Next event there should be double fish like we have double resources.

RedRoomGaming

I love fishing, I can run around looking for holes to fling my rod into (pause), while watching a streamer or a series or anything. You can kill stuff in between or farm the mats around the area while fishing. I’ve even found a few quests I’ve forgotten about while running to a different part of water.

Fish are a resource just like the other mats. You can use the fish after skinning or if you get a roe (after skinning 300 fish /s) you can use that for special meals or xp pots. So when there are “double mats” and everyone becomes a farmer the fish are always left out. So maybe instead of the one area like the dragon even the fish where world wide so every hole wouldn’t be jammed up with rods constantly.

You get 13-15 items from one spot. 7-8 being fish on a good time the rest being furniture or junk. So double fish on events where they have the mats boosts would be brilliant for us fisher people

There are other resources that are ignored for double drops like mother of pearl, torchbug etc (just so your fish don't feel lonely )

I'm not crazy about the idea for double fish. However, I think it would be nice if the chance to catch a rare fish or one of those non-fish items-- waterlogged bags or whatever-- were to be increased for zones involved in an event. An increased chance for finding Perfect Roe would also be nice, except I can't imagine how that could be made to work.

Please stop reminding me that I have about 1400 fish waiting to be filleted.

Increased Perfect Roe would be a direct consequence of having more fish to fillet.

Fishing rates and size from the fishing holes should absolutely be increased for gather events.

I don't fish, so I don't need that. I could have said that I don't bother, but it's not exactly true. Egoistically, if fish gets double then I want other things - like insects for example - to be doubled too. Not fish only.

As is now, the concept is that only resources we're harvesting (tools cutting/mining/collecting) get doubled. It would be nice if the rest gets doubled, but I believe it will be difficult to draw the line what to include or not.

the fishing pole is a tool.

It's not the same: you catch something alive, like if you would shoot a rabbit. You don't cut a resource.

Maybe so, but filling up your inventory slots twice as fast would be another direct consequence. That might not be too hard on me, since I usually fillet my fish as soon as the fishing hole dries up; but I see players talking about having thousands of fish to fillet, so they're obviously not filleting as they go.

probably because the food that buffs fishing ticks down while you filet

I use Votan's Fish Fillet add-on, let the fish build up into decent stacks and then let it auto fillet for 10 minutes while I go away and do something else lol
