shower lure is pointless atm

[Combtay]

So I think this is the third discussion regarding this, but none of them have really given avenues for improvement. Not sure if the dev reads these, but might as well.

I'm currently aiming to complete my Glistening collection, and the only fish I need left for that is the Leeds. The problem is it's already a ~1% spawn in rain which is an uncommon event on its own, on top of needing to hit the 30% for Glistening. I thought maybe the shower lure would help with this.

I've spawned three clouds so far, on average one per 30 bait. Other discussions say it's average one per 50, so I'm not sure which is right. I have not caught a single fish with the cloud up, it disappears far too fast. My friend managed to catch a fish in my cloud, and it wasn't a rain fish anyway. I assume the spawned cloud has the same 8% for a rain fish as normal rain.

It's just not worth it, at all.
I would suggest changing it to one of:
1) Change the cloud to be constant above the player when using the lure.
2) Keep the spawning the same, but have fish caught under the cloud be guaranteed to be rain fish.
3) Or, scrap the cloud entirely and just change the hook to give a doubled (16%) chance to catch rain fish when under normal rain, similar to the magnet lure.

Any support / feedback / other suggestions would be appreciated.

the rate to duration is quite bad, personally i think the simple fix is just have it be a proc on cooldown, and have it last a duration, before the cooldown starts rolling

i get all the other lures are probability and all, but considering the whole point is about catching rain fish which is random anyway, but isn't increasing the chance, it might be best to change how it works.

literally every lure that isn't the patient lure is useless right now

Disagree, hard. Golden lure turns a 0.15% chance to 0.45% chance, that's tripling the chances. Other lures have similar triple or more chances if you're going for specific fishes.

Rain lure is garbo tho.

I guess what I'm saying is that if it makes me click on time: I'm never using the lure, ever. Thanks for the advice though I'll keep that in mind.

you dont even need the patient lure to use its effects, just start typing in chat and the fish minigame wont happen till you stop

I really like the concept of the shower Lure, id like if its duration was doubled atleast

golden lure is utter ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ it only helps for 4 fish and you can just use sparkling for 3 of them and you nearly get the same chance

Shower lure could use a buff! I often don't get a single nibble for the whole duration of the small rain, even with max upgrades and soda buff.

I don't think that is a bad thing per se. Right tool for the right situation. It's the best at getting the 2 golden fish.

yeah but if you look at the wiki you only get a 0.027% increase with the golden hook in comparison to the sparkling lure so its really not that insane, especially since the golden hook always consumes 3 baits

I need rain fish, the shower lure does not help, Its very rare and only lasts for 1 fish, 2 if I'm extremely lucky.

Intuitively I thought this could not possibly make sense, but I did the maths and it does seem that the info on the wiki is right, or at least very close to the truth!
