fishing treasure is OP

[Mrrshan68]

Day 3 in my riverlands greyjoy run and i get a fish with a chest. Inside the chest is the "treasure chest" item (sells for 5000g) and a diamond (sells for 750g).
I had no idea such things were even possible :/
fish was an easy smallmouth bass in the town in bubbly water if it matters.

Random drops are random. Enjoy your well rng'd spoils. And geif some of that luck. :P

What in the world is a Greyjoy Run? >_>

House Greyjoy - We do not sow. Game of Thrones

When i was typing the post i did think maybe someone wouldnt get the reference, i mean i could call it a no planting or fishing/tapping only run.
However "we do not sow" just sounds cool and in this case is very apt.

[I Kinda Fail]

I recognized the name, but never saw the show. Gotcha.

I like the idea of challenge runs but I get too invested in normal runs...

It happened again.
Day 8 fishing on the beach in front of willys shop because he wants 3 anchovy for 120g. Sardine somehow managed to swallow a "treasure chest" itwm (5000g), ruby ring (+10% attack) and dressed spinner tackle item AND 4 coal just because he was really hungry i guess?
I should go buy some lotto tickets i think.

WOW
What fihing lvl u at?

[Mrrshan68]

Just hit lvl 6 at the end of the day (spring 8 year 1).
It seems to be 100% random but damn maybe its a little TOO random. 10,000 gold in the first 8 days due to rng? maybe its a liiiitle much.

Meh. I've fished for a full year, got to level 10, got one legendary fish, caught most of the species and never got one of those. Rng is just rng. Geif luck, tho. GEIF! xP

[tambaloneus]

Bless your RNG coz all I've ever get is bait, copper ore and one time I got a coal. I feel like I've been a naughty girl and all the fish are in cahoots with Santa! Maybe they can see me rifling through everyone's bins...

[Mrrshan68]

Rng is just rng true but usually there are tiers. Like ok have fish be able to drop 5k gold on you but maybe only high level fish can do it.
Like stuff with catfish difficulty at a minimum?
That way its a little more reasonable (since most people wont get catfish without high lvl fishing+tackle) rather than just mugging the scrooge mcfish of the sea (twice) when hunting for starter fish in the first days.

Damn, that's some great RNG right there, I usually don't get all that amazing drops from the chests. I'll just take my 1st try omni-geode prismatic shard and go cry in the corner.

Personally I think it would be more fair if the treasure tier was tied to the difficulty of the fish. Fishing as it is is already one of the best ways to make that early game buck, adding the ability to get a 6K treasure chest on the very third day is quite excessive.

I remember I got a Neptune's Sword like the 1st week from a treasure chest in one run,

Did not need to upgrade sword till I hit cave 90+

[SeemannTheAssamite]

Idk about fair (fair to whom?), but don't you find it both funny and fun that you can get such ridiculous treasure at the beginning? :P

I got my prismatic shard in the skull cavern from a stone i think (was running with bombs)
