Has anyone tested the Hissmir Fish-Eye drink against a large sample? I wonder if it does anything beyond the visual effects.

As far as I understand, Hissmir was rendered pretty useless once they added actual text to the ui indicating the type of fishing spot. Otherwise, it just makes the spots a little more visible.

How did you collect the data? I use my ESO Grinder addon to save looted items off to a database but there are some things that I'm not saving yet.

Sorry if this thread is to old to revive...

Did they remove Perfect ROe from the game? I have been fishing for the past 4 days and it has been about 3 days since I was able to get any. I still have sealed writs that call for it. I have fillets a couple of hundred fish without a single perfect roe. I know I cant be that unlucky...not even me...LOL

The fishing isn't so bad if you want to do something different. But, I really can't find anyone that wants to fish with me. Has anyone had any luck in getting Master Angler by fishing by yourself? Or, is that a waste of time?

I did it completely solo, or at least 99% of time, couple of times it was others around and in Cyrodil I fished with one from another alliance

You could try to start an fishing event in an social guild where you use voice, you can not really chat while fishing.

Was part of a fishing guild for 2 years and nobody wanted to fish in that either

Guess they was all master anglers already or the guild had changed.

But it was no problem doing it solo, it was an time I played a lot at weird times like very early in the morning so few others around. I started doing it for the dye colors in the start and just kept going.

I finished the angler achievement for most zones, just need to complete Hew's Bane and The Deadlands. Did it solo most of the time, with some random people fishing at the same spot. I had once even in Imperial City someone from another alliance who didn't attack. We emptied the fishing hole together and went different directions after that.

With all buffs up, ie Fish Bowl food and the two relevant stars in the green CP tree slotted, I finished a whole zone in 30 to 90 minutes.

Till now I fillet roughly 6k fish and the drop rate for Perfect Roe was slightly above 0.7%.

Apologies for the late responses to the comments on this thread, i don't check forum as much as i used to, but with the news of account wide achievements coming i've been pinged a fair bit lately.

The drop rate is somewhere around 1% each time you file a fish. I know it can be painful, but they do exist.

I believe that over-all the best method is to fish with 1 other person, using the artaeum pickled fish bowl food, and the 2 champion point slottables.

Downside to having more people fish is the hole drains faster, making you have to move more often and spend less time fishing. But fishing with 1 other person for the increased rare fish chance is worth it.

With the food +cp i fished 30 rare fish in 3h , this having in mind i was looking for places to fish.

After opening all the fish i got 4 perfect roe.

I tried fishing with a friend and tbh i think it just makes everything harder.

The spot lasts half the time.

Yup! My preferance is to fish solo too, but duo fishing can be benefitial too

So glad you found friendly enemies to fish with in IC! I've been ganked twice attempting to fish there. And the drop rate for roe seems about the same as what i've been experiencing.

Finally got the Fish Bowl recipe, then noticed I used up all the Clam Gall in other stuff. Thought Craglorn was a grind for the Nirncrox; looks Summerset will be worse. Don't really want to pay the high prices at the Guild Traders.

The upcoming anniversary event is a great time to stock up on rare alchemy ingredients by doing simple dailies like crafting writs!

This is great. Thank You for all the work You put into it. Very helpful data.

Good luck on Master Angler WR attempts

Is it confirmed that AWA affects Master Angler? I remember asking in the PTS feedback that this be removed from AWA so that people who enjoyed 'earning' this on multiple toons could still 'earn' it and wear the title proudly on each toon.

I still have not logged onto my alt toons, so I do not know how great the AWA impact is.

Fishing is awesome in eso

Just wanted to thank you! I'm slowly coming back into the game and decided to take things easy - so working on fishing! Your images for where holes are, are super helpful! Already got a few zones done with just the CP passive and will add food when needed for my sanity haha.

I do think Craglorn may be missing from your images though? I didn't see it

I remembered this excellent old thread when I was gearing up to do the master angler achievement during the during the Pan-Tamriel celebration event this year. I thought it would make an interesting contrast to compare the amount of fish initially required to earn master angler with the amount it currently takes. Props to the OP for the excellent data he provided here.

Of course, during the Pan-Tamriel event, rare fish drops have been curated for the first time allowing you to avoid any of the duplicate rare fish that are one of the most difficult parts of the achievement especially in the coldharbor zone, where all 12 fish come from the same fishing hole type. There have been a lot of other changes over the years that have also increased the speed at which master angler can be achieved. I used all of these as well. They are: 1) Arteum pickled fish bowl food, 2x fishing related slottable champion point boons, and Sharp-as-Night companion. Probably half the time or so I was also fishing with another person as doing this achievement during the event was very popular. I used all "caught" as opposed to "harvested" bait as I had thousands of all bait types from getting them in anniversary boxes for the last 10 years though I have not found any clear data on bait type making any difference. Prior to the event I had somewhere around 5 total rare fish caught across all the zones, so I had done little to no fishing and this is pretty close to what one could expect for doing the whole achievement.

Anyhow, here is the breakdown of what it took to get master angler:

717 total basic fish caught + the 207 rare fish that the achievement requires
9 perfect roe were refined from those 717 fish

furnishings:
2 fish, large
1 fish, medium
1 fish, salmon
3 fish, trout
3 sea sponge

I did not keep track of how many bait fish or wet gunny sacks I got. Anyhow, how many of the rest of you hit up the master angler achievement this event? Of course, I also bought the boat and put it in my house when I finished.

I'm on a boat y'all.
