anyone else not getting roe? I've done about 30 Sturgeon and 5 Paddlefish with not 1 roe...
Salvage x18 Large sturgeon give 4 fish roe.
best place for fishing large sturgeon waterfall rare hotspot in brimstone, i catch in 40-50min x18 large sturgeon.
im fishing quenching broad hotspot and waterfall rare hotspot.
this large sturgeon probably BUG.
never give fish roe, i salvage 50 large sturgeon fish probably bug, before time when i salvage give fish roe but now give nothing.
After spending the past 4 days intensely fishing for these to collect some proper data on it I've determined the following.
While using the following gear & items to fish for large sturgeon specifically.
Ironwood Fishing Pole with the following perks
All while using Meat Bait which is free to "cook" at any chef's station. I would NOT recommend buying bait such as clam bait or oyster bait, but they can be used if you have salvaged them yourself.
99.5% of catches of sturgeon will be large. If you are missing a perk or 2 on the gear for day or night time and or using meat bait then you might get a few medium but almost all should be large.
I only fished in 2 star “rare” hotspots. If the spot was already being fished I skipped it. Each hot spot has 20 catches if you do not let any get away. I fished for a day till I got about 100 give or take a few. Over four days I fished 59 hotspots all by myself catching 1180 fish/chests. Of those 415 were large sturgeon and 15 were medium sturgeon.
Each hotspot takes about 15 min to complete and about 30 to respawn. They can easily be run infinitely if uncontested. For a total of 14 hours and 45 min. Average of about 3.5 hours a day to catch 100 large sturgeon. The lowest amount was 3 and the highest was 11 but the average per hotspot was 6.85. The chance to catch a large sturgeon was 34.25%.
I salvaged them in the 100 batches that they were caught each day. The first batch gave 39 roe, the second batch gave only 20 (the lowest), the third batch gave 56 (the highest & outlier), the forth gave 28 roe. For a total of 143 roe making the chance to get roe from a large sturgeon about 29%.
Prepared with a full chef set & 3 major cooking crafting trophies one can easily double the amount of fish sauce made and then again double the amount of meals as well. Really making extreme profits from just a few base resources.
Luck has NO impact on either the size of the fish (colossus does) NOR does it change the amount of roe that is salvaged from the fish themselves.
Salvaged 100 Large Sturgeons and got:
Fish roe: 40
Fish Oil: 355
Firm Fish Fillet 348
Took me over 5 hours to farm that many.
Confirmed salvage from sturgeon. I just salvaged a bunch of small sturgeon and got 4 Fish Roe.
I salvaged 39 large sturgeon, 27 medium, 42 small. and 28 large paddle-fish, 13 medium and 11 small and i got 7 Fish roe from it wearing full luck gear.
I dont think the sturgeon is correct. I deconstructed 18 Sturgeon, all sizes, and didnt get a single Fish Roe.
you were unlucky but not that much, they are around 30% from large sturgeon, you might of included mediums in those 30, so from a 30 batch, you should've gotten 9 roe on avg, but when a sturgeon has roe, it has multiple 4-5, so you are narrowing your chances of getting 1 or 2 prompts max out of the 30 fish and you got 0 prompts, so is not that unlucky as it seems.
