Maybe RNG affects much in how painful it will be.
Like some fishes are quite common but others not.
I spent 30+ minutes kicksledding, trying different lures and fish spots all around and drilling holes in ice etc. and ended up abandoning the quest because I just couldn't find the fish.
Just because you had luck and it asked only for common fishes doesn't mean that others had such luck.
RNG in things like this sucks, solution proposed in OP would be a good solution to greatly reduce the likelihood of getting some fish that is impossible to find.

of all the times I have done fishing credo, which is quite a few over various characters and worlds, I have managed it without any big problems

all fish are available, if you have a big problem finding 1 type of fish you probably just didn't look hard enough

Given moving 3 spaces can dramatically affect what types of fish you catch, I'd say the bigger issue you are having, shubla, is that you're trying to do it in winter.

Fishing in winter is the only option, because otherwise you would get ganked by knarr-sailing bandits.

But now they are on sleds that go speed 6 on ice, and knarrs if in the open ocean still.

Yes, but you too are on sled that goes the same speed, so you actually have some chances for escape, especially if you are experienced veteran player like me who knows how to click.

Fisherman is easy when you do it first.

If you held off on doing it until winter then you can only blame yourself.

Fisherman is fine. Mystic though...

SnuggleSnail wrote:Just putting it out there for the sake of posterity: when people ask for credos to be made easier, they actually want them to be either reworked, or entirely removed. The only reason they don't ask for this specifically is because they know Jorb won't do either in a timely manner, and they're in the bargaining stage of grief.

Credos bad.


Daily reminder that when Snail says these things, he's actually merely parading his inability to write a bot that does credo quests for him.
