so well...seriously. i also have the feeling they increased the droprate. i remember how hard my master angler was, how long i have been fishing for some of them, morrowind was very very fast compared to some zones back then.... actually fishing in morrowind was very disappointing in that case.

I also noticed that, Vvardenfell took me about 5 hours to clear on my main, with lake taking up 3 of the hours. Went really fast compared to other dlc zones.

One thing missing from the graphs...

How many single runes did you find in Wet Gunny Sacks? Seriously, they need to buff the rewards for Wet Gunny Sacks.

Yeah, gunny sacks are pretty bad, but i do get around 5-8 kutas per run from them. But on PC EU they're worth only 2,5k each, so it's pretty meh.

Wowsers, i never knew fishing was so... ermmm complicated thats a professional approach you have there.

Hehe, fishing is simple, if you have bait you can fish I just wanted to save all the data i could be bothered to save and then present it here, i find reading stats like this fairly interesting!

I been working on my first since launch.

What does Master Angler give you other than a nice title? Better chance at Perfect Roes? :-P

Whenever someone says, "With all due respect", it usually means there's no respect meant whatsoever. Not to mention the "You need to get a life" statement is bull. Everyone has a life, a person's life can be anything, even gaming.

I noticed dlc comes take about 4-6 hrs and vvardenfell took me 4ish. Ad zones took me 9-14 hrs solo per zone and ep 6-9 hrs per zone and dc 5-8 hrs per zone. Craglorn 8 hrs and all I did solo (except alikir and craglorn) and pre homestead master angler. Vvardenfell was the only zone I did after homestead and took me 4 hrs solo. Zos needs to add a grand master angler title for getting all fishing achievements Including dlc and it being harder to get the more dlc is released

I haven't actually bought it myself at all yet If i recall right, it's fairly expensive, but if we can ever place our alts inside our homes, i'd buy a boat for all my alts and place them beside them

Please bring a sense of humour to the forums next time, if you can find one.

I respected the guys post and offered a suggestion to why fishing may feel like it's been buffed - all I did was start off with a bit of humour. I don't think I deserved being called out for my opening sentence.

First, let me just say I'm stunned. Not by the fishing.....well, yes, by the fishing.....but you made a graph! You graphed your fishing! I like fishing in the game...mostly because I like wet gunny sacks, but what the heck are you going to do with all that fish? Shame you can't feed the multitudes or something.

Well done to the 14th power!

Hippie4927

You are a sick and twisted individual and I like that in a person! I thought I was a fishing fanatic but you certainly have me beat! I only have 5 master anglers and am currently working on two more. I haven't kept track of ANYTHING where fishing is concerned. I salute you, Master!

@MyNameIsElias

by any chance were you using the gold food that shows were to fish? I heard rumors that it can actually improve rng, but that could be confirmation bias.

that said I wish the fishing game were more like jack and daxter

Thank you so much! And i agree, i wish there was more use for non purple/gold provisioning mats, you can buy like 5 of any non white provisioning material for 1 gold easily

I wasn't using the gold food, i only tried it out when it came out last december but i honestly had no need for it. I'd already done many master angler runs, so i already knew by heart where i can find specific types of water in each zone

Total number of fish caught by each character


Average number of fish caught per run: 8189,76

Total number of fish caught, ranked by type

Total amount of fish caught: 106354. RIP my E key.

Amount of bait used per water type


Gold spent on each type of bait, calculated with MM prices on PC-EU

Total amount of gold spent on bait: ~1328937 gold


Amount of perfect roe acquired from each run

Average roe: 80,25
Here is a timeline showing time between each run, and the difference in champion points gained between runs





And finally, here is my fish count inside my craft bag


So what do you think, did Zenimax actually buff master angler with homestead adding more to the loot table, or was it just rng being rng? Would love to hear your thoughts

wow...I am in awe.

not the good kind of awe. The "I need to sit down and...I need to sit down" kind of awe. I mean, I was never particularly interested in real world fishing, digital fishing baffles me, and you sir...have...something. I think you broke something in me.

to your credit, I applaud your commitment...in a very general sense...and I would say you certainly deserve some kind of return considering the amount of effort you committed to...a cause...of sorts...

but...wow...I'm sorry, but just...wow

I hope you'll be alright. If it's of any comfort to you, my grandfather used to take me fishing when i was a kid. I always found it really boring, and i felt bad for the fish too. Also funny side note, i hate eating fish

1.3 Million on Bait?........

.......ON BAIT!?!?

Those perfect roe caught would sell for around 11 million at today's prices. At historic prices, 15 million. So somewhere in that range back, plus selling the trophy fish, ingredient fish and now furnishings.

Fishing has a great return, it's just slow and tedious. Whenever I fish, make loads.
