Any reason why there is no “fishing” accessory slot for the wildercloth fishing cap? I mean… all other professions have accessory slots for their respective clothing… just wondering. That would also save a spot in our bags.

Since the system is not giving me a place to add to this discussion, I’m sorry, Aldamian, I am adding a reply to your comment with hopes to bump this to the top.
This is the stupidest thing in the game right now. REALLY, you make every other profession “Put on an Accessory Hat” from somewhere which seems to be a transmog, most are ugly - But you don’t give fishing and actual accessory Slot for Hats.
Someone fishing needs three things (well four and five if you include the raft and some beer) a fishing rod, their multi-pocket fishing vest (which could technically be considered a tool), and a fishing cap. I grew up on the water, fishing all the time - this is Fishing 101.
You’ve given every other profession accessory slots, things that include enchantments or advantage points in other things like Perception, etc… WHY NOT FISHING???
I am so frustrated right now with this one thing. This is a simple fix.

I have no idea why this is a thing other than maybe there was some wonkiness with going into combat while fishing they couldn’t fix? I feel like thats kinda silly though because the issue doesn’t exist for other proffs

DF’s common fishing hat doesn’t give much of a bonus.
Nate’s hat has better stats. Even over all with the master fishing cap.
Hopefully they’ll add more to it.
Given the way they ruined the legion fishing pole, making it all but useless now, i dont know if id trust them to “fix” this.

Because its currently kinda pointless. +fishing skill is somewhat of a placebo stat. It doesn’t really do much of anything in DF.
Many of us complained and reported it during Beta but no one ever made adjustments.
We do need more “gear” for angling in my opinion. There are things that they could add for us too. I think we should be able to have wading boots / leggings to stand in water and get a fishing bonus, new fishing poles (different styles or bonuses that can be used in different areas that might give a bonus chance to catch a pet), a tackle box for off hand for bonus fishing points (and storing lures and things), a fishing chair (if we aren’t wading in the water that gives the same bonus as the leggings so we have options you know), the fishing hat, the vest and fishing pets that can offer bonuses to us too (or some might produce free lures to add to the tackle box).
The raft would be nice and make rumsey rum lager or other beers that give bonuses or a % chance of capturing rare fish that actually start a pet battle that let you capture it and it’s the ONLY way of getting the pets. Then we have more reasons to fish all over the coasts, rivers and such. We could have chances to get rare pets and add more rare mounts to catch too other than just the sea turtle. As someone who also loves fishing in real life and in games these are my suggestions for us anglers.

That have the hat slot for cooking, why not fishing?
Agreed, its frustrating for me to have to carry the hat in my bags for fishing…
Quite the Necro here, but still, I don’t understand why there wasn’t a hat slot for Fishing at the beginning of DF.
