Can we pleeeeeease port over the Achaean Fishing system? It would fit perfectly into environment, and would be so much better than that stupid trout catch in Hunting.. of which there are like 8 trout in the entire Basin.

I don't really have much more to say.. except that I love Achaean fishing, and I'd really really really love to see it in Lusternia, and I'm in the mood to beg


Oh.. and

I loved fishing too, but I'm not sure I want the gold influx that the system brought with it.

I'm sure we can get something more original than that.

I would just be happy with more fish, and a way to cook them in Hunting. Nothing near what a real cook can do, but something.

Well, they could always minimize it. I mean, comm shops currently buy fish. Could just modify that slightly, to pay less for small fish, and a little more for bigger fish. Let bigger fish only be able to be caught in the oceans, where you'll have to battle currents as well if the shore gets fished out.

And maybe add an actual hunting ability too, that operates like fishing but with different animals available in different terrain types, and using a bow and arrow rather than a fishing pole.

Fishing pole = Bow
Bait = Arrows

I think that'd be awesome.

If it'd give about the same amount of money as ratting, maybe slightly more, than sure (but there are still more important things to code). Otherwise it will totally destroy the balance of our economy.

Wasn't fishing what hiked Achaea's credits up to 6k?

Exactly.

And, I don't want to see anything ported gameplay-wise, because this isn't Achaea, it's what I play when I get sick of Achaea. Though I wouldn't have a problem with like...the message system coming over. Damn that is seksay.

Unless Achaea's is incredibly different in some way that I didn't notice in my time there, the messgae system is here, and always hass been here

They recently changed it.

I think adding Fishing is great.
It would have to be something unique though.
From what I know, all IRE games closely resemble eachother.
It's only the details that make Lusternia so much better as the other 3.
Fishing is an excellent opportunity to differ Lusternia from the other games, refining it in the proces.
I'd love to brainstorm on what would and what wouldn't be good to do with this... But only if there's actually plans on implementing it in the code

We have awesome quests that can help people get tons of gold. We also have weeveling, rattings, and comm quests. I REALLY don't want fishing to come here. Maybe increase (JUST A BIT) the price of trout since there are so few of them. Or increase te number of the trout.

I personally think Fishing will just like be fishing in Achaea. Lets be original.
Hamster trapping anyone? Viravain's hamster becoming a vernal hamster god, bringing the trade of hamster trapping in Lusternia.

Could I catch hamsters with a rod and a pierced worm? *halo*
Ppppplease?

uh.. If they grow fins and gills and swim in the water, then yes.

For normal hamsters you lay out your TRAP and wait in a corner, (baiting in fishing) You sometimes make hamster noise, mimic a hamster, illusion a hamster, spread out sleeping hamster food, or whatever based on your commune/city affiliation (to make it original )to attract them or something (teasing in fishing), then BAM!
For the struggle part... I dont know.. perhaps we have to catch them alive because Squibbles, the newly transformed Hamster Vernal God, wants them alive. Then you struggle to take the hamster out of your trap -alive-. One wrong move and your hamster dies, no money for you.

The first time hamsters were brought into the basin, everyone got disconnected though. Hehee

I wonder if hamsters like cheese...

Actually, lets get whaling. Buy a boat and a harpoon gun and go on a quest for blubber. Mmm, blubber.

okay this is me trying to flesh out my idea.

I would really enjoy fishing really. In lusternia Credits reach crazy amounts anyway without the joys of fishing, but it could be made where the reward wasn't gold anyway. What if it were a random small group of commodities? When you took the fish you caugh to the fisherman he said something like, oh I don't have the mony to pay, but I have about ten wheat? Would you be willing to trade? Or something like that

It could be made into a skillset

Forage bait (could be several types of bait depending on the terrain you forage )
craft pole
Fresh water fishing
Saltwater fishing (off the shores of the seas
Deep sea fishing (from within a boat upon the seas?)
Catch crab
catch lobster
catch minnow (catching minnows would use some type of small bait as worm, and when you caught the minnow, the minnow could be bait for other types of fish.
catch (blah blah other fish names here)
Different fish wield yeild different groupings of commodities you could recieve (No metal commodities or gem commodities would be rewarded) and each fish would have a different sort of bait that would be used to catch it.

Aethership Fishing!!! Allow you to catch aetherfish which can be fed to a siphon for power, or put into a nexus for power?

I insist that all future ideas include harpoons. Imagine how fun hamster gathering would be
