Accepted Cosmetic Rewards for High-Tier Fishing Poles (+7 to +9)

[Mr.V.]

My take​

Fishing pole in my opinion, could use some love in the department of visual progression.
Compared to other equipment, for example, pickaxes receive a new model for each tier, which makes upgrading them feel somewhat rewarding and noticeable. You can tell who put serious time in this activity and is a veteran.
Right now, fishing doesn't reward you with anything in terms of "drip".
Because of this, it could be nice to introduce similar visual rewards for high-tier fishing poles, especially for players who invest the effort to reach +7 to +9.

Proposed Solutions​

Option 1 – New Fishing Pole Skins (+7 to +9)
A more polished solution would be to add different skins or slight model changes for fishing poles starting from +7 up to +9.
The designs don’t need to be overly complex or detailed, just distinct enough to visually differentiate the higher tiers and reward players who grind for them.


Option 2 – Visual Effects (VFX) on Fishing Poles
A simpler alternative would be adding a visual effect around the fishing pole, similar to the effects already used for upgraded weapons.
For example:

• +7 could have a basic glow or spark effect
• +8 could have a stronger effect
• +9 could have a different color or more noticeable particles

This approach could be easier to implement since i am guessing that the existing weapon VFX system might already support it.

What's the purpose of this?​

Fishing is very repetitive and let's be honest, boring. Adding visual progression rewards would give players more incentive / a new goal to grind and upgrade their fishing poles. Even small cosmetic improvements can make progression feel more meaningful and give some more attention to the fishing activity.
Also, who doesn't want some drip to their gear, right?

I don't even fish no more and I consider the "new" system to be as stupid as it gets, but PRO for your suggestion - we like shiny things

They just don't give a f about fishing no more I've been waiting for the ''bonus changer for poles'' for more than 2 years now which they approved. Fishermans just take up not so much of the population so they just dont care, and poles go up to +19

Wait wait, so fishing pole +9 is not the max but +19? Is it a typo?

nope, it is +19 on official servers it is +20 but they wanted the fishing rod like other items so they downgraded by 1 tier, still idk why. Also theres a minimum +12 rod on server already. Even mine is +8 ( with 5 unsuccessful upgrades Sad)

Im +8 too but i thought +9 is the end of the road, loooooooool. What in the hell, what s the purpose of having it like in the official when this is a "classic" experience lol

rods were always been up to +20 since the beginning of metin2

Hi,

Thank you for your suggestion, we appreciate you sharing it. I’ll move this to Pending for now. As mentioned in previous threads, we’re currently prioritizing ongoing content and earlier suggestions, so we need to slow down the rate at which new suggestions are accepted. We’ll revisit this topic and provide an update once it’s been further discussed.

Warm wishes,
Essence.

Damn, i had no idea. My perspective might be too small but, if you know, why to +20? To me already reaching +9 feels crazy, you barely get any fishing points.
Given this amount of leveles, maybe it would be a good idea to have the fiishing rod skin rewards starting from +9 to 15 and 19 since you said here max lvl is 19..
