DO NOT think of fishing spears being tiers.

There is no T1, T2, T3 spear. They are no direct upgrades over each other. Rather consider they more as damage types.

For example, The Lanzo spear which people consider the T1, says it's better against fish with smooth skin rather than scales or armor. As such fish like Sharra and Murkray CAN BE CAUGHT IN A SINGLE THROW.

Common fish can be caught with any spear. If they're uncommon or rare (stated as such by the fisher woman when you turn them in), then look at the fish you're trying to catch. Think about what it's skin is like. Then use the appropriate spear. There's some overlap on the uncommon fish between armor and scales, but the rarer fish will only be vulnerable to a single spear type.

Lanzo spear = Smooth skin

Tulok spear = Armor plates and carapaces/shells

Peram spear = Scaled fish
