Ok, so I GM'd fishing like you kept saying I should. Seems really boring and all I get is fish. Why is this cool bruh?
Telling me I suck at something boring isn't the best insult. Don't you have like 90 fishermen? You boring breh.
You can fish up sea monsters which can drop mibs, nets tiny chance of plat i believe You can fish up kraken which can drop mibs, nets, plat, You can fish up a shipwrecked kraken which drops an ancient sos which takes you to an awesome instance (4 different types) where you can get mad loots and rarez. Using nets can also fish up all of the above (sometimes together) and a haunted pirate ship. In short, fishing is awesomesauce cool bruh
Damnit Wise, don't you mess up my Faber trolling with logic and facts! Right after this post I fished up a deep sea serpent that dropped a special fishing net. I used it and fished up another deep sea serpent and two regular sea serpents. My reward for killing them...158 gold. Da fuq?
You have discovered the small caveat of fishing: do something else while you're sailing the sea of cheese. In other words, watch a movie, read a book, hold a chat conversation on IRC, etc. I try to multi-task while fishing because it sometimes takes a while to fish up cool shit. Because I have to grade assignments and essays, I use fishing as a way to provide my mind with occasional distraction and thereby feel like I'm doing more than just improving the future minds of our species (because that's totally boring) with conscientious feedback on their thoughts and presentation of those thoughts. Bottom line, fishing is something to do while only partially paying attention--to avoid afk gumps--and not something to do while wanting to devote your full time and attention to the game. There is one truth though that you are mistakenly in doubt about: fishing CAN make you a shitload of money relative to the time and attention spent performing the task. Once you fish up your first aMIB or special hued fishing net, you will be hooked (pun intended). #defeatwithlogic #quitcrying #patienceisavirtueexceptforhuzke
