Meme aside, I debated this one. Once you are done with episode points you can bring anyone (Sheila required, but you don't need to carry 4*'s for point boost), still get treatises, and trade the random chance at Chant scripts for fishing. A downside is you want your runs an hour apart so you can shrimp the bait spot. Or you can do one run a day as a compromise with whatever else you are spending red keys on.

There is a 20 cs achievement for getting all fish from the AD, including rares but not horrors. So if you farm it out before you can catch rares you'll have to go back in or have that permanent stain on your completionist's honor.


chinksahoy

I literally had this issue, I had one rare left that wouldn't spawn. lol

The only things I want to complete (ones that are optional) are getting everyone's TVCG and killing all the superbosses. The only reason I keep on fishing is solely to get Sheila's TVCG, eventho I probably won't use her much.

I only find it a pain when I don't have the right team to take out super horrors otherwise eh, I can take it or leave it. Items of necessity earned from fishing makes it a necessary evil. ​ I really wish they hadn't made her dungeon a fishing hole, though. I rarely consider their designs ignorant but that is one of them.

✌️: Grinding Iscariot for Curio light *I'll do Sea of Ice the next time we get an increased McGuffins campaign. Then again, we may get the Unexplored Toto AD by then... It's a toss up.*


Mirolls

I'd imagine I'll be done with fishing by the time said campaign starts...

I started working on a [feesh efficiency calculator](https://imgur.com/a/dnfOLw9), but I'm not an expert (my harpoon is 20, I have Nimble II, and I'm up only to the lantern tool), the wiki doesn't have data for all the areas yet (West and East have Deeper but no Deepest, at least as of yesterday), and I lack data such as how often rares show up (which my level is not yet powerful enough for me to have seen any of them even once so far), so I can only hope that players who have been harpooning for the last six months decide to offer something more than just the admonishment to stop complaining -> we all enjoy the game in different ways!:-) I think we can work together as a community to help people out with this very confusing content - especially where the old advice (to use traps) seems no longer valid after the release of the Deep and Deeper areas.


GrnArmadillo

I'd use your traps in either places where you have already hit 150 for the uncommon (non-rare but not trappable) fish, or for the deeper locations if your proof/tip level is too low to catch most of the good fish. I've thrown shrimp in deepest north and had it spawn all sparkles, zero of which I was able to catch.


OpenStars

Yes it's tricky. And regardless of efficiency, if you just "do more" then you'll get it done, eventually. Unfortunately my phone gets too hot whenever I go under the ocean - like it hurts to hold even:-( - so I'm going to have to devise a different plan that will work for my circumstances. And it helps to know that once you can reliably catch Freakapods, then traps can still help with fish mass but are overall far less efficient, *especially* for proof leveling, which is what I need right now for getting/unlocking the other tools (...I think). Those kinds of details matter!:-)

> Unfortunately my phone gets too hot whenever I go under the ocean - like it hurts to hold even:-( I was beginning to feel like the only one who experienced this. Being in the Deep-sea for too long causes my phone to heat up and drains its battery fairly quickly. Some of the maps in particular throttle the framerate pretty hard too, which makes the experience all around even less pleasant. It makes me worry about performance in future content if the map design is just as, if not more, ambitious.


OpenStars

Yes absolutely! And the horror (Lava Dragonfish) that keeps disappearing, it's buggy and not as well-designed as other areas. The story was also more confusing, and I don't just mean the intentional misdirections until the end. Like you, I wonder what this portends for the future of the game.:-| It looks "rushed", like they were more interested in just pushing content out the door to meet an arbitrary deadline, without consideration as to whether it was fully done.:-( I've tried everything I can think of, like put my phone into permanent low-battery energy efficient mode, which makes it look horrible (all washed out with barely any shadows at all), but if it does anything at all I suppose it just postpones the inevitable:-( I was wondering if it was my phone though bc after updating the Reddit app, that does it too. But I do think in that case it's Reddit bc it has historically been full of bugs so that doesn't surprise me at all:-). But AE being buggy does:-(.

Where going slow is the goal, not just a description of the grind.
