    Brief Description:
    By fishing

    Open Discussion:
    Today I decided to fish for one hour with my star rod and track my earnings the results were shocking to me and probably many of you.
    First of all I would like to state the amount of effort needed for fishing. So first of all eff 7s deserve the amount of money they make due to them requiring the most amount of attention compared to other tools. Also despite melons making some less then a eff 7 it is still fair due to the fact all a player has to do is turn their character around every couple mins. Well fishing stands in the middle of these 2 as fishing requires you to watch when you actually catch a fish and right click every 10 or less seconds where in melon farming no attention at all is required for more then a minute. Yet despite it taking some more effort then melon farming yet less then a eff 7 it still stands at the bottom off all star tool profits. In fact its sad to say pumpkin farming makes 3k more then fishing with a star rod and this is a tool that is basically accessible to any user on the server for cheap. Honestly for a tool that cost more then 700k this is sad not only is it sad its a SCAM to all users who own and use this tool. How anyone could stand for making 9k an hour with a tool that is worth 700k boggles my mind and the fact that there is a tool that requires less effort then fishing and makes 5k more per hour or even a took that reaches up to 11k more then the star rod that is the same price. This is insane to hear this news and i think that this tool should be making about 15.5k or 15k per hour as it requires more effort then a melon sword but less then a eff 7 so it should be placed in the middle of the two. In this video you can see that I make 9k and hour and $2610 from the normal fish by making the normal fish $30 This would boost my income to 14k an hour the same as a melon sword. I still think that it should be making more then a melon sword but 14k an hour is good for starters. Anyone who thinks that fishing with a star rod should make 9k per hour really needs to reconsider their thought process. The footage I recorded of me fishing was sped up 64x and at the end of the video you clearly see that I have made 9k which is extremely low in terms of a star tool.

    i made a suggestion about 3 weeks ago about turning treasure back on for fishing for the same reason fishing made jack squat, cause then you could flip the treasure (assuming u have a good treasure hunter) i feel 20$+ would a little much for the normal fish. if you got even 20$ you would make doubl ethat 2610 taking your total that much higher which would be fine. but if you did that you would have to raise every other fish based on their rarity to keep them in scale and that would be too large a shift i believe

    Of course raising all fish evenly for fishing to make 15k per hour is a better idea then having regular fish 30 dollars each

    but in fairness normal rods catch Normal fish for Days :/ so that means anyone can take advantage of this not just star rod owners

    Yes Normal rods really only catch normal fish witch is why I wanted to mainly buff normal fish so not only star rods are buffed.

    sitomo says he makes about 14k/hour. With this price increase, his profits (and others with star rods) could make too much.

    @sitomo if you could provide a video of you making this amount of money it would be nice but in the meantime il do some more fishing and fiqure out how much it actually needs to be buffed.

    + 1 & - 1, +1 becuase fishing takes a long time with a normal rod and needs a little boost. - 1 because some fish already are 20$ + worth and if u did them all equally what would be the point of different fish....

    Fishing is a little easier than before now. So I'm in the middle with this suggestion.

    Made 12k/hour last time I tested it. Not sure if me having 388 fishing changes anything.

    Yes this is why I said that it would be better if all of the fish were raised equally so it could make 15k per hour.
