Master Fishing Guide | The Elder Scrolls Online

[@Endominius]

Excellent guide. If you're going for perfect roe I'd recommend fishing rivers. The bait, flies, is cheaper and easier to harvest. Save your worms for achievements. The river from Balmora down to the coast is a favourite spot for me.

[@Nessaeria]

Oooo great tip!! Thanks for sharing ❤️

[@FernandoPerez-zx2vz]

You can also use simple bait instead

[@Nessaeria]

@@FernandoPerez-zx2vz that’s true! I imagine this is one way simple bait is useful!

"You're in the right place" I hope so, that's why I'm watching the video.

[@Nessaeria]

@@Morgenlar lol I hope the video helped! 😂

Thanks for the fishing tips! Just don't bring Ember for fishing. She's a party pooper.

[@Nessaeria]

She is such a party pooper!! 😂

I'm trying to complete all fishing achievements at the moment, and the Alik'r foul water fishes are driving me crazy... Wish me luck!

[@Nessaeria]

@@isidroramos1073 ah man I know the rng on these fish can be crazy sometimes!! I hope you get them all 🙌🏻

[@isidroramos1073]

@@Nessaeria I had forgotten the comment of mine. I'm finally a Master Angler! It took so long to catch a midget salmon I was starting to think they were a myth!

[@Nessaeria]

@@isidroramos1073 congratulations!! That’s awesome, way to stick with it 👏🏻

How do you have all four blue fish in Coldharbour, but you are still missing two green fish? Either you got some great rng, or some really, really bad rng.

[@Nessaeria]

@@jeremiahthomas8140 loll probably really bad rng based on other experiences 🤣

[@FernandoPerez-zx2vz]

But satchels, recipes and other items are supposed to be considered also as"Trophy fish" so using the bonuses does the opposite and actually helps to get them even if the usual trophy fish drops more often anyway.

[@Nessaeria]

@@FernandoPerez-zx2vz I can’t find anything that confirms or denies this definitively, but from other videos I’ve seen it seems like it just boosts trophy fish and does not explicitly say it boosts the other bonus items. I’ve also noticed that when I took these off, I got more abyssal folios when I tested in apocrypha. This could have just been rng of course though 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@FernandoPerez-zx2vz]

@@Nessaeria I did try it too both ways for two hours each to gather some data about the drop rate but still difficult to know because sometimes it's higher and sometimes it's lower. Exactly as you mentioned a lot of rng going on so i was looking for any evidence about it but all i could find is other youtubers and people fishing for hours who said that extra bonuses boosted their probabilities to get other items more frequently than fish or trophy ones. So that's why i said it hoping i could find more clarity and solve this doubt but it seems only the devs could answer this question for 💯% certainty 🤔 I think they should give fishing a rework and state what each bonus do precisely including some numbers to make it less of a taboo and more like a "luck" system. Something like adding actions other than eating food to gain different bonuses, for example: wearing a specific tool to have more chances to catch fish only or killing a specific boss to get a 2 hours buff to get more satchels/folios or completing a daily quest to get another benefit like making each fishing pool last longer than 15 🐠 and adding a new animation to replace the outdated one or at least put it in the crown store/event just like they did with harvesting and other things. Fishing is a great feature in ESO and i appreciate it a lot but it's not being well taked care of as other aspects of the game.

[@Nessaeria]

@@FernandoPerez-zx2vz hmm yeah maybe I can do a deeper dive and see if we can get some more data on this. Ah yes, I would agree with that! It would be super cool to have a new animation for fishing or the bonuses you mentioned! Maybe the ZOS gods will see this 🙏🏻

[@Caelc15]

they need to add a purpose to fishing. Other than leads, theres no point.

[@Nessaeria]

I have to disagree! I kind of like that there’s something you can do that doesn’t have to be a grind. Plus in the newer DLCs they have added outfit styles for completing certain zone achievements, and in the latest ones you can get a mount. So I like that they have added fun bonuses to it as well. Thanks for sharing though!

[@grod4L]

There's motifs, recipes and furnishing plans in certain zones, there's achievements and dyes, and of course there's the extremely useful and profitable perfect roe you get from filleting. But I do think ZOS could do something cool with fishing that we haven't seen yet!
