Quest Details: Fishing
Text: Fishing Made Easy

Tackle Master tells you, "You need three things to be a good fisherman."
Tackle Master tells you, "First, you need a fishing pole. I can make one for you, but I'll need a Golem Jo or a Wood Golem Heart to assemble it. I remember my first fishing pole, it was just a stick with some string. I couldn't catch a cold with that thing."
Tackle Master tells you, "Second, you need a fishing license. I sell licenses for a C note, allowing you to fish for a whole day."
Tackle Master tells you, "And last, you need patience. Just enjoy the peace that fishing brings and talk to your fellow fisherman, but don't believe all their fish stories, heh."

Braxtynn bint Baux of MT reports:

Hiyas Maggie - I love your site and appreciate all the hard work that you must put into it. :)

Well...........last night the servers came up earlier than planned and I heard a rumor about fishing. I ran to my favorite water spot and found a hut there with a Tackle Master in it. He can craft fishing poles out of Wood Golem Hearts or Golem Jo's. Joy upon joy I had one on me. :) To fish you need a pole and a one day fishing license. The fishing license is sold at the same hut for a C note.

After fishing about fifteen minutes I had about 30 minnows, 4 guppies, several rusted weapons, and a couple pieces of cheap jewelry. My fishing skill was 4 and the other fishermen and women thought that your skill was based on how many guppies you caught. It seems true in my case and all of their cases so far.

There are a few bugs.............such as hooking other fishermen and women (roleplay only), and mispelling of some things (ie you throw your fishing hole in the water....... ). I think it should be pole. I broke my line once..............but it seemed to fix itself in just a few seconds. I love these new fishing poles. :) Someone said they were going to take their fish to be mounted....................and that they put a minnow up on a hook in their house. I don't know if the crafters can mount fish, or if the minnows, etc are house hookable or not.

So...................to quit rambling so that others can come and fish too, I will give out the secret directions to my fishing spot and the Tackle Master.

Items Needed Wood Golem Heart or Golem Jo, C Note that can be bought from the Mage in town, Patience...........lots of patience.

Rusted Weapons
The Russian of SC reports that Rusted Weapons can be salvaged: "While fishing, I noticed that the rusted weapons have workmanship to them. I got a bunch went back to my house and salvaged them. This is what happens, Rusted Maces gives you Iron (work 6), Rusted Swords gives you Steel (work 6), and so on. The weapons only give bags of brown (no use), purple (armor) and red I think."
