    There is a add-on that will auto fillet your fish. So when you take a break, auto fillet away.

    The problem with the addon is that it's not a bulk "fillet" like the bulk refine. And as it's filleting one fish at a time, over and over and over, you can't do another damn thing on your machine - neither in the game, nor out of it.

    I had about 20k fish from doing 4 master fishers. Filleting them took me about 18 hours total. Even with the addon

    I can't see any reason this isn't in the game now. Just bulk filet. How hard can that be when you can bulk do so many other things?

    Sounds like a fun event.
    Maybe they can add special event only fish, that are rare, for extra rewards.
    The only problem I see with this, is they'd have to add extra fishing holes or extra long fishing hole times during this whole thing.
    Otherwise, it turns into the whole Shadowfen node thing and people are going to attack each other and then the whole idea of the event is ruined.

    I doubt that since there are an abundance of fishing holes; if the New Life fishing quest doesn't cause any such problems with its very limited number of specially spawned fishing holes in only one small region of Shadowfen, I really doubt an event that would include all fishing holes in the game would be a problem.

    Maybe & hope so, I was just addressing a small concern I had with the fishing holes. In certain zones, only certain fish drop, in say ocean fish only drop in rivers and the fishing holes are in a small concentrated areas, same with foul ones.

    Quest1: "catch 5 fishes in imperial city without interruption"
    Quest2: "catch that one rare fish escaping you for months using 5 bites"

    There is a fishing quest in the New Life event. I realise it doesn’t match the OP’s specific examples but, for me, that’s enough fishing eventery.

    When I see someone filleting fish, I stand next to them and, in the chat window (/s), congratulate them every time they get a perfect roe.

    I was excited for fishing in this game I assumed it was going to have a bit more depth except fishing for achievements and perfect roe.
    It would be good if they turned it into a skill line with passives and actually made recipes to match the fish you catch like longfin pasty’s actually using longfin and you can’t catch it till level 10 give people a purpose to level it something along those lines at this stage it’s just boring and the perfect roe ain’t worth the time it takes to fish.

    There are fishing passives in the champion points system.

    2 passives that essentially aren’t useful for making fishing any more an enjoyable activity to do. I only ever fish for the roe not for the rare fish so one is useless and I don’t think 25 decrease in bite time is life changing. They may help you get the master angler achievement faster.

    Not really the passives I was talking about.

    I just think there needs to be more activity’s that are about making gold without involving combat that you can progress in.

    Just my opinion.

    I would be all for this kind of event so long as they changed some aspect of the usual fishing we do in Tamriel. Like...Catching specific fish in certain habitat's and not just generalizing them into a certain type of water so that everyone doesn't just default to the same meta fishing spot. Would be awesome to see empty parts of the world have people for once.

    A fishing event could be interesting or as an alternative to obtaining the rewards in an existing event.

    While at it...

    Fishing could be turned into its own skill line with passives that can be unlocked instead of tying up CP points. There could even be active skills for fighting. A melee range taunt that smacks the enemy with the fishing rod. A ranged taunt that yanks the enemy to the player with the fishing line. A skill that instructs combat pets to attack an enemy by tossing fish at the enemy target (would look best with the Warden's bear i.e. fetch the salmon). A skill that slows the enemy and drains their stamina by tossing fish guts at their feet. And to top off the visuals, a non-restricted skin that replaces the weapons and / or shield in both hands with a fishing pole and bucket. Non-restricted means that it matters not whether the player uses staff, dual wield, bow, two handed or sword and shield. They can have the appearance of a fishing pole and bucket but still use their weapon skills if desired.

    Maybe just add a few different Fishing-related Endeavors, like
    - catch a rare fish
    - catch N fish in zone X
    - catch a Gunny Sack
    - etc.
    and have them on a Friday, maybe even regularly like the first Friday of each month-- "Friday Fish Fry Day." :)

    I would like to see ZoS implement bulk fillleting as well. Deconstructing armor and such by bulk can be done, so go figure? However, I do know you can minimize eso while it's auto fillleting, I do it all the time. I play in full screen mode, and just press the windows key. Works great for me.
    The bulk/fillet issue at least for me is not a big issue, I always have other stuff around the house that needs done.

    I like fishing in ESO. It's best done alone, in a quiet location. Having cute pet and wild life is always a bonus:

    But I wouldn't participate in fishing event. It's no longer peaceful and calm when there are hundreds of other players nearby :o Hissmir quest during New Life festival is the preview of what the fishing event would look like. Imagine that competition near every fishing hole in Tamriel :s

    But thanks to this thread, I've sent the suggestion to allow us to filled multiple fish in one click :) This would be great!
