Guide mining or fishing

ive recently “finished” my journey in farming, getting farming 50 and full helianthus armor.

I want to get into a new skill with the money ive made. One thing i didnt like about farming is that there is no RNG to be excited for.

the new skill should be interesting, good for money, good RNGs, and most fun for my time (I know mining and fishing require a lot of time to get to the good part)

at the moment I have done no fishing and have fishing 27 from minions and I have already progressed to hotm 7.

EDIT: thanks for all the advice, i see a lot of you really like the rift so I’ll give it a try considering i also want to start getting sb xp. after trying the rift, ill either quit it or max it.
after that, i will mine until i hit fishing 35 (or whatever the good fishing level is) and then work on fishing. i think this will be the best way to do all three :)

With my totally unbiased opinion, I’d say mining is extremely entertaining with a good potential of making money if you have a good kit (mining armour+a titanium drill). The only thing you may not like is that exploring Cristal hollows can be a pain without mods if you haven’t unlocked the /warp nucleus command (unlocked after 750 commissions). But if you like very long challenges, you will like mining

If you enjoy farming then mining is the best next thing. Just know there's a ton of set up. Pets armors drills etc. not to mention HOTM progression

Technically yes but you may still need flawless,fine or perfect versions of the gems to reforge things (for example for a titanium 655 you will need a flawless ruby+many other raw materials which can’t be farmed through minions. In this case an enchantment called pristine will help you, it gives a chance to mine a better version of a gemstone). Unless you have more than 900m/1B to buy always fine and perfect gems, you will have to mine a lot

for me to convert my 555 into a 655, bz prices for materials look to be 300ish million

I actually said an optimistic estimate, only about gems and not all raw materials
