I played in previous versions. That was worst than this version. And you didn't answer the question. What is your silver/labor ratio now?
Can we please buff sport fishing?

I'm game, after introducing Pufferfish fishing is simply not worth it anymore. I throw in a 25g chum, use a 2g lure and I pull out a 6-8g puffer. Not even worth the time.

For a silver/labor ratio, feel free to do the math:
I use 77 labor with 170k proficiency to cast a lure which can give a fish of 6g[18k hp pufferfish] to 39g[37k hp marlin] but to activate the spot i have to spend another 25g on top of it.
As investment i spent 500g on a Frozen Wave Fishing Rod[50days]. And i had to make a Fishing Boat the value for that is astronomical, if you want the right value feel free to look at it by yourself.

Fishing is worth only if you are a pirate, there is always someone chuming
and spots are close to trader you will get minimum od 14 fishes per spot. With 170k prof i'm always geting at least one or two 37k hp ones.

15-20% is too low imo

9x15%=1.35g However, 36x15%=5g
This said, the percentages need to scale due to the fact that there's such a drastic difference in gold prices per types of fish. I think something along the lines of:
1. 35% for Puffer
2. 30% for Tuna
3. 25% for Sturgeon
4. 20% for Sailfish
5. 15% for Marlin
This would still be very marginal, but would definitely help with how things are now significantly for fisherman and even those choosing to pirate fisherman. As it is now, pirates don't even care about fisherman. Why? Because they know it's a waste of their time to even attempt to steal a boat full of fish that's going to average their crew a whopping 6-9g per person once it's all turned in IF they succeed.
ArcheAge should operate on the policy of Low Risk = Low Reward, High Risk = High Reward. Freedich is the ultimate example of High Risk = High Reward (just one of many.) Anyway, fishing is high risk because you can get pirated, but why is it not high reward? Fishing should definitely be buffed.

They need to take pufferfish out of the pools
Hi All!
We looked into this question per your request. There has already been an increase in fishing from the very beginning in comparison to the official server.
This may be reconsidered in future, but, as for now, there is not going to be any other increase.

Why all the hate for pufferfish?!? None of you obviously have never dreamed of making your cottage a replica of the house from "Up"Balooonss galore!!!
All jokes aside, fishin does need some love. All it is, is pirate content..
A tear drop falls from my eye everytime i catch a 18k puffer.

@Sparkle Thank you for your response. Could you look at the statistics for the turn in at freedich fish vendor? I'm not sure if specific vendors can be programed to give higher rewards but the fish turning at freedich should be doubled! You are in the middle of a pvp zone that gets heavy traffic, you have to skate/donkey the packs in one at a time since there is no hauler for fish... It is a huge pain and those bold enough should be rewarded!
(would likely increase the purchase of cash shop donkey and move speed gear for it)

FatherOsborn and I both built our fishing boats around the same time and I can vouch that it is by no means a viable method to make consistent cash flow. Depending on your proficiency (I am currently hovering around 80k) you can end up with a 60 up to 250g pay out. I think the difference between these is way too much and needs attention. Those that invested in fishing boats know what I mean when I say the pay is just not good enough to even be compared to trade runs or even coinpurse farming.
