Fishing?

[Myrkris]

Is there any relatively easy way to fish? When I tried it last time, it seemed like twitch gaming. I'd rather not sit at my desk watching the bobber for hours to level it, but I need to get it up on my flower picker for some of the potions he can also make.

I use an addon called Fishping. You still have to sit at your machine but you dont have to stare at the monitor quite as intently. It makes a pinging noise when you get a fish hit.,

lol that is not "twitch gaming" myrk! ;p

that isn't even really gaming... i can think of pre-schooler toys with more depth to them.

It's twitch gaming when whether you are successful (and thus, whether you skill up) relies on the speed of reaction when the fish strikes your lure. I absolutely HATE fishing, and if I didn't need it for some Alchemy there's no way in hell I'd be doing it.

i guess when i think twitch gaming i think of rocket jumping off of a jump-pad, doing a 180 in midair and railgunning the person behind you out of the air then landing and pumping a few shotgun rounds in the face of the flag carrier. ;)

but yeah... clicking on that bobber works i guess ;p

After 45 min fishing last night, I was LONGING for the EQ version. At least then you didn't need to sit there staring at the screen to make any progress.

You could farm for gold instead and buy them off the AH.

This is my level 20 toon, so no money. I suppose I could farm gold with my main, but that's twinking! ;)

Both Manogan and QP are 300 fishers... I'm going to camp QP at Steamwheedle Port and hire the neighbor kids to fish up Stonescale eels. No, they aren't Chinese...

ROFL!

I wonder what it costs to hire IGN or someone to skill fishing? ;)
