LOL apparently you don't push enter after making a subject title!

Anyhow, 2 casts after my last post -> a trout, then a salmon I got another .1 skill, that is .2 in 4 casts....throw your gear out and try again. LMAO

Well, oddly, I am basically the same as you: Lvl 14.0 fishing with +4 for fishing gear. I just came to East Ronfaure from Selbina to fish for Salmon with my Halcyon rod and a Sinking minnow lure (the fly lure was sold out). I cast twice, got a salmon on the first cast and a trout on the second...also got a .1 skill-up on the trout (w00t!) Guess you just were having a stretch of bad luck :(

@18, skilling up normally with Composite or Halycon/fly or minnow combo

The skill people are getting is based somewhat off the durability of the rod they're using.

Composite Rod is highly durable, so there's much less of a difficulty rating. Carbon Rod is a bit less durable, so while catching fish higher than your current skill level, there's more risk involved with the chance of your rod breaking. Think of it like using crystals on certain days for crafting...if you use a Water Crystal on Lightningsday there's a good chance you'll fail, but also a good chance you'll get a skillup. ^^

Now a while back I heard it went Composite Rod > Carbon Rod > Hume Rod. Because of this I decided to use the Hume Rod and just rick it a bit for skillups. I Am getting a lot of bites unless it's like 50% moon or Lightningsday and skillups isn't too bad, fairly random though. I got maybe 0.4 the 1st hour i did it but then 1.6 the 2nd hour (no zoning btw).

could someone please just say how much they sell for please thanks

i just got 18 "You didn't catch anything." using a Halycon Rod and trout balls/fly lure in a ROW

it didn't matter if i switched bait i would still get the message...and it was weird cause i've been fishing out in east ron for a little less than an hour and BAM out of nowhere i can't catch anything at all now.

6 shining trout
1 gold carp
6 tricolored carp
11 cheval salmon

i don't know where this massive fish shortage came from....its 31% wanning crescent earth day 4:10

i zoned back to sandy and then come out again and i'm still recieving these messages >.<



edit: i did some info on fishing...and it turns out i'm fatigued...it explains why i can't catch anything anymore, earlier today i was pulling moats in windy (161 to be exact) so with these fish its around 180ish fish i've caught all day)

sucks i can't fish all day...but its good cause bots can't either!

ive been sitting here fishin with carbon rod and fly lure from lvl 11 got up to 13 np but now i cant get any exp from these except wen i catch shining trout probly just a quincedence but gar its making me mad haha

Im using a Glass Rod to catch these and they are biting like crazy.

This fish is pure sport its the Voodoo fish of all fish fer lvl 10-20 it will give mad skill ups with carbon

Finaly got my skill to level 12!! But is this fish supposed to level me? I sat at Chevel for 4 hours and barely got .2 off of fishing these things and I got a good fat stack of the salmon and shining trout... Are you guys sure this is the one to be fishing?
