i proudly support this idea. or even to mute non white ones. in effort to generate better rods.

Think mr Rick was thinking hell no

no

the problem is not the rarity of the poles but the population is so small and the trading does not occur

I would pay to see a few rips from welling fishing rods... I would be literally on the floor if someone decided to well a high lvl rod and got raped.

No.

Paul stated quite clearly back in September 2008, when fishing was released that there would be no ability to well rods. The rest of us have lived with that for the last 5 years, why should he change it for you? Also, I've done plenty of fishing with white rods. The +dura or +skill isn't really needed, so who cares about welling the rods in the first place? Some way to not lose rods during lag spikes or disconnects would be a far better add to the game.

Also, to the comment that certain levels of rods don't exist... Odd. I have rods of nearly all levels? Perhaps I'm just a freak.



I do think this has a bit of merit. Say 5 durability per magic level of the essence, so an ability to add up to a total of 60 durability max to a rod via suffusencing? Would help both make white rods tradable, and make suffusencing more worthwhile.

I like the idea of making it possible to mute rods and essences for +dura with the muting skill!



But suffusencing??? Hell no...

Rather keep it to muting only as required skill for it then if you ever want to see this in use for a rod higher than level 10 or 15!

I think the air actually is beginning to get thin for those fishermen/women who invested the time to get beyond that early region.
Its not hard to collect those rods through time, but for those people actually USING these rods its not enough to get one every now and then.
They finally manage to buy a rod with lvl 20 or whatever, lag spike boom poof and gone it is again along with the fg...

Its not that much of a hassle to get t1, t2 or t3 rods with dura and fishing isnt really tricky then yet.
But to get a lvl 20+ rod or so with some more dura is really hard, but there is no single suffucencer who could do it...
There arent that many top muters either, except Steve, Ina and and a few others, they have been active for YEARS though.
Just ask them for the endless hours and fg they had to invest to get there. And see how many essences just turn magical.

It was hard enough for the few active top fishers to get on their current level and then probably find + pay a muter to do it for them
( unless they had the time to raise their muting to a similar level, too, but there arent many like that if at all)

But you certainly cant expect people to raise suffing prof on TOP of that to get such rods then. It will take DECADES to do that, and having no rl, too.
It takes forever anyway to raise suffing if you ever did that for more than 2 or 3 levels you'll find out... not talking of the high supply you need with fish/essences.
Unless someone has the time and dedication to raise all skills, which is way slower ofc, it will cost the fg to get raw material for it, and it gets way harder
to get say lvl 10 fish and essencens than t1 fish and essences. And it gets to a point where its just pointless to invest all of that just for a rod.

Right now, one can count the few active suffers with 1 or 2 hands at the most and there are just 2 people who can barely do lvl 10 or 15 items after many years.
It will take forever for them to suff higher stuff if they ever get there at all, but thats exactly the stage for those rods the top fishers would need already right now.
It just makes the whole suggestion totally unrealistic and ineffective that way. Unless something changes with the suffing system itself in general, this is simply impossible!

Or suffuse instead
since you're using the essences there aswell
and you would actually have to lvl that shit up anyway!

You want a rod. Catacombs alot thats the only way. I think muting them would be dumb as would be welling them. Lag is part of every game if you dont wanna lose your rod to lag then DONT FISH its that simple because you ARE GOING TO LAG. It's inevitable that you will and nothing you can do to stop it.

I don't understand why welling will be bad for the game, the number of rods will be the same, just they'll last a little longer and slashers will be able to sell them... everybody wins.
The change will affect all fishermens ... the ones from the top will benefit aswell.. more rods on market and the ones from bellow will be able to fish more
