Prize Catch & Perception

Prize Catch seems to bypass perception requirements.

6.1 big fish caught at various low perception ratings that have been confirmed with Patience II.

2100 is the hard breakpoint for Patience II to force large-sized, but Prize Catch forces it at [seemingly] any rating. Difficult to truly test ‘any’ because some perception will be had in order to met the 2400 gathering breakpoint.

This is rather interesting.
Prior to testing it on big fish I assumed that the Prize Catch buff may just be Patience II reskinned, which it still might.
Both force collectables to be highest tier (for Patience II when at or above the soft breakpoint).
I initially thought that Prize Catch was yielding collectables that were closer to the floor of tier 3 when testing on scrip fish, but further testing has shown that Patience II and Prize Catch appear to function similarly with what they yield.

There’s more things to test with it but it is certain to bypass perception requirements.
