Welcome to Gaia! ::

They finnaly did it...they are gonna make it so all the fishing bots die!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



The fishing system is scheduled for some major improvements.
Here is an outline of the changes you can expect to see.

* New action-oriented system

-The rod will begin to shake wildly when something takes the bait.

-Countering the movement of the rod will reduce the stamina of your intended catch.

-A catch is best reeled in when its stamina is close to zero, so much more attention is required when compared to the current fishing system.

-In accordance with these changes, fishing skill will rise at twice the rate of the current system.

* Strengthening of lower-level fishing rods

-Lower-level rods such as the willow rod will become much more durable.

-Other new characteristics will determine the type of rod best suited for catching certain types of fish.

* Increased effects of fishing skill

-The method for comparing fishing skill and the level of the fish will be improved, making it easier for those with higher fishing skill to catch high-level fish.

* Other changes

-Everyone will gain a new "fishing instinct."

-The "instinct" of those with higher fishing skill will be more accurate.

Man this is gonna make fishing a hella lot more fun for me an anyone else that does it!

yay no more bots

thatd really suck if the fish market skyrocketed... im an alchemist and some of the things need silencing potions... i make them with lightnina one mercury and one cobalt jellyfish... which is a fish... and mercury prices would go up too.... made with 4 cobalt jellyfish... so thatd really suck if they skyrocketed i state again.

it's with any of their Fishing "Fixes"

first, they nerf the Rusty Cap fix, which went for 2k a cap, a nice profit for an item you don't really use often. they lowered the NPC sell price, and "OMG WOW" they drop to 200gil, each...

now, they're doing this "Anti-Bot" thing. i mean, Kudos to SE for trying to remove the bots, but this is gonna cause my Cooking and Alchamy to become more costly, because Fishkabobs, and other Fish made dishes are gonna be more costly, due to the more effort needed to catch them.

now for those that profit from Moat Carps, you might say bye bye to them, the prices themselves will rocket a couple grand (maybe up to 12k, or more) due to, lo and behold, there will be more effort put into the craft. so people will buy less, fish more.
