Dang this fishing is fun.... Well catching is fun!

Can someone post a list of places to buy fishing gear? I broke my line and lost my hook and need to get some tackle. I am currently in Riverhaven.

Thanks!

Put a ten minute timer on getting the prefab fishing poles to cut down on scroll and excess items in the game.

So don't throw them away unless you're done fishing.

Thanks.

So I decided to do some fishing on the docks while I was out in TC. But as soon as I would cast my pole, it would automatically get tangled up. I'd get the message about moving around so much has tangled my line, but I haven't moved at all. Could this be a bug? I could also imagine that maybe the current is too strong or something like that, but that's not reflected in the message I'm getting. I'll add a log of what I'm seeing.

Thanks for the help

[Stone Docks, Covered Shore]
Barely extending from the shore, the dock is little more than a short series of solid blocks of weather-battered stone. Thick sheets of canvas are lashed in a tent-like fashion around this port, keeping the onslaught of the skies and winds at bay while also serving to mask its presence from passing ships. With the excessive vegetation that creates yet another disguising layer outside the canvas, it's clear that many boats could pass along the Faldesu without ever knowing this place exists. You also see a brushy break in the undergrowth.

pull my pole

Your movement has caused extreme tension to build up on the line. The pole begins to buckle under the strain until you hear a loud SNAP!
[S]>

I had typed pull my pole to get the script to resume (where it would re-cast when in all the way) and it snapped from too much tension on the line. M My line was pulled in all the way though, where did this tension come from? Really sucks, cause I had just thrown away a spare pole 10 minutes earlier, as this one had a different line and hook on it. Oh well, time to buy another pole, was just wondering how this happened, and if its a bug or not.

-Master Ndin

Hmm, that was only the third pull. Could have sworn I've done three pulls before without a problem. Makes sense though, guess its a possibility. Thanks for showing me that perspective, hadn't thought of that. Maybe when my next round of bait runs out, Ill test that and see if that was truly the problem.


-Master Ndin

I've added a bit of fishing info to my site, with more to come. Next up is to add a page that explains the fish groups and where to find them (for example, you can find River 3 fish off the Langenfirth bridge).

The thing of most interest I think is the leaderboard comparing all the instances:

http://www.drtanning.net/tan/fishleaders.html?instance=all

I'll update when I remember...I play solely in Plat but I have characters parked at the boards in both Prime and TF so I'll just do them all at once now and then.

If anyone wants to chime in on where the unknown fish come from I'll update the list.

>Landing one room east of the barge dock

He meant west. Honestly, silly humans (and a male to boot!), they never can get directions right.

-Master Ndin

>>And what areas comprise River 1, River 2 and River 3?

River 3 seems more like estuary type. Fish that can swing in either fresh or salt water, found in areas of mixed salinity. All of River 3 group is found on the Amusement Pier in Crossing, as well as points slightly west of the pier (the ferry, the portage docks, etc). I'm not entirely sure about to the east of the pier, but I think everything on the waterfront and around the bay towards the Strand dock is considered Ocean type. Ocean type is also found in the two southernmost rooms on the pier on either side of the Inn (the one to the west has the free poles, the one to the east just has a broken pole as a prop.)

River 1 seems to be tributary or inland-water fish. Stuff you'd see in, say, Bearholdt's drainage ditch or the Arthe Dale swimming hole.

River 2, and this is just me guessing since I've yet to catch any from this group, would be strong river fish that live in downstream portions of the river between the weaker headwaters and the estuary zone.

J'Lo, no that other one

>>Well, I have caught largetooth carp in Lang

Fixed. Thanks, I missed that one on my list for some reason.

>> J'Lo's post

Good descriptions there. Here's where I go when I want fish in those groups.

River 1 - Brook in gobs, Jantspyre River (Mistwood)

River 2 - Rentable boats on Lake Gwenalion and their dock/pier in Langenfirth (through the black iron gate on the barge landing). I can't recall if I've ever found these fish anywhere else, but they must be somewhere. Anyone know?

River 3 - Langenfirth bridge, Segoltha in Zoluren.

Ocean - J'Lo is also correct..unless you have a boat, the very end of the amusement pier is the place to go to fish for these. Of course this makes no sense finding deep ocean fish in the Segoltha but whatever. :)

I suppose River 2 might be large inland bodies of water (Lake Gwenalion for instance). The problem is that if you fish into Lake Gwen from anywhere else but that pier, including the barge, you get River 3 fish. It might be that you have to be in the deeper parts of the lake, and that the wharf and the boats just count as that.

My plan is to go around the provinces and get a better sample of what kind of fish are there and what type of water they're found in, then maybe we can nail down better descriptions, as well as having a sort of Fishing Map.

Or if it's overly large you can email to play.net address and I'll add that info to my site when I make the page for it.

They're not lost, they're exploring places they haven't seen before.

We can carve canes.
We can carve short staffs.
We can even carve longbows.

Any chance you guys will let us start carving fishing poles?

> Is this a separate situation than having your line pulled in but not having moved anywhere, or will we be seeing less breakage in general?


The fix in question was for the pull verb only. Poles should no longer break as a result of said verb unless you have line out and have changed rooms. As long as the line is pulled completely in it should not break when pulled. As long as you are in the same room that you cast from, it should not break when pulled. If you cast in one room and are trying to reel it in from another room, it should break.

Let me know if you run into a situation where the above is not the case with the pull verb.
