Fish voyages

@hitmanpogger ahoy!

We did indeed have such a thing exactly this time last year, the Festival of Fishing ran 25th February to 18th March 2021.

Voyages from Larinna would task you with catching a certain number of specific fish. You got a selection of maps with the best islands to fish from which even circled the area of water to cast your line for your best chance at a catch - think X marks the spot but with a circle over the water on the map. I think it may have been not long after that when bait started appearing in barrels instead of only being dug up. There were four fishing rod cosmetics and two titles up for grabs.

Festival of Fishing is a three week long event themed around The Hunter's Call, focusing on fishing. Every week will add 7 new challenges focused around catching specific fish with a new related...

I don't think it was for everyone but I loved it, I fished my way to PL so it was a great way to get my numbers and rep up.

I'd love Hunters Call to get a bit more love, so that's an upvote from me.

Yes! This is the quote. Hunters Call should get more love.
I really want something new added to HC a new fish typ or anything. I wish they made a new event envolved fishing or anything. I just want something new added to HC. You never hear "shall we do voyages, world events or fishing"
Fishing is never an option.

I think Rare could make HC voyages that are identical to MA animal run voyages. You take a voyage, get a list of fish or animal meat that needs to be delivered to a specific sea post and then you're free to sail around and catch those fish, and then hand them in for a much greater reward. I also think pearl diving would be a nice addition to the world, and could be tied into the HC quite well.

The Hunter's Call definitely needs some expansion. Though I'd prefer Hunter's Call voyages to be more akin to "tips" on where players can catch lots of a specific fish type.

I would also like to see bait and the fishing mechanics themselves fleshed out; I'm trying to grind getting some of the rarer fish in order to unlock the fishing rod cosmetics and having no way other than pure chance to get them is a little disheartening. I would love if we could somehow acquire a bait which increases the chances of a rare fish biting.

I like the idea of pearl diving the only problem I see with that, it’s going to be similar to the shrines or at least the gameplay will be just like doing a shrine but you collect other stuff.

I’d take it though.

Pearl diving’s a cool idea. Maybe they could add more coral reef like areas. I.e: like the Great Barrier Reef… where it’s safer to swim through because your ship gets completely stuck. And all sorts of creatures inhabit these masks like, shallow reefs, like eels and giant (still smaller than a shark) scary wrecker fish.

@mostexpendable
I’d take it as well. It’s content I guess but it won’t feel as much sea of thieves. Or I at least don’t get much sea of thieves energy from it. It feel more like subnautica. But I guess some changes need to be made. And I can’t judge before I try it out

"Festival of Fishing"
That event had fishing voyages, why they havn't added those into the game is beyond me.

They were even different compare to the other voyages.
"voyage that will send players into a specific region to catch fish."
Could even add Meg voyages, "Kill a meg in a certain region"
Or better yet, similar to how the Merchant lost shipment works. Follow a path of fish, collect certain items/clues along the way and fish at the "mystery hole" for a rare new fish. Bring it back for reward.

I've always thought that a neat HC voyage would be something Meg related. Like you go to the seapost rep and they give you a note that hints at where you can find a Meg. It would say something like "A megalodon has been gobbling up fishing ships south of Devil's Ridge. Go see if you can track the beast down and bring back her spoils."

Then, you'd go battle the Meg and it would be some gems and some supply barrels that have some fish in them with some tiny chances for rare fish.

Then maybe do something similar with the Kraken.

Could even make some special summoning tasks like the old hungering deep voyage.

@hitmanpogger on top of that I think they should add special items like the Disney stick, such as chum buckets, fishing nets extra, witch you could sell or use to catch more fish, these items would have a use limit like the Disney stick/aka the trident if you dont know.

@schwammlgott

No, emissary wouldn’t work. Especially when a reaper can pull up to you, disturb you and then start running. However I mean you won’t have to do the voyages, the voyages would be easier to do for the people who don’t like fishing. And as a reward they get a “higher” chance to catch a rare fish in a certain spot however I can’t expect that everyone likes this idea and I’ll check out your post sir.
