Forgotten Tales

I've been missing fishing again so figured worth throwing another idea in the pool lol.

Wat if for fishing better items u need be the lvl of item u want to catch and have a certain lvl fishing also to catch.

For example say u want to catch a 1k sword....u would need be 1k or higher and let's say for 1k gear u need at least a lvl 10 fishing skill

Or if want to catch a 2k item u need be at least 2k and have fishing skill of at least 15 (honestly don't know/think anyone has that high of fishing atm could be wrong tho)


Could be a way to implement 2k gear back and make fishing fun again....also kinda gives fishing skill a little more meaning.

NOT CONCRETE NUMBERS but could look something like this:

250-500 gear items = at least lvl 500 and fishing skill 5 or higher needed
501-750 gear/items= at least lvl 750 and fishing skill 7 or higher needed
751-1k gear/items = at least lvl 1k and fishing skill 9 or higher
1001-1500 gear/items= at least 1500 and fishing skill 12 or higher
1501-2k gear/items= at least 2k and fishing skill 15 or higher

And also any items u wouldn't want easily obtainable from fishing (say quest items or something) could just raise the lvl on them....just an idea....any thoughts?

I only have 1 problem with this idea. The amount of lag that will return to spawn map would be horrible. Lol

+1

Maybe we need a server just for the spawn map

Haha true that.....got all kinds of people always asking about 2k equip now lots of people over 2k.....figured maybe try spark the debate again lol.....never realized why people just sit at spawn and fish and don't go to like ogre map or mushies or something and grind and fish tho

Also if have max fishing skill (i think is 20 not sure tho) then u have the ability to catch +1 or +2 items of the equipment catchqble at ur player lvl

Max fishing (or indeed any) skill is 24

Ohh ok cool was wondering about that...but would be like a master fishermans perk....on a side note could be similar things for mining felling etc....like get 2-3 ore or wood every chop/mine

Getting from 23 to 24 fishing skill needs 157,770,000 fish

This will take about 5 years, if one did nothing else but fish 24/7

Is this figure factoring in for the lvl 23 fishing rate, or the possible affinity of class? A mage at 23 would achieve 24 in a much decreased time frame than 5 years, especially with a mithril rod, but it would still seem to take forever.
