1. Catch a monster to fight.
2. Catch treasure chest.
3. Catch pets.
4. Catch rare items and costumes.
5. catch some fun and interesting quest
6. catch a rare swimming mount
7. Titles and achievements
8. fishing boats

Fishing hats! Gief.Now!

This is the very way to piss people off.

how would a fluff item piss people off?

Just for reference, I'm not anywhere in the vacinity of Akylios in terms of progression, its unlikely I ever will be.

Conversely you could also do a similar think in Realm of the Fae (it has alot of water) and thats easily accessible to everyone.

Just cause something exists doesn't automatically mean everyone must have it.

- fishing warfronts: guardians vs defiants fishing competition in Port Scion
- fishing rifts: random ponds that open for limited time where you can catch rare essences and recipes
- +1 for fishing hats
- +1 for fishing monsters that spawn randomly and try to kill you

except instead of fishing down into a pond you fish up into the rift. wonder what you would pull out of it if that happened!

cooked fish should definitly be better then vendor food!

[Lokyst]

Minor suggestion: Make the targeting reticle a different color / pattern depending on whether you're fishing shallow or deep water.

As the kind of person who would keep a fishing journal i would like to be able to clearly identify whether a particular type of fish comes from shallow or deep water.

Likes: the multiple reel in / fight the fish attempts
Dislikes: my chat box getting filled with "Reel it in" messages

This 'thing' could very well 'exist' without a 5 or 10 or 20 man gate.
There is no reason to gate any part of fishing in any other way than areas of overworld content accessed by level alone.

[TheProtagonist]

It would be nice if you earned some amount of XP from fishing; as it is it's a nice little timesink, but I'd rather be killing stuff to earn PA levels - at least I get a tangible reward from that.

It does seem kind of half-assed at the moment - a few artifacts, a couple of reputation turn-in items, and some fish that you can cook into stuff which isn't really any better than vendor food. Hopefully it'll get expanded on to make it a bit more worth the effort before it goes live. If anyone's actually going to take it seriously, there needs to be some sort of actual benefit from it, even if it is just silly little vanity fluff items.

The best way I can see getting raiders to skill up fishing and survivalist is to have survivalist craft food buffs (like the kelari chocolate/cherry cake) and have the mats for those buffs come from fishing, and later trapping.

Its not gating it's realism. You cant have everything if you arent willing to go everywhere to get it. I accept this.

Lastly there should be special max level areas to fish in dungeons/raids where you can get artifacts that give something very cool. I suggested tonight on the PTS (and many seemed to like this idea) that a 300 level area at Akylios's dock could yield a artifact set that if completed would give a mini akylios pet. I think that would be pretty neat. Or like an Akylios hatchling or something. Because these are max level items I don't imagine they would be needed for at least a patch or two, but I think it would be a neat thing for max level fisherman to go for.

No. It's a tradeskill, not a raidskill.

[VinciEX]

Liked my first fishing experience. 'Click anywhere to reel in' is comfortable and easy. Also liked the 'rheel more than once' for bigger catches.

Looking forward to different craftable lures you gain at later levels - especially the only artifacts lure.

Btw, what happens if you throw your lure upside down into a water rift?

[Khelendross]

No. It's a tradeskill, not a raidskill.

Irrelevant especially since other trade skills have raid components.

So would you be happy if I said make the BiS end tier 2H relic not available from the last boss but as a reward for 25k gathering?

With Trion's track record of adding pretty solid features, I'd be willing to bet there will be some good fluff here.

10 bucks says we can eventually fish up "Awwkyllios", similar to Gweenscale. At least, I really hope so...

If said relic was a fluff item sure. Which is what I am saying. I'm not saying the best fishing consumable should come from HK, just fluffy stuff, I mean there should be fish in the water but it shouldn't be any better than what you can fish up in other more secluded areas of Ember Isle or the lake where you zone into expert Realm of the Fae
