1 cast, 1 fish

Duncan says that you won't get anything big while auto-fishing. Is it true? As it is, I've only gotten average sized fish from auto-fishing...

Old thread but putting an answer here for those who are wondering.

Duncan's claim that you won't catch large fish while autofishing is entirely erroneous. One of my alts caught a Carnivorous Fish while autofishing at Rank 9. It's entirely possible to catch the big stuff while autofishing.

Then perhaps its just less likely in autofishing?

Perhaps. There'd be a lot of observed autofishing and manual fishing required to prove that either way though.

I think he means you'll never auto-fish a 5 star fish with auto-fishing (even with +size reforge). Looking at my journal, I think there's a 3 star wall.

Yeah, i'm talking about the 5 star ones.
