    I know what your thinking, " Aqua thats crazy, or Aqua thats pointless." Ok, i understand that but hear me out.
    I fish... a lot. You have different loots with percentages of fishing up ranging from Common 7.50% to Legendary 0.01% I don't know what this "legendary" loot entails, but i doubt its The one ring from WoW (for those of you who are gonna correct me and say it was Lord of the Rings, the one ring was a fishing loot in wow, 0.1 drop rate..) Anyway, my suggestion is to maybe make it possible to fish up star tools for the people who are less likely to get the required nstars, or money to get one. I know, i know chances would still be slim to none. However there would still be a possibility of acquiring a melon sword or eff7 pick without years of voting or grinding...well you'd still be grinding but you could break the monotony up of mining cobble after cobble hoping you find a diamond.
    Thanks for you time.

    The drop rate could be lower then legendary, and it would make people wanna fish.

    Instead of making a troll post, let me try to give a good response to this.
    Star tools are a late-game for rich players, a reward for people who pour many, many hours into the game.
    If, as a builder, I can throw in a hook and get a star tool, it COMPLETELY removes the purpose of having star tools, and pretty much the game up to that point, as they can then sell it for Resident, Mayor, President, and Tycoon, completely invalidating the point of those ranks to them.

    Oh, but you remark that the chance will be really low?
    0.01% for a legendary tier item... I'd assume that's your rarity for a star tool.
    That's a 1 in 10,000 chance.
    That might sound like a lot, but let's say 100 players fish 100 times every day once they hear about star tools being granted from fishing.
    That's a new star tool being generated every 1-2 days, which would completely tank their value, and the value of NStars as well, and we're not even mentioning auto-fishers...

    ...In other words, no, -1.

    (also this is wham doing math at 12AM, take me with a grain of salt)

    I would need it to be at least 0.0000001.
