Fishing compared to other DoL

[Kolbey]

Also what's your DEX / PIE? Maybe that's what's giving you issues?

[Vesper]

So, why is it that fishing is so much more difficult than mining or logging? Each action takes a lot longer, and a lot of times you won't even get a fish when you wait, or the fish will leave on the first jig. This is even more evident on fieldcraft leves.

Near as I can tell, this is done because of the fishing spots where you can fish infinitely, to stop people from getting tons of SP during fieldcraft leves. So, my proposal is as follows:

Remove the ability to fish at any body of water, and let us only fish at schools of fish. Or, if you don't remove the ability to fish at any water, then at least make schools of fish function similarly to mining and logging points.

As it stands, fishing is more difficult to level than the other two DoL, and this is on top of the drops being not as useful (as there is still no real conclusive data on the benefits of food). Please fix this, there's no reason for fishing to be this bad.

Hey there, I released a fishing guide on lodestone that I had made for my LS and they said it was very helpful, perhaps something in it may help you understand fishing better? Just look in my sig for the lodestone article ^^

Good luck man, once you get the hang of fishing its great

My DEX and PIE, along with all my other stats, are at 70.

Overall stats have little effect on anything currently, iv'e had my piety high in the past and it made no difference. I pull x3 as my average number. I am saying that the max pull total should be increased to be more on par with what a miner and botanist can pull in one hit. Right now fishing is x3 pull max, with the exception of Indigo Herring, which both come in x4 on occasion. The actual speed of fishing no fisher should actually complain about now that I think of it. We can go to one spot and stand there all day, Botanist and Miners needs to run around to different nodes, sometimes have a node close on them before it is finished being harvested. Sometimes the nodes are very far apart.

Overall pull totals could use an increase, but imo no one should complain about the extra few seconds it takes to pull in a fish.

As I pointed out in the other thread Vesper, mining yield cap is 3, same as fishing. The only significant desparity is logging at a cap of 5.

Actually mining hardcap for high rank items is actually 1. Gems, all Gold, and Mythril is capped at 1.
For refference top wood, Mahogany, is also capped at one log.

If anything should be adjusted, it should be logging down to a cap of 3 for MH, not an increase to fishing.
When high ranking fish can still be caught at 3 per, while other skills are capped at 1, I'm not sure really what you are complaining about.

Please give examples of specific materials that you feel are imballanced.

This is the same problem I have. Yes what is explained as Jig Lag. It's a failed anti-bot messure they ninja after Beta 2
it's actually a two fold thing. In alpha b1/b2 I had no problems fishing but Mining and gathering were unusable.
starting in OBT I couldn't catch a fish but could do all the gathering and mining I wanted. each instance it was what
is called jig lag. jig then fail or swing then fail.

I no the problem is my slow ass internet because I'm on satellite but really for what we are doing these timers shouldn't be there or atleast be set higher as to not cut a part of the game out for people with higher ping times.

[Alise]

You don't have to walk to find a new location between each fishing like botanist and miner.

So it is already fair.

I think the OP is doing something completely wrong. Fishing is fine, and you're seriouisly complaining something is "hard" or "harder"? Stop, stop stop stop stop. Fishing is fun and not difficult at all, if you're seriously pulling up 2-3 fish in a 30 min leve YOU ARE FAILING AT THIS GAME AND NEED TO STOP BEING BAD.

Don't ask for something to be easier, you need to improve. Whenever I do a fishing leve I finish it in 5-10 mins depending on the leve. I usually catch every fish and have no problems getting bites or anything. I'm doing level20 leves at level 19 too.

If anything should be adjusted, it should be logging down to a cap of 3 for MH, not an increase to fishing.

Totally agree, and I'm a CRP and BTN.
