    Fishing provisioning missions need to be retuned

    Fishing provisioning missions seem to be based on fish level, rather than the level of the bait or skill required to catch the fish. These missions are often difficult, if not impossible, to complete without first leveling up, making them vastly more time-consuming than any other supply or provisioning missions.

    For example:
    At fishing level 23, my daily fishing provisioning mission required me to turn in five Blue Octopus. These are caught by mooching. Fishers do not learn the skill Mooch until fishing level 25, making these impossible to catch before that.

    At fishing level 25, my daily fishing provisioning mission required me to turn in ten Four-eyed Fish. Although these are technically obtainable before level 27, they are extremely rare. I fished for more than an hour and only caught four.

    As soon as I hit level 27 I switched to a Chocobo Fly lure. I caught six more Four-eyed Fish and finished my provisioning mission in under ten minutes.

    At fishing level 27, my daily fishing provisioning mission required me to turn in ten Monkfish. After half an hour of fishing and a bit of research, I gave up. These may be obtainable before Spoon Worm bait becomes available at level 30, but I was unable to catch a single one.
    Tuning fishing provisioning missions according to the level requirement of the requisite bait or skill (mooching, dune fishing, etc.) rather than the fish themselves would fix this problem and bring fishing missions in line with all the other supply and provisioning missions.

    As an aside, limiting posts to 1000 characters is absurd. It encourages superficiality and incompleteness while discouraging thoughtful adult discussion. It is also a trifle insulting.
