Fishing is the hidden gem of New World and my favorite past time of the game. While I understand why it was nerfed after launch (thank you bots…) I think its time to give boosts to the treasure chests.
There rewards are abysmally bad now. Their drop late is lower than hidden stashes from other resource gatherings and the items\gold are worse. As a t4 item it should feel exciting to get, but at this point I’d rather get a fish.
Please… Make Fishing great again!
Ags, while you are at it. Please make the reward from legendary pole better, all of them are useless compared to some of the crafted ones.
I also think there should be a new quest at fishing 200 for some unique reward, even if it’s a unique furniture worth tons of points for housing score. I feel like fishing had a great start with quests but rewards almost all disapointing.
Chests should contain items that are in limited supply across the island, like garlic, salt, quintessence, etc. The chests should contain items with the total value (on the TP) equate to 150g or 200g or whatever. That way you always feel like you actually get something you can sell or you can use in lieu of buying the same thing on the TP.
I’ve mostly lost hope for fishing, they can’t seem to figure out the balance of being abused by bots and not to be abused.
Mark chest rewards as unsellable on the TP and put the good stuff back in there.
Problem solved.
Obviously need to have everyone solve captchas each time they cast.
When your luck is high enough you only get chests or leggo fish. I maxed fishing the other day and ended up opening like 160 worthless chests. I think I have 95 or so of the fishing music page.
And I feel like this is exactly the issue. Maxing out a stat should be rewarding. The leggo fish are great for sure, but the chests are so worthless that I would rather have fish oil than whatever is inside.
totally would rather have a chest of fish oil or fish. Most unrewarding treasure chest ever.
which is probably why they aren’t that fruitful, because that’s what people would end up doing all day. I get so many gems from fishing crates and the oil sells for an oddly decent amount as do the fillets. That can’t be news to you surely.
They should just put the gold back in the chests and call it a day. Bots are still farming, people are still buying gold. Don’t think it has really stopped too much. The chests are worthless for sure, I’m never excited to get them. 9 out of 10 casts are chests from a 3 star leggo hole 
After the BS update you’ll be able to get 5 music sheets from the fishing chests. They are exclusive to the chests.
Not much but it’s something that shows they haven’t forgotten about them. I’m very curious about the 3-guitar ensemble
…and after those 5 sheets we are back to the same pointless chests again.
Music sheets don’t make chests worth it.
Yes
