Fish Quality Post 1.6

[Knight Marius]

Apparently, although I am still testing the system, you cannot get silver, gold, iridium quality fish anymore, they are all basic. I am thinking that the quality of a fish is only improved using the Fish Smoker thing. This is a real bummer in my opinion as it halts money making early and mid game, fishing was the best way to earn decent money while you were waiting for crops to grow or wines to ferment. Has anyone else encountered this?

Weird, I was getting silver and gold fish at Fishing Level 3 in my brand new save just started today with the Meadows Farm.

I just tested this on my endgame file (L10 fishing), and the first fish I hooked was an iridium quality Carp.

Not sure why you're only getting basic quality fish.

Yisus, the update list never ends.

Anyway, this is in my oppinion GREAT. For horders like me it becomes quite crazy the amount of chest on the kitchen to keep all fish, and if you got the same quality 50% of the time depending on skill it would have being better, but it was totally random. I can´t do the dish that needs 4 carps because I sold several to make room, and that made me miss the cook all recipes achievement, and now I suppose I will need to cook even more things to get it.

This really helps I think for new players and even older ones, I´ll have to check, but if it´s retro-updated I just got tons of space in my house.

First fish I got was a silver sardine, so maybe just the RNG gods not being nice.

Quality is based on a few factors.

Fishing Level
Fishing Distance
Perfection.

There might be another im unaware of. However, with the 3 listed, you would need to meet the min criteria before you can get higher QL fish.

Iridium for example, needs a perfect. You will at best get gold, if you dont get perfect.

Distance, is from your cast out. You will get higher QL fish, the farther out you cast. If you cast close to shore, you will only ever get silver fish.

Fishing level, pretty simple. Level 1, even perfect, you wont get iridium, due to clause #2, distance. You cant cast far enough at level 1 to get that quality. I think its around level 3, when you start being able to cast far enough.

So, without seeing how you fish, its kind of hard to actually determine the issue you are having.

I don't know where you were fishing but I think that may make a difference too. In my last game on the quarry farm (Hilltop I believe) I did a lot of fishing in the river that runs through the farm and only got normal fish, even when I was high level. As soon as I moved to a different fishing spot I would get gold and silver fish.

Getting silver and gold without any problems, even at level 2 fishing.

you're game could be bugged, i've gotten all quality types

[Space is the Place]

What a tease. Yeah people are correct, this has not change, different qualities are still present in the rotation, sadly!! Smoking them to get higher quality and selling sounded like a good mechanic for the excess fish.

Are you using a Training Rod?

[maniacal<1>]

I'm fishing up gold with the starting rod.
You've just got ♥♥♥♥ luck, mate.

I'm not even joking when I tell you 80-90% of my fish on this fresh save are gold or iridium quality. Idk if it's my seed or what, but I am making bank in my first year of spring.
