I hear a lot of myths and I’m wondering which ones are true (if any).
True/False:
-
The higher your fishing level the higher chance of catching a fish.
-
Fishing potions work for only 10 casts (if not how many, and how many does an aged one do?)
-
Certain lakes have certain fish (I.e it’s impossible to catch clownfish in the starting area lake no matter your lure) (if this is the case how am I supposed to find out what lakes have what without wasting hours on the wrong lakes?)
-
Certain lakes have better catch rates than others (I.e your more likely to catch sunfish than bass in the starting area but in another lake you might have a better chance for bass AND if #3 is false then are you more likely to catch clownfish faster in certain lakes than others?)
-
The longer the lure is in the water the higher the chance of a fish biting (I.e your chances scale like after 10 seconds your chances double)
Lastly: how does the system decide whether a fish will bite or not? Is it just every second it runs RNG for if your going to catch a fish? Is it predetermined that after x amount of seconds you will catch a fish etc.
It’s amazing how many people say these things but I’m pretty sure most of them are wrong. Maybe you should have these myths cleared up in game as well when you complete the second fishing quest or something.
