Shark Mount

[Snapdragyn]

I'm really not seeing the mathematical possibility of this mount as anything but a lottery ticket win. I've been fishing my fingers off, & have yet to break even 6k. It's to the point I just quit out of the game after only getting 571 points on the entire 1st stop of a journey.

Could this be relabeled as something other than an 'achievement'? Because I fail to see how having the Great Gods of RNG rain down upon you is any sort of 'achievement'. 'Got whacked upside the head by dumb luck,' more like?

I've read the guides, I'm using the right baits for the right areas, I'm level 80 in good gear (not yet 460, but just the step below), I use food for a bit of extra GP, & I save my GP for spectral currents - which, btw, rarely happen at all (even when I've caught spectral fish & had people in my party say that had as well) & even when they do only get me maybe 1-1.5k. Multiple that by 3 stops, throw in a bit extra - maybe someday I'll break 5k before bonus? &... the best bonus is 50%, so... yeah. The math is seriously wonky on this. Effing RNG BS - not 'achievement'.

This just in, fishing is insanely random! Alert the media!
