Hey guys just peeping my head in waiting for Ninja to be added. Been spending my last few months playing another MMO (not naming to protect the innocent) In that MMO, fishing and cooking are both a thing to do and relevant. They are also both easy to cap but since FFXIV takes a few Nods from said MMO, it would be nice if they did the same.
Dunno what MMO you're talking about, but usually people say that FFXIV heavily borrowed from WoW.
If you're talking about WoW, food is kinda "lol-worthy". There's... what, again? 6 foods that are actually useful at endgame, and one that is "meh"?
Fishing is only "meh" as far as being "Relevant". Some of those foods require fish, but then there's an NPC that sells you everything to make those foods for seals you get by doing dailies. Once you get enough to make a few stacks of said food, that's all you need for quite some time (the foods last an hour each).
And even then, if you use Banquets, you only need 1 of those per type (so, 3)
for the entire raid group. Or you could simply use the Pandaren Banquets that rain like candy. You only need ONE of those for a whole raid group. You get them out of loot bags, you get them from Timeless Isles dropped off the snakes, etc etc etc. I've got 80+ of them sitting in my Guildbank, and I'm a casual player. They are dirt cheap on the AH too.
Fishing is only good to get the Angler's Rep up to get the Raft, once you have the Raft and the Waterstrider Mount, you're done with fishing. You could maybe get Nat's Hat, but why? You don't need fishing skill; you have 100% chance of success while fishing out of schools (which are easy to find).
So I hope you're not talking about WoW..... because what you said is simply not true whatsoever.
EDIT: I forgot about Noodle Carts. Use 3 of each of the "best" foods in the game to make... how many Noodle Carts is it again? 5?. One Noodle Cart allows
everybody in the raid to get 5 foods (you're only allowed to carry 5 at a time) that last an hour each. lol. So... what, 15 foods you make to give out 625 foods to your entire raid group.
EDIT2: Even further, I forgot about Nomi! Once you finish his questline, you have an NPC you can summon once per day who gives you... 3 or is it 5? I forget, random top-quality food per day
for free, if the Noodle Carts and free Banquets weren't enough for you.
Who needs to fish and cook, again?
