Part of experiencing new content is discovering it in the first place.
Or that nice-looking armor?
We work tirelessly to delve into the inner workings of new content to benefit the whole community.

But what about the rest of the content and the work that goes into that?
They dont know which bait is needed.
Are the fish moochable?

No one knows at first.
Thats where the fishing community comes together to find out.
Each fish has a spreadsheet, with sections dedicated to weather combinations, time blocks, and baits/mooch.

Players then test and record their findings, adding the data for each fish.
So having one or a few tests does not mean that isnt the right window.
Its quite a process.

Ive seen the work done for it compared to hardcore raiding and in some sense that might be correct.
Fish get harder and rarer the later in the patch they are released, Fruity adds.
So big fish in Patch 6.1 are typically more common and less difficult than fish released in Patch 6.5.

Discovery happens on these fish as well and works the same way.
Fish from Patch 6.1 took less than a day to find.
Fish in Patch 5.55, the Shadowbringers Legendaries, took over a week to find them all.
Each major patch that adds new fish is always a fun event with everyone buzzing with curiosity and intrigue.
The Fisher community overall is very egalitarian, Tyoto says.
