Today I got Master Angler using Qi's Magic Bait which allows you to catch Fish out of season, so I didn't need to wait for another half year to get the Legend. That is a great game item for forgetty people like me but LOL it still took a whole season for me to realize this was an option.

Farmer Bobbi peruses her Qi Gem options, selects Hossfloot because Hoss misses me when I'm swaying to Island rhythms. After going back and forth through the options, next up is the Aquatic Sanctuary because it's important for all the Legends to be in the same tank and dispute amongst themselves who is the grandest. Too bad I only have 4 Legendary Fish, I'm gonna have to wait like 3 more months for the definite article.
...
Yep, 3 months, what tooo doooooo...
More Qi Quests. I laugh,
laugh! in the face of the Prismatic Grange, 14 days? I'll have it in 1.4 hours O Great Wizard of Qi hiding behind that Walnutty curtain. Hm more shopping, always a pleasure to select key items. Scan while carefully weighing options. Heavy Tapper recipe for those new Trees. Hm, I should stick to Recipes so I can craft my own special Qithings and not risk acquiring rickets visiting this glorified rat's den too often. Recipe quests: Hungry Level 100 in Skull Cavern, Dangerous Mines with no Elevator? All in a good week's hackin and slashin' for this pro Combatrix. Yeah yeah OK, mostly Bombing and Jadecasing and Cheezchomping.
Perusing Recipes... Hype Speed Gro- nah I need slower Crops, Delux Fertilizer- nah, I Keg/Jar everything, Hopper- that seems complicated, Magic Bait- I already got like 5 kinds of Bait, Blue Grass Starter - Oooo! that sounds like fun, more colors for the Farm! Still got more Gems...
...
Bleh, maybe save for a second Aquatic Sanctuary as I'll accept the Legends Tribute Band Farewell Concert Tour quest.
...
Legends.
Legend.
Magic Bait.
!!!
I could Fish up the Legend in Fall!
Farmer Bobbi runs to Ginger, gets Magic Bait Recipe, prays for leftover Radioactive Ore from Dangerous Mines and just
amazingly there's some in the Special chest. Craft 40 Bait, Warp Totem to Mountain Lake, set up at S. end, pop a Dish O' The Sea, almost pass out from Fishbreth. Come to and Fish. Fill inventory (stupid Pirate profession and tasty looking Treasure Chests!), no Legend. Seb visits at the lake for like an hour, never seen him stay so short but he was downwind from my pack fulla Fish, so understandable. TeleportStikk home, drop off stankyfish (sorry, Seb) and booty. Second Warp Totem, second Dish o' the Sea (damn, maybe
that's why Seb said nothing but kept glancing my way with an alarmed look on his face), and Mr. Legend is the first bite.
A long battle of wills ensues with extensive grunts, a few choice words, and lots of splashy water from a strong fish tail, but with Farmer Bobbi the eventual sodden victor.
It's like 4pm, with the odds being low for the Legend as all Lake fish are options this early catch was unexpected, so Farmer Bobbi wanders the map in a stupor. Not even a day earlier she was resigned to waiting another half year and maybe figuring out how Rain Totems work, now she was...
Done.
A weird thing for this farmer, to be done with things. The complete Museum Collection happened just a few days ago and she'd just finished Professor Snail's Island collection too, after many frustrating weeks of Panning for a freekin' WombatButt or whatever that was.
The following day, not knowing at all what to do with herself, Farmer Bobbi bumps into her Island Obelisk and whispers into her Horse Flute. Riding around, she stops into Qi's refuge from accursed Vitamin D and pokes at the KittyCat thing in the corner, greeted with:
59%
...
Swaying on her feet, dazed by an intense wave of déjà vu, she's transported to a hazy fitful dream from long ago where a slightly altered version of herself peered into the same statue to see 38 or maybe 48%? Huh, am I doing OK? she wonders.
Meh, just a dream... right?
(yes I will say this every time. It's important!)
