Suggestion: Expand Fishing

[xage]

I like that guild idea. It reminds me of the guilds in FFXI. When you give them materials, they will give you points which will result in access to special recipes and equipment.

well imho the main reason "more spots" is not acceptable is because then the macro-ers can spread out even more, making it harder for GMs to manage/monitor them...

perhaps a sub-quest or add-on would be to "cook" the fishes... but then it would be a mockery to real RO cooking... so i dunno, anyone got more interesting ideas?

Well, I think the subject here is to suggest ideas and what the players would like to happen to the fishing script. It is up to the GMs to decide which features they can and cannot implement or if they will even decide to change the script at all.

Actually...if it is possible to make a healing item, that heals X%/points of hp/sp per second, for X amount of time without them stacking onto each other's effects...'cooked' fish wouldn't be a bad idea, in my opinion.

Perhaps use some items out in the world that would be semi hard to hunt- to provide another outlet for money in the selling market, along with specific fish/amounts of them, and a fun quest to allow you to do it all.

Maybe make an 'advanced fishing hat' later that increases chance of 'cooking' being a success, and producing an item.

Just another quick idea, mutant fish and angel fish could be made into special sushi, or something...and when used they resist a certain % of light/dark(or undead) damage for x amount of time.


Just my few quick thoughts, sorry for rambling a bit.

Aren't you basically describing the Large / Medium / Small Healing Potions and similar, but for fish? In the first paragraph, that is.

If the thoughts I mentioned already exist, just ignore my ramblings.

I never really heard of those potions, up until now though, oddly enough.

Those potions only appears at Muspel, if you've never gone there, or never dropped them, you know what they do now.

[ShadowValentine]

Fairly useful, they are.

The fishing system in heRO is fun, but it is pretty limited as it is now.
I'd really like to see this expanded in future updates!

Some suggestions:
-A lot more fishing spots! (can have different level/fishing level reqs/different things to fish up)

-More fish / items added to diversify what can be fished ^ ^

-Perhaps a fishing guild (toss some npcs in a vacant building) with related quests / shops. Some quests can be like
...*bring back a rare fish (quest item) get to choose from x rewards
...*fish at every fishing spot and get a reward
...*trade fish caught back for guild points, which can be used for items/bait

Something something :3

This is the best idea I've heard in awhile. I'd love having tons of objectives and things to do with both fishing & mining. I'm a big fan of the Fishing system in Breath Of Fire III. Any way we can get a Random Weight Generator on the Fish? And get records for like "Biggest Bass" and such.

That sounds like an awesome idea. Trying to compete for best catch of the week and maybe if you're currently in the lead, you'll have a bonus in fishing.
