I started getting into fishing and any online guides for upgrading the totem seem to be from just before the crystal preset was introduced. I tried different menus that might have covered it such as enhancing and processing but I can't find any way to use the basic totem in them even though the exp is over 100%.
Not sure if that option got moved to an npc, overlooked in the interface overhaul or just scrapped as legacy content. I did even look at the warf manager npc in case it had gotten moved to that npc. Am I just out of luck or is it hidden in a really obscure location now?
Edit: did more digging around and found it under the life tab of the menu in case anyone else comes looking.
The search option in the menu is great for these kind of problems.
