Hello all. Recently returned old dog here. I added the High Seas content a couple days ago and I'm looking for some opinions.
I've always enjoyed fishing MiBs. The thought of the enhancements and quests might be fun and new ships with cannons and pirates to sink and such sounded cool. Granted the plethora of new heavy fish seems somewhat cumbersome and annoying overall but no biggie.
My question would be are the fish quests really worth devoting that much time to? I can run a box of bottles on foot for 80 grand and an SoT and kill stuff along the way doing trade quests, but spending 15 minutes to sail somewhere for a cup of bait for a fish I haven't figured out if I'd bother with anyway? Are they better as a mission of convenience or something I should focus on?
Is the chance at a power scroll really worth bothering with? All I really care about is fishing up is MiBs which I could do 20 years ago already is all I really care about. Is raising skill above GM going to net me a crapload more serpents or something?
I bought a gargoyle ship, painted her up, and filled her full of cannons. Some day I'll figure out how to use them and sink something. Is there anything from the quests I'd need to do that?
As a younger single guy I had all the time in the world to fart around. I'd spend 2 days in my chair for a sigil defense. Once camped an IDOC for 20 hours to steal the spot even. However, in my 50's with kids and career and such I kinda need to get the most bang for my available game time. If all I'm chasing is a relaxing evening of fishing treasure and water snakes and maybe some eventual pirate treasure, what would your advice be?
Sorry for being long winded, and thanks in advance for your input.
