It seems like with the new restriction of not being able to sell trade items in the region they originate from, Fishing has become completely broken. Not being able to sell at the town you catch fish from is absolutely terrible! Also it seems like the inability to sell fish in its originating region is super inconsistent: you can sell Heidel fish at Heidel, but both Calpheon and Shakatu won't allow same-region fish, which is extra annoying. Fishing is one of my biggest sources of (afk) silver, but having to travel back and forth between different regions just to be able to sell is just ridiculous. I really love this game but this update is just really frustrating (and apparently I'm not the only one annoyed by this). Please PA, fix the system you broke.
EDIT: So it looks like it's not the originating region that's a problem, it's that fish can only be sold in "capital" cities/towns, but that's still a terrible system. Like @Alnilam mentioned, I think there should be fish-only traders in every town, or something similar so that, say, someone fishing in Shakatu doesn't have to go all the way back to Altinova just to offload some fish then go all the way back. Or heck, change it so fish aren't trade items anymore (that way tagged characters can fish too).
We are in slump of terrible design changes and I hope this is turned around soon, I want to fish on my main and enjoy a tag character and not be crippled by ignorance from the dev team who dont value how i wanna play the game.
All these recent topics are the same problem which is the devs making stupid updates and not fixing the real problem.
Rather than admit mistakes and revert trading nerfs they had to make a new system and totally broke it in the process.
Shakatu is not a capital city, so you can't sell anything there.
Calpheon's trader is broken and won't let you sell unless you approach from the right angle. Hopefully that will get fixed tonight.
As far as I know, there is no region restriction on fish. I've been fishing in Kama and selling in Grana without problems.
But they should add special traders that only buy fish in more locations across the world. *cough* Oquilla's Eye *cough*
I think @Alnilam is right, there's no region restriction. It's just that only major cities trade managers can buy fish, where before all trade managers could buy fish.
I don't understand what's the benefit of restricting fish sales to only major cities, or the drawback of allowing fish sales at all traders.
Papua Crinea is 0 money now.
So you either sell at Capital, or Imperial Fishing Delivery. (Some are not located in Capital, like Serendia in Glish, Mediah near Splashing Point, Calpheon in Port Epheria)
I agree that mechanically it's annoying. From a lore perspective, you need to go to the big city to sell you catch, as usually happens irl.
