1) You're ASSuming much on what rods do and do not do.
2) Again, wrong analysis on how it works.
3) Congrats! Pretty amazing since it's impossible! (Oh, and congrats to A_U_T_I_S_M for being #1 fisher atm, with a rank of 3!)

You have absolutely no understanding of how fishing works, but blast off at the mouth like you wrote the book on it.

Skilling is working absolutely perfectly, and formulas are awesome. Fishing rods do what they're intended, when used appropriately. Your flaming under the guise of "criticism" is laughable at best. They amount to little more than a blind man telling Michelango how to paint the Sistine Chapel.

This isn't combat, so don't compare apples to oranges. The functionality of the two is entirely different, including object usage.

I may or may not release the details on skilling at a future time. For now, have fun instead of frothing at the mouth. It's more productive, believe me.

Back to 1.12

So you're saying, if I hit a snag, and hit the counter, and my reel length goes up, fish's stays put, and I flip back to reeling, that that's NOT how it works?

Odd. Perhaps I'll avoid fishing until you release some details then.

Also, "Impossible"? I said I have a prof in fishing. If you check my prof, it shows. What's impossible?

And to quote my edit from previous post: "Edit: Also, the one that is heartwood, which I apparently can't use, doesn't show up red, like regular items you can't use. Would you mind fixing the coloring so that if you can't use it, we know? Thanks."'

I like that I give an opinion, you warn AND flame me. Good stuff Paul. Very respect-worthy.

You read what you want to read, nothing new here. Funny that you ignore all the rest of the content, like usual. Also hillarious that you're ASSume everything, including that *I* warned you. You never cease to give me a chuckle. Your reputation precedes you. Give me a reason to respect you, and you'll be respected. All anyone gets from you is flaming with smilies attached to the end, yet you cry when you get the same in return. Very classy

Stop spamming my topic with your absolutely useless banter. You contribute nothing to the subject.

So provided one can attain the necessary proficiency, will there be rods that can be bought and sold? I've been all over the catacombs and still have yet to see one.

Yes, any Magical or higher rods can be sold on the market.

No useless banter here, questions, and product suggestions. I will repeat them, since you ignored all of them:
1. Items we cannot use show up as "usable" (not red). Especially when purchasing a rod from the market, this is a bit misleading, not to mention a waste of inventory space.
2. If plain rods cannot be welled, is this a bug or intended, and if intended, what are we supposed to do with them?
3. Features are great and all, but if there's no instruction on how to use them, and all you do is insult anyone who even speculates on their use, then why add them?

This is not banter. And so far, you've given no real information other than "there's new features". How about a bit of information, since apparently the way that the majority of folks are using them are wrong?

Oh, and my Elm rod says it requires 10 fishing prof to use, yet I can toss it in the box and go. The one that says it requires 25 rank fishing to use doesn't let me go into fishing. Is this a bug, or is it actually usable?

If you're done with the flaming, some answers would likely be appreciated all around.

Edit:

Indeed. Single player Warlock is great fun. I was hoping fishing could add to the chains. I'm less hopeful, now, and you won't provide anything in the way of information to make it anything other than a time drain.

Check the sig!

Not a bug, and exactly why it's not red. The "skill rank required" is more of a rough suggestion, but at some overflow point, you really can't use it anymore. Think of it more like "if you use it too early, you're probably using it wrong" type of a suggestion.

Maybe you didn't read what he wrote, since is the third time now. "This isn't combat, so don't compare apples to oranges. The functionality of the two is entirely different, including object usage."

Is there a trick to fishing/cooking? Like timing the snags and flames? Or is it just luck that you click faster?

I wont be surprised if I get no answer, if there is a method. I wouldnt want to share my secret either

Thanks for any help

Could you elaborate on where you want this to go -- obviously we can not figure this out.

What are your plans for Skill Rankings / Fishing & Cooking proficiencies.

I really think information about this would be appreciated, as certain things seem kind of stupid to the eyes beholder.
