windows, and mooching at times.

This is not fun, I mean I don't plan to catch ALL fishes, but for the ones that are needed for some Quests... make them more manageable to snag. Seriously I dislike how Fisher is the "weakest" DoL class in the game and how often it fails where MIN and BTN are more relaxing and more fun to use than Fisher.

I do love the new FSH skills no doubt, they're awesome (though I think Patience II is a little worthless... I mean 80% chance of HQ fish but 75% chance of rod not being as effective? Heck it's already a pain to snag some fish and the GP to use the skills to debunk the effective take too long to restore and you have a short window to use Patience and Patience II so Patience I is by far the best one to use) though I am confused about the difference between Powerful Hookset and Precise Hookset, only one cost more than the other and the description of the skills doesn't really explain the merit of using on over the other except it doesn't affect certain fishes.

Not helpful really.

Why be forced to get more levels if having more levels doesn't actually make you better at the job?

hm, if you say it like this i think i have to agree :x at least we are playing an RPG >.>

nah, i use patience 2 a lot now. it depends on the fish, how often it bites and how fast (more GP recovery if it bites less often). if you have enough GP (i use very cheap lvl 50 buffood for GP) you can use it more often. with food i have over 670 GP. i use patience 2 for thunderbolt eel, this tounge thing in dravanian hinterlands, tupuxuara farming... no problem, i have enogh GP to use my poerful hookset everytime an fish bites. not enough for the precise hookset. but i think it's only a matter of time until we have better gear with more GP.

for using the hooksets: if a fish bites the rod will make a noise and bend. use precise hookset for a little bite. you almost can't hear the noise and the rod will only bend little bit. use powerful for a medium and a big bite. you can hear the rod clearly and will bend far more. wich sound you will get depends of the fish who bite. it's almost the same. so if you want to get a fish with a medium bite don't use any hooksets if you get a little or big bite. just let the fish get away. it saves time and GP while your buff is on.

Powerfull hookset ALWAYS works on strong and big bites, Precise ALWAYS works in nibbles

Patience ll allows you to get HQ fish to 100% whenever you Land a fish and is way more usefull then patience l

I have found that, especially when I have to mooch smaller fish, Patience I is much better because it doesn't have that pesky "Catch and Release" buff tied into it. So there are definitely pros and cons to Patience and Patience II.

what's wrong with "catch and release" ? as i know it only makes your fish bigger and has no negative effect

How I interpret Catch and Release:

You have a higher chance of catching larger species of fish.

When you want to catch smaller HQ fish, Catch and Release can be bad.

HELLO??? Total BS.

The hooksets do not preform as advertised. You can still loose the catch. Well so far for my fisher alt who is L 60 but hasn't yet unlocked Hevansward.

Then again many who fish hevansward report the same.
