REQUEST: make sharp passive toggleable

athena9205

The passive perk for sharp is basically same as doubling up at a fishing hole making getting rare fish easier. But for those farming the filletable fish this perk actually hinders that farming. Since this is the first perk to directly affect farming methods can we get this as a toggle mechanic somehow?

Hi everyone, we’d like to address the concerns raised in this thread about the Sharp’s Patience Companion Perk and clear up a few things.

For context, here’s the patch note for this perk:

“Sharp provides ‘Sharp’s Patience’ which offers an improved chance at finding trophy fish and slightly reducing reel time."

We hear your concerns about if the increase in trophy fish will result in an overall decrease in value. The short answer is no. Here are the main takeaways:

• The appearance rate of Pyandonean Bottles, Waterlogged Psijic Satchels, and Gunny Sacks are not influenced by Sharps Patience; the overall appearance rate of these items has not changed.
• With this perk, players can catch fish faster overall due to decreased reel time.
• Sharp’s Patience perk does stack with the Champion Passive Reel Technique. They are calculated separately. You can benefit from both simultaneously, as well as with other fishing buffs and food such as Artaeum Pickled Fish Bowl, and fishing with friends.
• Percent chance of catching bait (Chub, Minnow, Shad, and non-perfect fish roe) has been reduced with Sharp's passive. The increase in trophy fish is offset specifically by the reduction of these items.

We hope that helps clear up any concerns about this perk. Please let us know if you have any follow-up questions.

I'm still getting plenty of regular fish with Sharp.
