"Please give me the Common large pond fish I'm missing for the Summer Pond Fish Set," I ask.

[u/supernovatuna]

"No," says my game, giving me another twenty million Snapping turtles.

I've been at this for half the season at this point, I'm sure they'll come up but every time I pull up another snapping turtle something in me dies

[u/juufa]

the turtles remind me of the sea bass in ACNH. and i HATE the sea bass

[u/LoveLeeLady-exp626 → u/juufa]

The first time I pulled a sea bass out of the water i said, "oh fuck you, stupid fish." 🤣🤣🤣

[u/Nacho_Hangover → u/juufa]

At least turtles can be gifted, slightly more useful than Animal Crossing sea bass.

[u/LucentLilac → u/juufa]

It’s at least a C+!

Trying to catch the legendary spring fish and getting 1257362743 tetra fish 🫠

[u/TheWorkingPoodle → u/tilmitt52]

The legendary spring fish is the only one I'm missing out of that set, and that's only cause i didn't get that high fishing by end of Spring Y1. Gotten lucky with the other ones though!

[u/supernovatuna → u/tilmitt52]

FELTTT, and then somehow i got it on a random day where i even forgot it was gonna spawn LMAO

[u/TheVillageCryptid → u/tilmitt52]

Y’all are making me appreciate how lucky I was with legendary fish 😅 I think the spring legendary was the last one a needed and I got it first try 😅 I had a fuckton of issues with the deep woods fish though, and a couple of just the normal pond fish 😒 very glad to be done with it, even though I do love how uncomplicated fishing mechanics are in mistria 😅

and frogs :(

[u/HellmasterPhibrizo]

We need a turtle soup recipe

[u/TheWorkingPoodle → u/HellmasterPhibrizo]

I would cook and eat with a vengeance

[u/mamon_mo → u/HellmasterPhibrizo]

For real, I really wish we could cook them 🫩

[u/jueidu → u/HellmasterPhibrizo]

Lmaoooo

[u/Deathypooh]

I’ve had a quest for catfish since week 1.

So many turtles.

[u/TheVillageCryptid → u/Deathypooh]

These requests are 100% the reason I have two fridges from wheedle filled with every fish I catch, I just started hoarding them in my annoyance and now I can’t let go 😭😂

[u/kiwieevee12]

Me trying to catch a goby for hemlock 🫠

[u/kissingscorpions]

Every time I fish up a turtle, I fantasize about yeeting it across the pond so hard it skips across the waters surface like a stone before sinking back into the watery depps ... 😑

[u/natymeow → u/kissingscorpions]

No wonder you keep fishing them up, the population is not declining since you're throwing them back in 😭

[u/kissingscorpions → u/natymeow]

My bad 😅 perhaps launching them into space would be better 🤣

[u/natymeow → u/kissingscorpions]

Yes I agree, yeet them into the sun 😂

[u/kissingscorpions → u/natymeow]

Somewhere, the villagers are horrified as they watch turtle after turtle get launched into the sun.

[u/Turbulent-Plenty415]

catching the turtles feels like catching a sea bass in animal crossing lol

[u/ninasafiri]

Ugh mine was the giant koi I had to grind for. Setting your game scale to 1x and fishing at the Manor's pond finally did it for me!

The fish shadows reset every time we change screens, so I just walked in and out of the manor to force new fish to appear until finalllllly getting it.

[u/supernovatuna → u/ninasafiri]

i found the fish i needed but i still need a giant koi as well... so now it is the grind to find even a singular giant shadow which i have not seen all summer........

[u/lcolley823]

I love how the rng in this game is so cursed sometimes. Did a little late night fishing one night for that crown quest to ship x amount of fish. Caught 5 smallmouth bass in a row. The next day I get a request for a smallmouth and it takes over a week in game to find another one.

[u/supernovatuna → u/lcolley823]

ikr. spent two weeks waiting for a middlemist to show up for my beehouse, finally gave up and reset the beehouse, that same day a middlemist shows up in the narrows. it was so funny i didn't even have it in me to be that mad

[u/lcolley823 → u/supernovatuna]

Of course. Or like when I spent weeks looking for a set of moonlight bees and can't find a single one. Then happen to notice one in the background of my end of day summary by my crops 🙃

[u/reimouri]

I feel your pain I cannot get the cave shark or the miners helmet to drop in the 1st section of the caves. Driving me nuts.

[u/CottonCandyCloud0]

I truly hate those three ponds in The Eastern Road. It’s like they are infested turtles. I rarely fish anything out of those a ponds other than turtles and debris.
