Does anyone know if there are any scheduled changes to occur in terms of:

- Making more than just grade 5 nodes

- Any new/legendary fish scheduled to be released

- Any new fishing specific gear?

I got to level 50, and now there doesn't seem to be much reason for having done so!!! They made it way harder to get to 50 by taking away grade 10 nodes, and on top of it.... there's no point in being R50.

Hope they find a way to make fishing more valuable... I know they're supposed to be adding recipes in 1.20, but I hope all those hours get some sort of pay off!

Yes they have mentioned there will be job specific gear even for DoL jobs that will be quested.

I haven't seen anything about rods like the lushang quest or ebisu in ffxi.

More endgame type stuff will be released once the level cap is increased. Think of lvl 50 as a mid stopping point for now for better things to come. Raise lvl cap, higher grade nodes, tougher/legendary fish, etc. With all the major changes they are making and going to make still you should see all DoL jobs have minor and major tweaks in the months and years to come up to 2.0.

I'm just gonna get my jobs to 50 and wait for now. The raising of the lvl cap is the key for more endgame type stuff. Like lvl75 was considered endgame for many years in ffxi. Expect 14 to be the same. I just don't know where the cap will stop but it's not 50.

Legendary/much tougher fish being released is essential for getting ebisu type fishing rods. No point in having those types of rods if you don't have tougher fish to catch.

I agree with pretty much everything Vicious said. Next patch, cooking is going to get a major overhaul and foods will mean a lot more, so that should stimulate the need for fish. Alchemy is also undergoing changes so fish may be needed for that as well.

They've mentioned that Jobs will be having quests attached to them to get "artifact" gear in the 1.21 patch when jobs are released, but I wonder if they're going to show the same attention to the classes? I would really like to have some fishing specific gear rather than the generic raptorskin stuff everyone else can use. But this may not make it in the job patch or until 2.0 even. We'll just have to wait and see.

The thing that is kind of frustrating me about FFXIV is that getting to level 50 isn't that big of an accomplishment.

In XI when you got to 75.... that means you went through some serious blood/sweat/tears (the tears aren't even necessarily figurative lol.) It's just like... alright I'm at 50 fishing, I have 8 million fish.... and pretty much nothing to do with them (because they don't really sell for crap on the AH.)

I suppose I'll just keep on hoarding them and hope for the best with the upcoming patches.

P.S. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE give us some special rods to go after etc... I'm so bored with my fisherman now.

Je ~ I completely agree. I just made a comment in the thread about what fish to sell for gil concerning this somewhat.

It's just way to easy to lvl up any job, catch any fish, make gil, etc.

Nothing is really a challenge except some of the NM/boss fights. I don't like being able to catch any fish so easily.

While I don't want to be negative and I know Kida hates that on here lol.. something has to get tougher, be more of a challenge or give me some real satisfaction for accomplishing a goal or the drive to do something.

I wonder if this and I assume it has.. been addressed on the lodestone to the developers. I can't imagine what the lvl cap will be cause even as the xp to lvl up gets higher once they raise the grades, add leves for those grades I don't see it being any different than now.

Took me years and years to do certain things in ffxi. I'll have most knocked out before the 2 year mark lol. But we'll see what they do.

I suggest anyone who wishes to post suggestions to SE or search for a topic that may already be posted to go here and make sure if you find a topic/suggestion you like to "Like" that post. More likes..more attention it gets.

But don't get me wrong even with some changes that need to be made and should be on the way the game is still a lot of fun to me and I expect stuff like this to be hammered out but I may be capped out before they do.. whatever the cap is lol.

It may be some time before the cap lvl is raised and probably a good idea.

Vic, you've basically just written a post that I myself would have thought I wrote if I didn't know any better.

I hate the fact they've made everything in this game so EASY! It kills all satisfaction. I dinged 50 fisherman today, and didn't really feel like I accomplished anything special sad to say.

well grats on 50 either way. Game is a lot better and will get even better from here on out so I'd expect some very positive things to happen to offset what we've dealt with in the last year on top of what they have already done and planned. I would expect 51 to whatever the cap will end up being.. to be much tougher. I hope. Surely it will.

Yeah I'd definitely have to agree with you there!!! I am flying the the culinary levels with all the millions of fish I caught haha! I want to capitalize on the new cooking recipes when they hit!
