Essentially re-skins of the current one, being ornate or simplistic. Either sold in the crown store or unlocked from say the Master Angler Achievement.

    Um, please explain 'cause I'm not sure what you are talking about.
    Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
    Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
    Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
    Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.
    ***
    Order Draconis - well c'mon there has to be some explanation for all those dragon tattoos.
    House of Dibella - If you have ever seen or read "Memoirs of a Geisha" that's just the beginning...
    Nibenay Valley Chapterhouse - Where now stands only desolate ground and a dolmen there once was a thriving community supporting one of the major chapterhouses of the Order Draconis

    As long as there is no addon that does the fishing for me I will not bother with it. Fishing in MMOs is the biggest waste of time ever known to humanity.

    Channeling the April Fools patch notes, @Avran_Sylt?
    Fishing
    • Introduced new, varied fishing rods, ranging from the simple Birch Rod to the Whaling Harpoon. Using the correct rod with the correct bait at the correct fishing hole may significantly increase your chance to catch rare fish.
    • Rare fish spawns, such as the Astral Narwhal, are now hostile when they spot a player with equipped bait.
    • We’ve introduced four new categories of bait:
      • Crustaceans
      • Linnorms
      • Cheese Balls
      • Bosmer
    • Known Issue: Players hooking Dwemer Submersibles will unfortunately be dragged into slaughterfish-infested waters and unable to swim to safety.

    Please, I am still at a loss to this day how we actually pull fish out the water the way we do as it is (Anyone that has actually pulled something bigger than say 15lbs will know what I mean) We need some good designs. Not talking reels and whatnot but a stick and thread isn't right for pulling sharks especially.. they weight a firkin ton not having normal bones. It's just science people!

    IMO dev time would be much better spent bringing dynamite fishing to the game.

    A flash, a BANG, a big spray of water, and you're pulling fish out of the trees.

    Much more fun than just standing there for hours watching a stick (decorated or otherwise).

    Huh, never saw that before. Besides being dragged under by a dwemer submarine, and using bosmer as bait lol, that's almost the exact same idea my friend and I came up with for fishing a while back.

    There's just so much they could do with fishing, and that post shows they know it.

    The bamboo fishing rod: change its appearance by selecting the collectible in the collectible menu. like you do with horses. That's it. nothing extra added, just swapping a model, keeping all the current animations.

    Vanity. Same reason people want to be able to change the appearance of armor.

    Not sure if any of you played FFXI but the fishing was very in depth, rewarding, and very profitable. Although very complex and not really a fit for this game, I think ESO could do more by making it a skill line S well as diversifying what we can fish to allow for profit if we spend enough time on it.

    Damn, I thought that's what OP meant. I was about to ask where you get the normal one for housing. (I have the rack that came out from the Luxury Vendor months ago, but I'd like a few rods as well.) But I guess that's not actually a thing. (Unless it is, then someone please let me know.)
