Great Idea for Useless Fish

[S-C-R-Y-E]

Can we get a new cooking recipe that will accept ANY kind of fish so we can maybe get some use out of these fish that have no real purpose. We can even call the recipe 'fishsticks'! Just like in real life, you never know what kind of fish is really in your fishsticks despite what they might show on the box.

We could even make a higher level version called 'cat food' that will again accept any type of high level fish and is sure to be favorite for our Miqo'te brethren everywhere.

Hahaha nice idea.
Or maybe we could be able to turn any fish into chum, which can help with mooching.

Tbh I can tell what fish or in fishsticks by taste since I've ate most fish in the world outside 5 of them but ya

They're always good for a Fine Sand plus 1-3 Water Shards/Crystals/Clusters.

But I do agree it would be nice if more fish had a use other than desynthesis considering the hundreds of different fish in the game. Or at least put more variety into the desynthesis loot table.

LOL! This is a funny idea, but I like it!

I think the problem is with the way recipes work. It doesn't need seem to be geared for "insert any one of a range of items here" or maybe we'd have more flexibility in other recipes too.

That's true.
And especially as they semi-regularly cull items they dont need to worry too much about item bloat with recipies.
Fishing may be the thing where they have to start taking a look at it though, though I agree with you that this may not be the solution we see.

Hm? Since when do they cull items? The only 3 examples I can think of are old tomestone gear being augmented by default, collectables, and Ishgard stages. All of which were just this expac, and were related to systems-level changes.

At least reinstate pigments to fish desynthesis

Alternate idea: each time you fish up something that is not for crafting, desynth for rare item, or turn in fish, it does not get added to the inventory, only the fishing log.

The fish prints on the wall can be changed to selecting from fish you have already registered in your fish log instead of having to keep a fish in your back pocket for ages till you discover how you get them to be put on the wall.
