On a more serious note, this is feedback from a person who doesn't fish himself, but is a herbalist in contact with several fishers and wants to help them fish (and maybe one day pick it up myself).
- Folk are currently not seeing much difference when fishing with worms vs bait. And considering how easy it is to get worms, bait seems to be worthless. However, a thing which seems to crop up from everyone is that they're only getting small/medium fishes, and only now I managed to get out first batch of large bait to one of fishers (and huge bait was bugged up until 30 minutes ago, merging three recipes in one, so yet to make that) to see if it will properly help them.
-----Suggestion 1: Either limit what worms can catch even more, or make it so that using bait reduces the chance for low-quality fish.
-----Suggestion 2: Reduce worm rate (especially once other bait types appear in game - looking at you, bug jar) or success chance
- If you're into money (especially with lack of new recipes at the moment), baitless fishing is actually most profitable, both lucky chances as well as how much "trash" (which sells for max appraise) you pull.
-----No suggestion, hopefully this will simply drop out once recipes appear for new food and other items, making actual fishing be more worth. Cheering on all involved on getting stuff through.
- Already discussed but eggs. A thing not used in server much (my character IC has actually quipped that it's surprising that eggs are such a rarity on isle over a month ago, way before anything was known of fishing update), suddenly becoming a possible necessity. Currently, there's few ways how to get em:
------What was previously thought to be most common: Just rummaging in "trash containers" and beating down couple specific mobs to get it as loot
------What incorrectly was thought as most common: Cordor Farm ("Speckled Egg" is different from "Egg", and doesn't work for bait atm). Only sells limited amount of eggs (per reset? time period?). However, been told "Speckled Egg" will work too soonTM.
------There's also a couple farms around surface with henhouses, but they seem to be spawning eggs either once per reset, or too slowly. Suggestion to increase rate.
------The actual most common way: A single(maybe?) shop selling them for 3gp. Will leave it at FOIG but say it exists. But a suggestion to add one more shop, preferably not far from either one of farms, or docks (to imply import).
