This fish is still problematic, plz fix this SE

SE, please fix Sculptor its too rare

[ServerCollaps]

simply because a fish needs more than 10 windows doesnt make it too rare. Steth is fine as it is :shrug:

Fishing has always been a niche, RNG-laden class that really fit a relaxed and patient playstyle.

Makes me wonder if you guys just picked the wrong class and realised it far too late.

RNG is ok, but the amount Fisher has just makes me feel like I'm wasting my time. I figured it would be relaxing, but after failing to catch something for so long I'm just stressed thinking "am I doing something wrong?"
Especially since I've found a lot of misinformation and conflicting info about how fishing works. Some swear that if you try and catch a boss fish with a lower iLVL it helps you for certain reasons and other people say that's bunk just get your stats up and others say the bonuses your stats give you cap around 15% for Fisher and if your stats are at that exactly you get better RNG and RRRNNNGNGGG!

How it works:

Better stats give you better chances up to a cap. Every fish has a gathering cap. On white fish hitting the cap means you can't loose them. Most green fish have a built in escape percentage at their gathering cap. Ever fish for Ninja Bettas? HQ will cap at 15%.

Going past the cap neither adds nor subtracts anything. Well, pentamelding gear does subtract gil ...

I will keep all this in mind.
Thank you.

You can use the collectability window to hold onto the HQ sculptor until the stetha window opens. This made it much easier on the timing part, since you can catch the scultporx2 during one window and hold it until the stetha window opens. I believe this is how I eventually got the dang thing.

I have the feeling that with how they want to rework cellectability items in 5.3, this trick will no longer work then...

Does this still work with the changes to collectables?

Yes it does. Fisher actually did not got any changes to the collectable system.
