First of all, i know that milestones are supposed to be grinded between MANY sessions. Second, I love to fish in this game, yeah i grinded for my legendary hunter title for a month solo (mostly) but it was worth it. So i started to grind it little by little. At first, I thought you need lvl 100 in hunter's milestones and Hunter's call commendations to unlock golden trinket. If you want a trinket with gold border you need ONE TOUSAND FISH for each type, come on you need only 210 for LH title. And since you only get this milestones by fishing not finding fish in barrels it becomes more tedious. Only Splashtails, Ancientscales, Wildsplashes, Plentifins can be grinded passively while you swim from island to island. As for devilfish, well my crew and i or only i go to Devil's roar when do some commendations or ashen GH vaults. For other fishes you MUST grind them specifically, Wreckers are from shipwrecks ONLY, Pondies from pond(thanks they are easy to catch, mostly in 1 bite), Islehoppers from big islands. Here comes THE PAIN, Stormfish and Battlegills. This two fishes can only be caught with specific condition: Storm and Skeletons respectfully. As for Stormfish, it's a bit easier, a bit since you only need to be in storm, thanks Merfolk's lullaby for storm map. As for Battlegills, you need active Fort/FoF/FotD/Skeleton Fleet (events can just despawn naturally when you get to them with bait, happened to me many times), and we all know what kind of player base we have, in the next 15 min you probably will be interrupted by others and they won't be friendly to let you fish in piece even you are not interested in loot. Or fish near random skeleton ship (best ones are stuck near arena, since their pathway can't get through one of the docks). So here comes my whining, Can you at least reduce requirements for Stormfish and Battlegills to 5 fish per 1 lvl milestone, not 10. Since you need around ~50 hours of straight fishing just for 8 other fishes. For this 2 you probably need more than 80.
Hunter's milestone for fish.
@sharlajjn6470 While I sympathize with your plight, and even support your suggestion, it's unhealthy to view everything as a grind - just let it happen naturally over time. Most people don't care about others' trophies anyways unless it's something truly impressive or remarkable (looking at you Shrouded Ghost). So don't worry about it so much! And if you do decide to pursue it anyways, at least do it for yourself and not just to show off to others.
What game ever tells you something they recently added is a grind? It's quite obvious some of the milestones are just 100% a grindfest. Some of them, like Island visited are doable by playing the game but some of them are just a pain. Like the Sitting one, being on fire. Play a Shanty, Sleeping and being in a storm. It takes hundreds of hours to finish these ones and that's when you are HARD grinding them, not playing casually.

If you know...why are we here?
If you want a trinket with gold border you need ONE TOUSAND FISH for each type
Pick the fish you want a Trinket for, and Focus. Nobody said you needed to do all the fish.
And since you only get this milestones by fishing not finding fish in barrels it becomes more tedious.
So let me get this, Your more upset that you actually have to "FISH" to earn this achievement rather than the hundreds of random barrels to find the cooked, half cooked fish... -_-
As for devilfish, well my crew and i or only i go to Devil's roar when do some commendations or ashen GH vaults.
Well. Don't hunt for those fish then.
i know that milestones are supposed to be grinded between MANY sessions
You already know the answer here :P
Wreckers are from shipwrecks ONLY
Too easy, I found a spot that had like 6 shipwrecks within 5 squares of each other (give or take)
So here comes my whining
What was all that above then? :o
Can you at least reduce requirements for Stormfish and Battlegills to 5 fish per 1 lvl milestone, not 10.
You want to buy that motor bike? You better earn the cash for it like a good little kid. Get to mowing grass for your neighbors. :p OR...just dont go for those if they are too difficult for you. Nobody is saying you need them for anything else.
@sharlajjn6470 people only talking about u using the word "grind" because they have nothing else to say on this topic.
As far as i am concerned, u are absolutly right, Hunters milestones are a big joke right now.@ninja-naranja Either the Crew’s catches should count for the milestone, or selling them should count as well. I think having to catch 10k fish alone is not fair to ask of a single player to do, even if that was the ONLY thing they wanted to do ingame. 10,000 is a LOT for a solo player.
The 2,100 for the Hunter Commendations was a lot too, and that was able to be done with four players. Definitely needs some changes if you ask me.
@klutchxking518 technically the fish ur crew catches DO count - but not for ur own progress, only for the progress of the ship. So, like this ur ship can reach the best trophy much faster then the playert, if u have like a ship and a crew dedicated to fishing.
I can see the idea behind that, and i do kinda like it - its still tedious af

It is a lot, it's also working on 10 milestones with a total of 200 ( 10 * 5 * 4 ) trinkets.
The Biggest issue is that Legendary Hunter requires 2,310 Fish to be sold and Full Trinkets require 11,00 Fish to be caught.
The Key difference here is that I can run Fishing on a Galleon and we can all fish collectively towards Legendary Hunter, It cuts the amount each individual needs down to 577 fish caught each. However for Milestones you specifically need to be the one catching them, all 11,000 fish need to be caught by your hand.This means that a Singular Max Trinket literally 2x flexier than LHotSoT which was there as THE fishing accomplishment, now It is almost nothing.
Even just looking at the Level 1 trinkets on the Wooden Planks, that's 1,100 Fish for all of them. Even just the Level 1 Trinkets are 2x Flexier than LHotSoT, its Pathetic.
just let it happen naturally over time.
cmon man you know that 11,000 fish doesn't just happen over time lol. The Average Crew wouldn't fish more than 10x a day. Even at 10 a day that's 3 years, playing SoT every single day, catching at least 10 fish a Day. It just doesn't happen.

Just yesterday, I boarded a sloop that had golden plaques of all of the nighttime fish onboard. It was pretty.
@parrotlord6426 The trinket is unlocked with the Pirate Milestone. So yes, the crew can progress the ship's milestone, but no trinket is unlocked unless a single player does them, then that player gets them.
@parrotlord6426 No. Ship milestones only unlock Crests, Banners, Logbooks, Flags, and Ship Titles. Everything else is a pirate milestone unlock.
You need an active FOTD to fish battlegills correct? Then activate the fort yourself and focus on nothing but fishing. Most PvP players wait until the fort goes down. They may wait it out or you just fish on a rowboat on the back of the fort. Yes, it takes time to set up but it won’t despawn
@galactic-geek oh neat im also going for all the Nighttime fish. But not catching 1k for the Golden ones lol.
People who keep insisting that milestone for fishing should be a passive grind have absolutely no idea how much is needed to complete these. I genuinely feel that unless you have Legendary Hunter of the Sea of Thieves you should not even be allowed an opinion on this topic. To complete these milestones require you to fish legendary hunter of the sea of thieves 10 times solo...
For people who are still lost on what this means Legendary Hunter in a group takes like 100 hours of committed fishing so lets say solo takes about 250. That means you need to spend 2500 hours doing nothing but fishing... Most people who are defending these numbers don't even have that many hours in the game.
@galactic-geek I pulled you up on Xbox and you have 4200 hours that means you would to have spent half of your total play time fishing, and @burnbacon pulling you on Xbox with 1600 hours that means that if you did nothing but fish since you launched this game you would not have finished these milestones... How do these milestones in anyway represent players who enjoy fishing then!?!?!
I enjoy reapers and maxed out the gold sold to reapers and halfway to treasures cashed to reapers in a couple hundred hours... Why is it significantly easier to get any other milestone over these? These are clearly disproportionately harder than any other trophy in the game.
@nitroxien
Perhaps they did as I did ... I fished for the figurehead, the fishing voyages and for the Fish bones &c. Most of the fish I turned in for Legendary Hunter though, I got from shipwrecks, barrels'o'plenty and some even from other pirates' food barrels.I would have preferred just one milestone for fishing instead for every fish, now non-fishermen have 200 trinkets they'll never unlock in the shipwright shop inventory.
@lem0n-curry That would seem like a good idea, but at the current state it is frankly ridiculous. The event ones could also be done in a group, and the figurehead one needed just splashtails making it far simpler.
In the current state it is just way to hard compared to any of the other milestones and unless you are a hardcore fisherman who does literally nothing but fish in this game you will never complete. I have yet to meet someone on the forums or discord to even claim to fish that much with any of the stats to back it up. A few people post on the forums that they enjoy fishing and these milestones are meant for them but have yet to complete Legendary Hunter of the Sea of Thieves and have less than 1k hours in the game, so don't realize what these milestones actually entail.
@coffeelight5545 you dont need an active FotD, any active fort will do, even the most regular one. The new spanish castle forts will not do though. It needs to have a skull shown over it. Oh and also any skelly ship will do, if they are fairly close. I had one circle me recently in a good lengh away for like 10 mins (i never triggered the fight, it wasnt close enough, it was just in a fairly close range) and i still managed to fish some battle grills there.

It averages out to only 50 fish per trinket though (*) (10,000 fish, 200 trinkets), compare that to trinkets for voyages (10 per class per trading company) that's 250 average per trinket (1,000 voyages, 4 trinkets). It's a lot of fishing, not disagreeing there, but you also get a lot in return.
Also, in these posts the argument is always for the completion of all fish milestones, wouldn't fishermen better be served fishing for their favourite fish(es) ? You can't hang all of the trinkets on your ship anyway.
Just like people who like to do voyages might not be interested in doing 1,000 Merchant Alliance ones.
BTW, I pity those that want their cherished Lament for Wild Rose ... 100 completed Tall Tales.
(*) if you have the appropriate commendations

Key word “active fort”
Normal forts despawn after a certain amount of time
