In the many years of Fishing i have never actually understood what the actual point of fishing gear is even good for... I understand what Perception and Gathering stats do but for fishing they are pointless numbers. With botanist and miner I can with my 430 gear go to an old Folklore node and boom it shows me which spot its at and I can mine it without using GP to show it to me now...

Why is it this doesnt seem to work in the same aspect of Fishing. Why doesnt our high Perception allow us to circumvent mooching or weather times. Logistically I understand that would in a lot of coding involved but tbh there could be a ability that allows you to see these fish perhaps they could call it Fish Eyes or something....

Ok so we dont want fishing to be easy or everyone would do it again i understand... However right now im typing this out of frustration b/c im trying to do the quest "Feast of Famine" in Urth's Gift trying to catch a Namitaro (Level 50 ★★★). Why have i used up over 400 Glowworms (yes im using the right weather) and i have only caught 3 Giant Takitaro (Level 50 ★★★) to spark the buff to allow me to catch Namitaro...

Giant Takitaro only needs 385 gathering Minimum to catch... Being level 80 with my 410 gear i have 1475 gathering... So HOW have i only caught 3... This is more illogical than failing a 99% synth 5 times in a row.
