Fishing (and treasure maps!)

I can't believe I'm writing this, because I've been raging about it to my guildmates ever since "endgame fishing" was announced... but fishing is kind of fun.

There, I said it.

Also, kudos for putting meaningful loot into the treasure chests! My jaw dropped when I saw the contents of the first buried chest I dug up:
- 50k RP towards relic weapon (Rough Amethyst)
- 25k RP towards relic weapon (Shimmering Hill Emerald)
- 2xBlack Opal
- assorted Ostorial relics (purple/green/blue)

Not gonna lie, I am really pleasantly surprised. :)

    everything can be sorta fun at the first time around.. get back to me in a couple of months, when you have no legendary marks to upgrade anything and let me know how its going.

    You just have to keep an eye out while exploring the new zone. I got lucky and looked at my treasure map approximately 50 feet away from its depicted location. :wink:

    Any game / extension / module which touts "fishing" as it's STRONG point can only be nonsense and HAMSTER.
    It's a pity that so much well done work from the graphic designers get wasted...
    ...I'm still looking for some guildmate to accept that as part of a daily quest, but myself, I'll just skip that mission.

    (Nothing against fishing as a relaxing, recreational mini game or an optional profession, but as a plot relevant reaction test? With those servers and connectivity? I'm suppose a visit to the dentist will be more fun.)

    This.

    fishing + treasure maps is fun indeed...
    and the map (as in level) is very beautiful!
    thank you! :)

    I've gotten one map - and when I finally found the treasure, it consisted of 1 green ostorian relic, and a bunch of fish (green and common quality). So "Yay" for you :smile:

    Not trying to be negative, really, I find fishing to be "ok" (for the first few days anyway), but like everything else, it's wrapped around a great big rng that seems to pleasantly surprise people other than me. :smile:

    Hi Nyv :)

    So, the fishing part is not fun (for me at least). The fun part is the good stuff you get from a treasure map.
    I got a bloody Blood Ruby (see what I did there) in one. I almost reported myself for exploiting since I though it must be a glitch. This kind of loot should be in a dungeon if you ask me. But I will not complain to get it in a treasure map.

    And yes, the amount of RP we get from those maps is just so "expect a nerf" overwhelming. Although secretly, I'm hoping it will not happen. :)

    I've had fish be the contents a few times. I've also gotten a nice mix of restoration materials, RP (including a brilliant diamond!), and relic weapon RP. I'd guess fish show up about 25% of the time.

    Oh, and the 110% Kheyk is sweet, too. ;-)

    So, yeah, fishing is actually a strong point - as it works with everything else. Fishing gives mats and maps. There is incentive to do it, but you don't *have* to (you can buy the mats instead). It does reward nicely, though, overall.
