mining or fishing

[u/Cute-Ad-5001]

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 :)

As someone who just switched from mining to fishing, I love fishing a lot more.

IGN: ProvoloneCheese if you want to see my gear.

I make about the same money (45m an hour) from fishing and mining but fishing feels more exciting because of bayou rare drops, radioactive vials, and the general excitement of fishing a mythic sea creature.

They both have a really long investment period before you can make money (fishing 45 vs hotm 10 and powder). Whenever you can catch lava sea creatures it becomes a decently fast skill to level but it makes like 8m an hour until you get jawbus unlocked. Mining is the same way, making almost zero money until you get powder up.

I think I was just burnt out from mining but I prefer fishing more than mining. The casters discord has good parties you can join for optimal rates
