Well, my main skill is fishing (just 21, so I am not a pro).

Here is my honest opinion:
Fishing is still OP. You can get very nice amount of fish in a relatively short term. You even can use rods without dura and they are free or 1 fg.

So you just have to spend time and earn so many fg without any serious investment.

Well, after lvl49 you can suffering from the lack of slots and that slow you down (coz a, using Vault b, throw low tier ones away), but well, it is still OP. I don't think it should be changed.
I will say the same if I reach the level when this issue will come up for me too.

Dante, I know you will disagree, but this is my opinion. :)


can you please define "short term" and "nice amount"? in order to fill one stack, I need about 15 hours of fishing, if not more

Okay, I guess you can fish with a same speed like me.
1min = 4 fish (with fails)
In 1h = 240 fish

I haven't calculated it yet, but I guess with your prof you can get average ~ 600 life / mana fishes (from all).
I don't know the prices in HC, but it could be somewhere 800 life/mana is 1 fg.

So, in 1h:
240*600/800=180.

So you can earn 3fg in every minute when you fishing, without any serious investment.

Haven't fished / cooked in like whenever, so my question is, can you just fish at a Rank (say 20) even if you are higher and stack / cook those quicker while still gaining little prof points?

Note: just trying to get my head around this a bit more, since you are Rank 49, cook @ x Rank but fish at Rank 20 getting X type fish and Stack, would that mean your Stacks are larger? Remember... been years ago and a lot of changes have come into play since my time doing it, even though I only got to like Rank 10 fishing and 6 cooking then.

oh, no serious investment, you mean like the 300+ hours I spent fishing to achieve my rank? or the dozens of rods that I snapped during good events?

I am selling life fishes for between ~.3 and .45 a fish, so redo your math, it's clearly flawed

if I was looking for fg, I wouldn't be fishing.

Financial investment of course, every skill requires a lot of time.

I really don't want to make any argument with you mate (I understand your points of course), I just simple disagree in the case of 'make fisher's life easier with more inventory slots, etc'.

Anyhow, happy fishing! ^_^

it's literally "make life bearable without having to trash every eighth fish caught", not "make it easier"....
