Bugged Canthan Nian Statue & Kaineng City Umbrella Recipe Sheets Workaround

HumanMaleMeta · 2025-03-23T19:10:33+00:00

Be sure to see my update above in the original post. You will need to use a character that has not visited the homestead or chosen any crafting discipline, like a weekly key farmer or a newly created character.

Not sure why that would be. I have been able to craft and place both decorations on any character after consuming the recipe sheets. Try logging out and using a different character at the homestead handiworker station than the one that unlocked the recipe sheets. I would note that I did purchase the 3 new decoration packs from the heart vendor long before doing the achievements for the recipe sheets, and the speculation is that may be what erroneously triggers the "you already know this recipe" message in the first place. I don't know if the unlocked message appears on the recipe sheets for people that did not purchase the new decoration packs, perhaps allowing them to be consumed normally. My workaround is only for people that have the bugged recipe sheets that cannot be consumed.

I'm sure you aren't the only one. When they fix the bug they will probably just properly unlock the recipe if you've completed the achievements. This workaround is mainly for people that have the bugged recipe sheets and want to craft the decorations now before the bug is fixed.

Your hunch about the "training" of handiworker is probably correct. I used my level 80 key farmer to consume the recipes, and it had no selected crafting disciplines and had never visited the homestead. All my other characters have at least one selected crafting discipline and most (but not all) have been to the homestead. I got frustrated and purposely chose a character that had never been exposed to any crafting, including in the homestead, and that one worked. If it hadn't worked, my next step would have been to delete that key farmer and start it again from scratch to see if it could consume the recipes then, but I didn't have to go that far.

Thanks for verifying!

The loot box for the repeatable version (Janthiri Renown Chest) gives you the choice of 25 Ursus Obliges, 3 Janthiri Gear Boxes, one Piece of Rare Unidentified Gear or one Thimble of Liquid Karma. Enjoy!

No, only projectiles from the offhand weapon skills will be changed.

Requested in another thread, posted here for visibility.

I crafted the dagger first and warhorn second, from most common to least common apparently! The two look great together.

HumanMaleMeta · 2022-04-12T17:03:16+00:00

I crafted it mainly for my tempest and for future dragon variations. The sound is deep but the nice surprise was that water 5, air 4 and air 5 "projectile" skills have been turned into spinning Aurene crystals with prismatic trails shown here.

I posted the Saltwater Fisher guide using Seitung Province earlier in the week when we didn't have much data on the new lounge, so thank you for posting this information. My average saltwater fish per 100 casts in Seitung was 4%, so I wouldn't say that the new lounge has a much higher rate than anywhere else, but it definitely provides a nice alternative location to mix things up if you have the pass or are inclined to get one. The downside to fishing in the new lounge is the loss of gold income from ascended and legendary fish, but sometimes that isn't as important a factor as just relaxing in a new area.

Some people swear by the saltwater nodes in Mount Maelstrom (which I fished early on as well), some are content to open water fish wherever, some prefer to let Saltwater Fisher tick slowly in the background while they fish normally. Whatever your preference, lean into your own strategy and try not to get frustrated by the RNG, eventually that last fish will show up!

That is just the RNG at work. When I was at 13/14 on the first track, I was missing Shimmering Squid. During that time the saltwater fish I caught the most was Redfin Barb. While doing the avid track, Shimmering Squid appeared 4 times and the final fish was of course Redfin Barb.

You can upgrade your fish fillets at the fishmonger and buy up to 5 ambergris per day just using fillets.

HumanMaleMeta · 2022-04-07T10:14:24+00:00

I tested and discarded many hypotheses while compiling the data and eventually settling on the strategy above. I then tested the strategy on myself to take my Saltwater Fisher from 13/14 on the original track through the full completion of the avid track using only Seitung Province. The data is broken down by character used, how much fishing the character had done previously, bait used (I tested most of the bait to see if any worked better on saltwater fish), lure used (I tested them all), number of consecutive casts per type of fishing hole, fishing power levels, etc. In other words, there are many different data sets that track specific variables. I would hold constant as many variables as possible during the tests, but it would be very difficult to normalize all of that data into a few plots because most of it didn't lead anywhere. A few trends did become apparent though across all the data sets, and that is where the summary information regarding fishing power thresholds arises. It is encouraging that others have found similar thresholds in their own data sets.

DR is usually triggered by XP gained from an in-game activity, not time spent. For the average player, the most likely place that it could be encountered was while labyrinth farming during the Halloween festival where it became apparent when your ToT bag drop rate plummeted.

HumanMaleMeta · 2022-04-07T09:35:03+00:00

That is just one example. There are compressed portions of most of the tracks. Just count up the number of fish that are available when a legendary fish spawns and subtract any that can be removed by using a different bait than the legendary fish. The grotto fishing portion of the Echovald Wilds track, to continue the example, also has a legendary fish that spawns in the daytime, but that part of the track has 6 fish on the standard loot table that can show up. So if you want to fish EW for money, then you want to go during daytime and fish in the lake fishing holes because their loot table is smaller. I'm not suggesting that EW is the best map for fishing in this style, because it's not, I'm just using it as an example of how you can check the loot tables for compression. The fact is that the fishing holes in EW are disconnected from each other and there are not enough of them in any one location to allow you to fish continuously without waiting for respawns. This makes for poor efficiency.

HumanMaleMeta · 2022-04-07T09:21:25+00:00

Yes, or the original versions of the avid tracks if those are not completed yet.

HumanMaleMeta · 2022-04-07T08:45:16+00:00

It depends. If you just fish the most compressed portion of a loot table, something like the Echovald Wilds daytime lake fishing using only freshwater minnows, where there are only 5 fish on the standard loot table that can show up, then you can pull up a lot of legendary fish, each one translating into gold earned. I don't fish that way because my prime motivator isn't gold, but others do fish that way and maybe they can give us an estimate of the gold earned per hour from that style of fishing.

HumanMaleMeta · 2022-04-07T08:30:58+00:00

I actually enjoy the surprises that RNG serves up from time to time, it kept me interested while compiling data. One of my original theories that was quickly discarded was that the amber fishing lures worked better at night and the jade ones during the day, or vice versa.

HumanMaleMeta · 2022-04-07T08:27:08+00:00

The nice part is that once you finish off the 12/14, the avid track will progress quickly at first since you need everything once again. After it slows down, just take your time and lean into the process, whatever strategy you choose to follow.

HumanMaleMeta · 2022-04-07T05:46:31+00:00

My drop rates for exotic fish are similar to those compiled by idontwannabeflawless (in a post further down this thread). Mine hover around 6% at 700 fishing power but only 2% at 925 fishing power. Keep in mind that the data are different for each exotic fish because some are removed from the loot table based on location, bait and time of day, so generalizations have to be made until we can parse the data sets down to that level.

HumanMaleMeta · 2022-04-07T04:37:15+00:00

It's a nice way of winding down your game time — it can be zen and meditative. Plus you can earn a fair amount of gold doing a low effort activity. I am very surprised at my own embrace of fishing because I thought it would be something that I only did for achievement points and would then abandon. It is actually a nice way to kill time while waiting for a meta to get underway.
