I'd say, not like rework rework but more "FSH needs to be relevant".
Because, let's be honest here. You are only reminded about fishing when the new aethersand tier drops in and you need ones that come from fishes. Aside from it, how does it feel having an inventory full of stinky and absolutely useless fish? That only one CUL on your server will ever buy from you on marketboard?
It's insane how FSH is not relevant when put against other two gatherers. 95% of the fishes you catch are absolute junk that you can only put on the canvas, the other 5% are needed for CUL recipes and well, good luck selling that. And what's the point of big green named fishes other than you can put some in aquarium?
If you compare FSH to BTN and MIN in terms of scrip farming, again, it's WAY easier to pull out the other gatherers. Same for treasure maps.
FSH needs some more recognition! They should do something about it because it's been this way for god knows how long. The last meaningful addition to fishing was ocean fishing but well, who goes ocean fishing once they get all the rewards from there?
Maybe one step into the right direction would be increasing the amount of scrips you get when turning in collectable fishes compared to logs or ores. The other proposition is to add some actual rewards for catching big fishes, maybe add some NPC who will accept them for monetary reward (gil or scrips or maybe a new currency entirely).
And yeah, I understand that maybe the main point of FSH is being a fun, relaxing and non-commited job that kills time in between roulette queues, while you listen to lofi radio, I get all that. But honestly, to me it's a damn shame that such a fun job really falls behind the other two gatherers in terms of actual usefulness.
