[IDEA] Fishing - Biweekly event

Drammanoth

And no, not in Stranglethorn Vale, this was somewhere else... You crafters out there, wouldn't you like to get more out of fishing?

There is something mentioned about a 'Daedric Lord of Fishing' source but there is no info about it. Well, except that it 'serves Hircine'.

This idea was implemented in Summerset, as the Pyandonean set could only be found in Pyandonean Bottle when fishing in Saltwater.

Why not create a pocket realm of Hircie's Hunting Grounds where we could go fish... ahem, hunting some specific trophies, like some here. The realm would be open and accessible only Saturday and Sunday, every other weekend.

3 'daily' quests to do:
- 1st to catch a specific fish
- 2nd to catch loot worth let's say... X k gold (just like dailies in TG),
- 3rd to defeat w WB on this island / pocket realm. Loot table? Grahtwood + Malabal Tor + Greenshade...

Show fishing some love!

Good start would be to add fishing goals to daily endeavors rotation. "Catch 3 fish" etc.

That would be kind of fun, minus the world boss part.

Fishing really isn't a fun mechanic though.
I've been here since beta and I never had the courage to finish fishing...

Actually after I got into it, I found it relaxing. Got 4 master fishers, starting on some more.

Id buy a tiny fishing shack with instanced river or lake where we can catch any fish from any zone.
Id pay 200 euros for that.

This idea is exactly because fishing itself is not really entertaining, as this activity itself may be boring, monotonous - true.

Which is why you can turn off music, and play your own.

Or a lecture you 2) need to listen anyway / 1) have always wanted to listen, but *cough* never found enough time *cough*.

Only if the world boss was a giant fish.

I won't fish until I can filet multiple fish at once.

I think that could be really fun. As long as it doesn't turn out like the Shadowfen fishing event where people swarm the fishing holes and drag mobs over to fishers and just make it miserable....

Definitely up for fishing to be included in the daily endeavors.
Personally I'd also like to see the ability to change the way the fishing rod looks. At the very least be able to apply a 2-colour dye to it.

A wereshark! After all, it's Hircine's realm, and he is the Father of Lycanthropy.
