Buff Fishing

[Crim]

I mean seriously... The Fish rewards for Fishing are a joke...

Even the ONCE PER GAME LEGEND Fish is only worth 5,000

Excuse me as I sell this common Duck for 5,200

You could literally DOUBLE the value every fish... RIGHT NOW... and Fishing would still be pretty subpar as a monetary activity.

Wouldn't it make fishing too OP due to the prices of fish and the exploit to pause while fishing to get a ton more fish in a day then you should?

I kept legend as a prize, you should of fished him in one of the spots which grant high quality fish to make him almost 10k when sold (Angler profession)

Yeah a Duck can be sold at 5200 but you need time and hay to make that happen which adds up if you think about the price per hay (even if you cut it yourself) compared to bait which is very very easy to get and rack up.

Legend were not meant to be re-caught for money, just for an achievement and pat yourself on the back for how well you got at fishing to begin with -shrugs-

Time Spent fishing is literal Time. Also, the price doesn't really matter if you're exploiting...

Legend doesn't feel as 'Legendary' if it's not even worth very much. Not to mention the Duck isn't even the most expensive animal to sell. Oh, and what are you talking about you need to feed the duck. Grass grows naturally every day. It's not difficult to have max Hay for free. None of the other fishes really make any significant profits either. The best profit you can get from Fishing is probably getting REALLY lucky on the treasures.

This is completely ignoring making Wine or something because Fishing doesn't even get to be in the same planet as the profits that makes.

The only thing Fishing comes close to is Selling Metal Bars for Cash. Which I will say is probably another thing that needs to be buffed/doubled. It should be AT LEAST 500g base for a Gold Bar. Tho, that's a argument for a different thread.

fishing do's not need a buf
lucky on fisching ?? man , i make on average per day 4000 gold just doing fishing in lakes
i start around 10-11 AM and stop at 10:30-11:00 PM that means i have plenty of time to do my crop's or do annimal stuf
this means you need to sell every day atleast 8 ducks to get to 4000 gold
pigs are better but jeah good luck breeding them
legend fish is ONLY legend as its rare,,not that it is expensive for making money

in the end breeding and selling annimals,or fishing is not the main money makers in the game,they are only at best a supplement to your wallet ,, espesialy early in game
or a need for the ingredients for making meals, thats all

4k is chump change by like the end of the first summer... and you have you stop and think about the fact you probably spend like an hour of real life time fishing that long... and you have to think about the fact that's about as good as it going to get.

I think you just made a case as to why Fishing needs to be buffed.

leaving fishing. see with fishing you do crab pots. 75 gold/day per crab pot. crab pots cost 1500. pays for themselves in 20 days.

works out to be about 1 million a month for 500 crab pots. *shrug*

its...enough money. might not be the 10 million a month of farming, or mining. but its enough money to do anything.

main thing with the fishing is to get the starting scratch.

I'm more worried about actual fishing, crab potting is a pretty passive experience.

Not every skill needs to be extremely good money.

Farming - slow but steady profits. Good source of food.
Fishing - fast but low profits. Good source of food and treasure, such as diamonds or rubies.

Farming - requires you upgrade your tools and/or buy tons of sprinklers and seeds. Has a limited amount of crop space.
Fishing - just needs a cheap rod and some bait for a steady 5k per day. Adding crab pots adds a lot more value.

Hi, at the moment, you can catch the Legend as many as lucky you are. That's 11,250g/Legend with Angler Proffesion.

I think fishing is the way it is because the main focus of the game is farming and that's what you're intended to spend most of your time and effort on. So it makes sense that farming would be the most rewarding activity.

I feel like it's mostly meant for cooking/gifts and artifacts and not intended as a good alternative for making money except for very early on when your farm is still small and you don't have access to the mines yet.
