    You say fishing isn't fun but you have master angler on 12 characters...

    Fair point. I guess watching tv shows on the other monitor makes it bearable enough though, or doing it with friends.

    It breaks my heart that you got the title on twelve chars yet you don't find the activity fun :(

    Anyways, congrats for such commitment.

    Just wanted to add. This is incredible. I myself have 3 anglers, my friend has 3 as well. We both are closing in on number 4. This is Xbox, but still having 12 is insane.

    My buddy kept track of his fishing too, and his results are as follows

    9989 fish, 99 perfect roe

    So nearly 1 roe for every fish.

    Couple tips. If you're stuck on a blue for a long time, move somewhere else. The following day come back and watch as you catch what you need in 10 or less casts.

    We also started a strategy where we would focus on green fish, once we had those we left. We worked it down to only blues, then worked on those. Made it MUCH faster.

    Congrats! My ingame name is master angler - and I still give my hats off. Impressed over here!!

    I started fishing in 2015 when they released the xp boost drink, just like everyone else at the time. I got master angler within a relativly short period of time, right before imperial city was released. Several months later, between the thieves guild and dark brotherhood patches i was really bored and decided to go for master angler again. Ever since, i just kept going due to boredom in both pve and pvp.

    Now, i finally got it on all 12 characters, and i have lost count at this point how many times i've rewatched my favorite tv shows.

    Here is a short video in where i show all 12 moments i got master angler (I did each run in the same order of zones, with Cyrodiil lake being the last one always) Also i apologize for the blurrs in the top right and bottom left, they are there to hide guild chat and my screenshot location.

    https://youtube.com/watch?v=E_qks6LIn-Y


    Now onto some stats.

    Each master angler run i got somewhere around 8k non achivement fishes caught, and around 70-80 perfect roe. Down below is a breakdown of each individual angler run:

    1# Character: No data recorded.

    2# Character: 7469 Fishes, 90 Perfect roe.

    3# Character: 8233 Fishes, 80 Perfect roe.

    4# Character: 8439 Fishes, no data on Perfect roe.

    5# Character: 8199 Fishes, 76 Perfect roe.

    6# Character: 8050 Fishes, 74 Perfect roe.

    7# Character: 8840 Fishes, 89 Perfect roe.

    8# Character: 7824 Fishes, 68 Pefect roe.

    9# Character: 8574 Fishes, 82 Perfect roe.

    10# Character: 8233 Fishes, 82 Perfect roe.

    11# Character: 7960 Fishes, 82 Perfect roe

    12# Character: 10629 Fishes, no data on Perfect roe (Still fileing the fish from this run, the extra 2k fish from this run was mostly foul water because the foul blue fish in Cyrodiil refused to take the bait for a good long while).

    Also something noteworthy is that rng can be horrible at times. Like mentioned above, it can take more then 9 hours of straight fishing to get a blue fish, or you can catch the same one multiple times in a row before you finally catch that green fish you need to move on to the next water type.2koAgC1.jpg

    To sum it up, Zenimax i beg you please revisit the fishing system in this game. It can have so much potential to be a fun activity, but with the way it is now it just isn't. I was really excited when i read about this fishing related drink from the new life festival, but was dissapointed in that it only did what PC addons have already done for a long time. Master angler is a time consuming achivement no doubt, and i don't think you would hear many people complaining if you for example, added something like a craftable set that only gives bonuses to fishing. I mean, you have sets that reduce guard and trap damage, why not make a set that benefits something like this? :)

    I hope you enjoyed the read, and to zos if you are reading this, please i beg you, do something with fishing!

    Oh, and here is my crafting bag (Some of this is also from crafting writs and hireling mails, and in gerneral just container looting)

    Now this is someone I would call Lord and Savior. Amazing stuff, I completed it on a single character, since AD scare away fish with destro ultis and shiet.

    I just started my master angler journey on PS4 so wish me luck!

    Im doing it on PS4 and am yet to try the fish-eye food. What exactly does it do?


    *BTW anyone doing it on ps4 use headphones and do something else - read, watch videos, study etc
    You will hear a tugging noise and eventually you'll just know when to reel in.
    Also make sure you have auto loot on so when running between spots you can loot mats way easier

    Sorry if thats the obvious but this isnt my field on eso haha

    I usually fish after I finish an area. I go for about 20 minutes a day or so or until I run out of bait.

    Thank you very much, and good luck on your jouney! :) I have heard about the strategy of moving to different water typed when the blue one wont take the bait, but my brain keeps telling me if i switch water type then rng jesus will punish me even further, hehe

    Now, i finally got it on all 12 characters, and i have lost count at this point how many times i've rewatched my favorite tv shows.

    My respect for you. I only completed it on my main a long time ago (about one year and half). Just tried again some days ago but its too boring and stressful for me so I stopped fishing. I remember it took me a whole month (about 10 hours of gameplay each day) for just one character (long before IC appeared). Now, where you using a add-on to avoid the hassle of manual reel-in based on what you said in the quote before? (I know there is one for automatic filleting). Maybe I can try again if there is one.

    Nope, i reeled it it myself. The fishing related addons i use are: rare fish tracker, votans fish file, and destinations to add map pins of water hole pins on the map, but after a while i learnt all the hard to find fishing holes by heart.

    I did get all DLC fishing achivements on my main character already, and did a few of them on my second character too, but then i stopped and just decided to go for master angler on each character instead.

    But just want to clarify on something said upthread. Does water type and/or bait not make a difference any more? Can you catch blue fish anywhere? Or have I misunderstood.

    I think i missunderstood the question at first. The type of bait you use does matter for different water types. For example, to catch ocean fish you need worms or chub, and for lake you need guts or minnow. I'd recomend this guide by @MissBizz , a really great tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mxsk_1kH7I8

    Congratulations! That is very impressive.

    Now, one think I have to say, is that getting rare fish is MUCH easier if you are fishing with two other people. That is particularly useful in dangerous areas like Cyrodiil.

    Indeed it is better rng with multiple people, for cyrodiil there is actually a trick you can use. If you go into sneak and throw the bobber into the water while going into sneak, you will stay hidden until you reel in. You can see alot of that in the video.

    kudos to you...ive been fishing on an off since i started and only got a few greens and 2 blues...at times i thnk fishing for all the greens and stuff is too time consuming.
    maybe im not using the right bait combinations or whether i have to mix the combinations at all...so to get master fisher on 12 chars is pretty dam amazing.

    I wouldn't recommend going for it multiple times really, there are better things to do, like cleaning your room. Which reminds me, i need to get on that

    Thanks for the reply - I'm on my way to this title but have been pvping lots recently so was concerned something had changed as a previous post by Tandor confused me - thought he was saying that the different types of blue fish can appear in any water - but having re-read the posts think I misunderstood. :#
