Something is happening related to fishing, loot duplication and reddit

https://old.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/13fso74/unique_bosses_are_possessed_by_tormented_illegal/

Comments are being rapidly deleted and it appears like the fishing secrets are actually being posted for once instead of the normal trolling. Curious to see what the mods do with this thread. Probably should archive and take plenty of screen grabs just in case.

I'm just trying to piece this together based on what I'm reading from comments, then refreshing the page. If a comment was deleted, I presume they said something true.

The OP seems to have found a reliable way to get the map mod "Unique Bosses are Possessed by Tormented Illegal Fisherman"

I believe players are actively cataloguing that which they cannot on reddit on the underground site https://poe.fish/.

all the deleted comments are people trolling to make you think mods are deleting them.

Smells like red herring up in there.

You need to be wearing a fishing rod with "+3 Wishes per Ancient Fish caught", "50% increased effect of Wishes granted by Ancient Fish", and "23% increased Krillson Affection per Fish Gifted." Then travel to the Winding Pier and use your Wishes - this snapshots the Krillson's Affection buff when you gift your fish later. Once you max out Affection you can move on to the second quest. This wasn't possible before Crucible league because you didn't have enough Wishes.

Bit like surströmming, if you ask me. :o)

Also, I miss MonstaMunch.

Nothing will happen to this thread because nothing is wrong.

It has been in the game since Torment was released 7+ years ago.

Here's the datamined one:

Interestingly enough, the rarity bonus is lower than on all other spirits.

OP basically got baited :^)

I don't wanna be a conspirator.. but if it was really true, we still would not believe it. ;)

You laid it out pretty nicely. Will save this somewhere in my notepad to guide the newbie exiles-fishers in case they ask.

hoho secret fishing holes.
