Can we change how fishing works a bit?

[Caimie_Tsukino]

I thought fishers had always been complaining about their GP not being useful... And just when GP is useful to fishers now, we got this? O__o

Imo, the current GP cost for things are quite reasonable. And to be fair, the fishing spear provides a crap ton of GP, making fishers having so much more GP than miners/botanists already.

Currently GP us mostly spent to get HQ using the patience + hooksets system. If you make this system too GP efficient, then you wont see NQ fish on the market anymore.

Also making Double Hook available on all tugs will be way too overpowered. That's gamebreaking.

Why though? Big fish have their own catch probability, even if you don't have patience active - they might get away. Some rare fish can't be double hooked anyway. It should only ignore the debuff from the Patience buff but the inherent fish catch rate will still stay like always.
If you look at the GP cost you would invest around 600 for Patience II and would need another 400 for a double hook. You can only use it one time, with a cordial maybe a second time. And if you look at the actual fish you would double hook... well not really many fish are worth more than their vendor price. I wonder why it is game breaking.
If you compare it to spear fishing Bountiful Catch costs 200 GP which is the equivalent to the non-spear fishing which costs 400.

Not a fan of making spear fishing overpowered, my guess is they want to combat fishing bots that can fish at one place forever by making actual nodes to go to, still sucks though.

Why though?

Because big fish are either cought with using precision or powerfull hookset and it requires knowledge wich one is the correct one (well it's usually the same you have to use for the normal variant of the same fish).

The skill I have a problem with is Fish Eyes. It once was a way to prevent us from using Patience for Mooch, but since we now can use cordials while fishing and we have Mooch 2 that's not a real problem anymore. The skill is just a useless GP dump and when there are more than one Fish Eye windows at the same time it becomes a stupid RNG lottery without even casting your fishing rod...

IDK... I mean fish eyes + patience was a fun but calculated dance in HW.

Now, with max melds but using the relic rod, I have 857 GPs without food. I fail to see a problem other than the multiple fish eyes targets and they do that on purpose.
