Post grade change fishing 40+Follow

After the grade changes I've found it difficult to keep up the pace for ranking up fishing.

I am closing in on 40 fast and grade 5 is starting to slow down for me (less than 300 per fish). I know its still good for a while but mid 40s will be horribly slow. Is there a good place for me to keep up the pace? or did the grade "fix" make it so the last push to 50 will be slow?

Thanks for the help!

sorry to inform you that your sp is going to drop to around 115 per grade 5 fish at 49, the catch to this as I'm sure you've found out is that the grade 5 based leves give you 2.8k minimum without speed bonus or guardian aspect up to 4.7k with both of those bonuses and that's just in terms of the bonus sp you get for completion

if you haven't started already, I would seriously recommend getting BTN to 25 for access to the ability Sweat of Brow, it activates like any gathering ability (randomly) and results in double sp gain for any gathering action which produces it (so successes and damages alike), remember that as far as we know the gathering fatigue is class specific, so you could conceivably hit the 150 wall on fishing for the day and then pop on to BTN to bring that to the wall, the ability is well worth the effort

also, with the upcoming changes to the leve system you will be able to increase your leve usage rate as long as you restrict yourself to one class's set of leves, when I pick up BTN again that's what I'm going to do since the grind beyond 40 can be a drag

Thanks for the reply, very good tip on the Sweat of the brow. I'm in the 20s with BTN so it will be a small push to get it. I wonder when they are going to bring the higher grades back.
