Yeah, Wint, *ryu will take you to 110, probably to 120 if/when they raise the cap again. I think in BG fishing thread people said most of their bots hit 110 within a week of the update. (They're not ashamed to admit running multiple fishbot accounts). Since autodepletion/recovery science indicates that many fish are level 120+, probably Ebisu fish, Ryugu Titan, and a number of others will all skill to 110, and also probably to 120. Unless they changed the caps around.

Anyways, I'm glad they're doing something to fix fishing. I can't reel in Haks or anything at all on my machine, I have to use the wife's ancient thinkpad because it's so slow. For people wondering what that's all about, for some reason SE thought it was a great idea that the faster your machine, the more the rod jerks around ;) PS2 are super easy to fish on, as are really crappy PCs, but modern PCs make it terrible. To give you an idea of the imbalance, take the "impossible" Ryugu Titan. I say impossible because in the short amount of reel in time, on my PC it changes the rod direction about 3-4 times per second without ever pausing. On my wife's laptop, it changes direction 5 or 6 times total in the entire time it's on the rod.

If Cave Cherax can get you to 110 (they can), I'm sure Haks can...

Some folks aren't aware that many "legendary" fish have caps waaaaaaaaaay over 100, it's just that we've never really known about it for a while because that's what our limit used to be, and because fishing is That One "Craft" where it's easy to catch **** at levels way beyond you at the point where other crafts would not even allow you to attempt the synth.



Whaaaaaat. How does that thing even run the game?

It's fishing. Skillup rate was already craptacular and spotty; it can only be expected to be even more so after 100.

Thankfully it's not like fishing skill means anything.

That's not a bad idea, I just hate waiting for the AH. I guess I can leave a mule at Selbina. I'll give that a shot tonight and see if any skillups are forthcoming.

Eh? Looks like I had better make my way to the test server to see what this is going to do to my favorite in-game pastime.
