So I’ve been doing a lot of fishing with my buddy lately to finish up my Legendary Hunter of the Sea of Thieves title and that got me thinking. Why not have the Milestones count Caught and Sold? It feels really bad to be fishing with friends and not have their fish count.
Also 1000 is less than 2500 but come on, that was a ridiculous number to begin with. At least if you could sell them after catching them you would technically only have to fish 500 by yourself. Which is still a lot but it’s less of a pain. And that means finding fish randomly wouldn’t be useless too!
Let’s put this in perspective. To achieve Legendary Hunter of the Sea of Thieves you need to sell 2100 fish. And that can be done with friends and by finding fish randomly. To get all fishing milestones to “max” level you need to personally catch 10000 fish. And for that you can’t have anyone help you AND the fish you find randomly don’t count towards it.
I don’t foresee anyone realistically catching 10000 fish by themselves over any length of time. Most players don’t even get all the Hunter’s Call commendations done because it’s very grindy. And this proposal would still keep the grind but make it more bearable.
