You are welcome. I appreciate all the comments and questions. Often a good question means that the guide was useful to some of the slashers. That was the whole point of it after all :hail:
Since I really do appreciate the feedback I'm planning to do the cooking guide this evening. If you ask who the heck would need a cooking guide then just wait a little. There's something interesting I have discovered about cooking too.

If you fish and cook, and want your cooking progress to keep the pace with fishing you may want to read it too ;)


Can't wait to read your cooking guide and see what you've discovered! Do you do suffusencing too?

Omg. Do not expect to fall from your chair but it is nice and it is working especially for guys like you who cook your own fish and in HC where you cannot buy them from outside sources.

I'm a little sluggish on that last one. Starting with cods finally so I'm gonna push it faster now. I want my glyph/mute/suff keep more or less together.

I've just been getting back into fishing/cooking after a few years off. Started strong when they were a new thing, so my cooking lagged a bit behind. I'm at the point right now where I can cook trout but catch up to salmon. All the new stuff I came back to like mobile slashing and having minimum life amounts on fish have been great as well as not having to worry about monsters spawning in the pond, but disconnects and lag scare me more than ever.

Are rods with no durability any use or are they trash at all levels?

to me they are great at BP to BP+1 to catch really, really fast and they are cheap - again my favorite quote from the movie 'Big Lebowski': It's just like my own opinion man :rofl:

if I want to combine fast catching with expo progress I can choose:
1 day I catch fast to get some fish, some to sell, some to self
the other day I choose to progress more and I can use them to toy with fish like I've mentioned in the cooking guide; these rods are cheap and do their job perfectly in that case

exactly


just to ask again as you missed one, is there any use of the loaner rod?
the rod which you use if you keep the rod area blank and fish "rodless"
It allows you to fish fast, but the success rate is terrible, 30-50% even with perfect clicking. How does it differ to say a rod with no stats? Obviously it's bonus is there's no risk, as it doesnt matter if it breaks.


Cheers for the answer earlier, very helpful, apparently i'm fishing wrong which is good, hopefully more success chance and speed with your method. Will let you know how i get on!

glad it was helpfull
a clean rod is 100 thousand times better than no rod; Clean rods are cheap and/or easy to self find. You can try to catch without a rod only flvl = plvl and as you said - the success rate sucks, so I wouldn't recommend wasting so much time.

LMK about the progress; wishing only fat ones :thumbsup:

Nice little guide:

Do you prefer fishing from computer or from phone?

Also, do you find fishing in town well worse than catacomb well?


Is this a thing and I am not seeing it?

Thanks :)
