Fishing tackle box separate from item inventory

[Soylentbob]

There should be a separate inventory for fishing bait, like there is with the armory chest. This would allow more bait to be carried without wasting slots in the main inventory.

This is a suggestion since this game was realesed, so I don't see it being implemented after all this time. Next patch is said to vastly increase the inventory and armory space, so I think it will be better, not just for fishing.

I see. Well that will be nice too. I hope they one day they set it up where you can craft using items on your retainers, without needing to get the items from your retainers first. It also interferes with inventory and I loose track of which retainer has what items, also it would be more convenient.

[Saraphin]

yes, but Fisher doesn't have an offhand...so...why wouldn't a tacklebox with your tackle be good for that slot?

I'd say a better offhand for the fisher is a net, wouldn't you agree? The net could help land harder to catch fish.

Also, I believe the reason why not much attention is being paid to this class is because Yoshi just hates fishing.

Instead of thinking up ideas for fishing off-hands, first ask yourself, "why would I need one?"
You can catch every fish without an off-hand, so having one would be complete overkill unless they upscaled the required gathering to catch every single fish, and why fix what isn't broken?
Not to mention DoL off-hands are meant to be used to collect other types of things you can't collect with the main-hand, like how botanists have axes for trees and scythes for bushes.
A fisher could use a net, but considering many of the fish you catch come in at more than 50 ilms (4.1 feet) long, I doubt a net would be of much use bringing that in, let alone a tackle box.

They've said in the past that it won't happen because it would be unfair to other jobs (something to do with consumables). I don't get their reasoning either but that's how it is.

You can actually see which of your retainers has the item and even the tab which it is in. You just need to have the System Messages on from Chat Log options, it should show up there

I asked for this in the past too but judging by how they have so many issues with data transferred and memory and such and how hard it is for them to expand inventory, I don't think this will be happening until 4.0 when they'll increase inventory space.

Yeah, that doesn't even make sense. No other job needs to carry an extra 52 different consumables around (in addition to food and such, which would be the entirety for any other). It's the lack of a tackle box that makes the comparison unfair.
