The way that reputation for this trading company works does not match with the other ones in terms of time spent and difficulty. Is fishing any less risky than finding a captain chest at the first island you visit and turning that in? I don't really think so, but the chest will give you a level by itself while fish will take much longer.

To be clear I'm not trying to say their is zero risk, but its quite minimum. Unlike a chest, I can't store it on my person. While limited in how much I can hold, a minor safety net can be applied to the more valuable pieces I have. I also don't need a boat to do fishing, and the boat can be a dead giveaway on your location. I could essentially fish anywhere and players will have no clue I'm there. Only by accident could they come up on me. I could even stash the fish in a barrel for later pick up. Difficulty is non-existent, its a little minigame with no variance on the level of fish. At most it cost time, however people complain already that their is too much free time on the seas.

At most a minor buff wouldn't mean the end of the world, I will survive had they did it. However, only a very little minor buff, nowhere near 2nd tier loot.

I love the hunters call faction and I hope it never ends :)

@fuzzyh1ghland3r absolutely you can. I'm close to 11 at the end of last night's session. We sold several mermaid gems. Also travelled all over the map completing the commendations. The commendations you complete will give you a decent little bump as well. Try for different varieties, travel to different areas of the map to catch the different types, kill every shark/meg/Karen/chicken/pig/snake you see and cook it up.

Although I'm with you on this in the sense of not going this route to Pirate Legend, had I not been a Pirate Legend. However, I think the risk should relate to the reward, and what risk is their fishing? You don't risk transportation on the seas like cargo or Gold Hoarders. You don't kill skeletons like Order of Souls. You don't compete against other players like the Arena or Skull Forts. Little risk gets you little reward.

There is always risk in Sea of Thieves. You can get waylaid by skeleton ships or other players. Some fish require you to fish in an active fort area. Some fish require bait to catch, and there is a risk that you'll lose it.

@they-sank never thought to sell mermaid jems to them can u if so that’s pretty brilliant good idea man

It's gonna take ages to get to 50? As in it's not quite easy and takes a grind?

Good. It's fine the way it is.

@janikspielt The higher the level/promotion, the better fish you will catch. @Hynieth recommended selling mermaid gems to the hunters call reps, which will help you level up past those initial low levels much quicker, so no need to spend time obtaining and cooking meat to sell or catching low-level fish.

Obviously, a 4-man galleon dedicated solely to fishing is going to rank up much faster, but I’m personally quite alright doing it all on a sloop. I did everything else on a sloop, I’ll do this on a sloop!

@d3adst1ck

I don't think anyone is going to use this as an alternative to get to Pirate Legend with the low rep you get for the time spent fishing. At the very least, this needs to be adjusted.

Pirate Legend requires max rep in three of five factions. This is an alternative to Pirate Legend, some may go this route others won't. It still remains a valid route however. I think you underestimate how much people despise player interaction, for some reason some of the PvE crowd like ultra casual relaxation. This seems to fit right up their ally. Easy to keep hidden, doesn't require a boat, and can ultimately avoid interacting with people.

@fuzzyh1ghland3r YES!

@fuzzyh1ghland3r This may be true and Rare needs to tread carefully so we don't have players burning through it all again in a week.

@inboundbomb I agree with you more is better. Granted level 10 is easy to get in any faction once ya start hitting in the 30s I feel it will be a grind

@d3adst1ck it really depends on how it will be adjusted. I made lvl 10 in less than 3 hrs last night. Now given the entire crew was fishing cooking and turning in helps...... also we fished for different kinds of fish as well with the correct bait used and so forth. Heck, we done a fort with one person solely fishing for battle hills the entire time to get all the different types.

Shoot I’d be happy if the lowest fish was at least 100 trophy fish should be 500 and really rare 1000. But agreed it is a low risk faction and rep is pretty balanced. More rep with more risk and vice versa

@d3adst1ck Agreed. They said they want to make another way and get variaty to achieve Pirate Legend. Right now its nearly impossible.

I mean we can agree and disagree, but this faction in my eyes isn't meant to be a gold farming faction, but a low risk faction to be an alternative to Pirate Legend. The risk should match the rewards, and fishing has very little risk to deserve more of a reward.

@inboundbomb I figure fish is moot whether it’s raw or cooked but the general snake , pigs, chicken , kraken , meg and shark cooked for sure

@fuzzyh1ghland3r it depends on what you turn in.

@inboundbomb ehh I just didn’t see much an increase

@fuzzyh1ghland3r there is an increase in value in cooked food and even undercooked is worth more than raw.

I really don't agree, because these serve more of a purpose then just selling for cash and rep. These serve as consumables as well, put too much value on them, and no one will want to use them. Look at the Mega-Keg as an example it is worth more sold then it is to be used against another ship.

@janikspielt 25 gold for the lowest of the low fish. Like turning in a white chicken. Cook it and it is 35 gold. We turned in trophy fish for almost 500 gold. Storm ones I believe or maybe it was a wrecker trophy. Cook everything unless you don't care for the full reward.

I got 450 or so for Dory.

@geoffman72 I find no increase in value compared to raw or cooked

@inboundbomb It is still way to cheap. Like, 25 gold for a fish?
