About the FISH

[Force-Attuned Krogoth]

Honestly, I don't see fish as unbalanced. The only thing you can do with fish that you can't otherwise is heal SP greater than blue potion but less than 50% of your max. It's not even easier to get them, and not any less weight required. I think that doubling bait price is enough to make them not worth worrying about. You can buy potions, even blue ones. While you couldn't ordinarily buy yggdrasill seeds or berries, or mastela fruits, they're not difficult to hunt. It's not any more cost-efficient for anything, or all benefits put together. There are only two benefits of fish over anything else. First, you don't have to be high-level on the fishing character (in reference to mastela fruit particularly). Second, it only takes one hotkey instead of two.

Is all that worth the extra cost? That's for each person to decide for himself. Personally, I think it isn't.
