The fishing game is not fun at ALL.
As far as fun goes, the fishing game is completely LACKING.
set fishingGame(fun) = 0;

The fishing game is extremely addictive.

So, I find myself wasting tons* of my vacation time on this fishing game that I don't even enjoy.
And for what?
For what, I ask you?
For what do I waste tons of my vacation time on an unenjoyable fishing game?

*tsk*
This!
This, my friends...
This is the essence of a Gaia "event" in a nutshell.

If I wasn't on vacation right now,
Let me tell you...
If I wasn't on vacation right now, I'd just stay away from the fishing game all-together.

I tend to enjoy the simulated frustration levels that mimic the reality of fishing, albeit the frustration that occurs when the wonderful Gaia web server farm crashes and burns. Since I can't drop what I'm doing and trot off to fish when I'd like, it's kind of a nice suprise to be able to play at fishing when it is working.

As far as those caps and helms go, it would be kind of nice to get one I like. Then I'll get back to increasing my gold by using a bag of Grade F bait and pulling 200 gold worth of fish out of Durem. That takes me about 12 minutes or so. After three rounds of fishing, I'm good for the day.

I admit it, I am rabid digital fisher. Hell I'm trying to be number one in Gambino or something.


Its a good distraction, until you get fifty pieces of junk in a row, or catch dagger mouth.

I haven't bothered with the Fish Exchange system. I like selling my fish way to much to exchange them for items that are most-likely all fish related.

Fair warning: if you do start fishing, you can lose a great deal of gold up front buying the rod and bait. Start with a 100 gold base rod and use grade F bait to learn at the Bass'ken lake game. You'll be throwing away your quest funds if you spend gold on more expensive rods.

NEVER buy anything more expensive than grade F bait no matter how good you get, actually.
You can make a good profit without ever touching the more expensive stuff.

Thanks for the pointers! 3nodding

I helped my husband buy a rod, and he seems to be doing pretty well, but he only fishes for fun, not for rank or anything.

I may get into it eventually, but, like you pointed out, I gotta get this blasted quest finished! xd

I've fished on two diffrent occasions, both times ended up with it freezing or something, and me losing my bait as well as anything I was in the middle of catching. Plus the game is bloody frustrating. Me no likey. xp

Another good reason to only use Grade F bait. You're only out 25 gold if the game flakes out while you're playing it.

On a good day, I can fill a bucket in 10 minutes of constant casting and reeling. I've had times when the game slows down so much that it takes twice that amount of time. The up side is that once you're playing the Durem game, you'll catch three fish and the bait is paid for. Everything else is profit if all you want to do is make gold.

Plus, with the Fishing System installed I no longer need to post in forums which makes me incredibly happy. I can make 200 gold in ten minutes! HOTCHA!

Which rod do you guys use? I'm using the basic, I bought it just to see how the game works, but I tried fishing in Gambino and it was murder to actually catch something. neutral
