Act 10 Prerequisite to Start Fishing? Can we do fishing without Act 10?

[prietess]

Hi @Cyan

 

hope you can clarify this.

in the stream you guys said like while doing Act 10 there is a quest from which you could start fishing.

Does that mean to start fishing (at all) you need to do Act 10?

or we can just buy the bait from NPC and go to that Dock and double-click the bait?

 

Because doesn't that mean we need to do Act 10 on the first day of event (June 19th) because fishing is part of event?

Whilst Wednesday is such a damn busy day with Weeklies and playing time is cut significantly by the usual LONG maintenance (Yes, I am not living in NA like 95% of you who are not affected much by short/long maintenance).

 

Some people do say that it is easy to get the Angler's Pearl and we don't need to do fishing on the first day, but I don't know?

 

Please clarify the above (whether one can do fishing without Act 10)

Your help is very much appreciated.

Fishing is part of event, yup, but you don't need to do it immediately. What you want from fishing is the pearl, which is a year-round currency that happens to be part of the event. Someone calculated that you can earn up to 1,300 pearl/day (15+ pearl/fish/30 second), so you don't need to worry about lacking of the pearl for the event The bait from the event just helps you to catch rarer fish, thus more pearls,

 

So yeah, while I don't know if it is completed Act 10 or during Act 10 to be able to do fishing, you don't have to worry about fishing on the very first day. You don't have to fish daily either,as you can fish everything pearl in one go if you want.

Noted Kozuki thanks for the answer.

Catching rarer fish will not affect this event reward outcome right? except that you get more pearls, which can be obtained by fishing more.

 

Btw, one time fishing is always fixed at 30 second? not RNG?

No, you don't its 255 daily limit, from 1 char.

You need to remember the rarer the fish the more pearls you get, and to catch the rarer fish you need the better baits which costs pearls to buy so...you get say 12-15 pearls per fish, but the rarer bait costs 12 pearls
