So ich watched something interesting in Azys La while fishing for opabinia.

Opabinia requires you to catch 3 proto hropken, which are really really rare and it often takes about 30-40 rl minutes of consecutive fishing to get those.

Hropken itself requires fish eyes and either bites on fiend worm or HQ silver fish.

While trying for countless windows, I happened to watch an other player, that fished there every thunder window. He used Fish eye, hooked 1 time, put the rod away, cordial, fish eye, 1 hook, put rod away. He basically wasnt fishing and just wasted countless cordials on activating fish eyes to immediatly cancel it.

Sometimes he actually fished and didnt put the rod away. Whenever that happened, he got a 100% hropken bite.

So...are fish 100% scripted and are there some hacks, tools, whatever that let you know, which fish would bite during that buff?
