Thread: 3.5 Fishing

I usually get about 6-8 HQ crabs per riddle window. Just use Patience I, it works out with your GP. That said, crabs bite after ~15-19 sec with a light tug, dont reel anything else in, its just a waste of time and lowers your amount of chances

same with opabinia...3 bites and got away 3 times.

Sea Butterfly is one of the easier ones, it takes like 2 minutes to get the buff, you just show up and leave after 5 minutes, theres no time effort involved. Problematicus and opabinia require you to invest 30-60 minutes of preparation for a single 1-2 min buff, which is waaaayy worse imo. Btw, you can use Patience II to always get 3 HQ crabs, once you have intuition

funfact: you cant catch those fish in HQ with 640 perception, they'll always be NQ, even under the effect of patience II

You're so lucky, I am 0/16 with Problematicus. 831 gathering and just cannot seem to reel him in.
