i was trying to investigate the benefits of fishing smock and the puffing/noddy ring's effect when i discovered something weird about ebisu
I was just starting and using moat carps first since it is simple
im using little worms as bait on all characters
no other fishing gear has been used so far than rod and bait (no smock no rings no nothing) <----- emphasized since its confussing.
no fishing across jp midtnight was used.
here is my results
Characters, Fishing skill, rod, bait, target fish
Catches/rod cast's - amount of no catches after cap = Biterate in % (0 no catches indicate i finished before cap hit in)
1st char 110 ebisu - little worm - moat carp
198/223 -25 = 100%
77/77 -0 = 100%
213/238 -25 = 100%
2nd char 110 ebisu - little wom - moat carp
208/233 -25 = 100%
208/233 -25 = 100%
195/220 -25 = 100%
3rd char 110 ebisu - little wom - moat carp
210/235 -25 = 100%
206/235 -25 = 98%
211/236 -25 = 100%
4th char 42 yew - little worm - moat carp
175/228 -25 = 86%
200/305 -25 = 71%
181/256 -0 = 71%
the 3 ebisu characters over 3 days all have a exact 100% bite rate of moatcarps (except for one instants where its only 98%)
where as the yew rod using character only have around 71-86% biterate
and when i say exact 100% i mean it. No items, No crayfish and its verified by checking only the exact numbers of little worms are used
im going to look more into this by getting yew rod on the 3 ebisu using characters to see how it changes stuff
