It's a pretty simple idea really. First off, make junk a generic item instead of something that is simply discarded when you fish it up. No different types of junk, just 1 category for all junk that is fished up.

Then: introduce a new NPC, possible to the Commons or anywhere the devs see fit: The Junk Collector. Let's call her Trish for now (Trish ... Trash ... get it O.O ... yah I know I suck)

The rest is simple, you bring X number of junk to Trish and she offers you some unique Trinkets or Housing items that can only be obtained from her. I've no idea what they could be but I'll leave that up to the imagination of the developers.

Sry to double post, but just as a follow up, I just thought of a possible direction to go in with the Trinkets.

If possible, I think it would be best to make the Junk Collector offer Trinkets that offer benefits to Fishing. For example:

100 Junk -> +5% chance to fish up Gold
200 Junk -> +5% chance to fish up Energy
500 Junk -> +8% chance to fish up Gold
700 Junk -> +8% chance to fish up Energy

and so on. Just a thought.

Great idea Jay. I've never fished up so many knives in my life, with boots a close second. Would be really nice to get something from all that. I don't know about anything over 100 junk at a time though, I would just leave it as your choice of a 5% chance to get gold or fish for every 100 pieces of junk. :)
