Fishing

I know fishing is not the most popular activity on wom2, but we're not getting the updates we were promised years ago.

I'm here to suggest those to be implemented on the game again and suggest a few more.

Firstly, we need this implementation after we're promised ALMOST TWO YEARS ago. If you get a graphite pole with bad enchantments but a great durability it is purely a loss, If we had bonus changers like snake promised us years ago we could've had a great implementation for fishermans. It is already pretty hard to get a graphite pole from sunken treasure chests & there isn't much fisherman so the supply is low, this way we can atleast have a better chance for greater graphite fishing poles.

Secondly, I want to suggest a new ways to earn money by fishing. Currently fishing at tier 1 and 4 is the only option to fish money-wise other than fishing at hotspots. Before the battlepass update every few months a fish was selected for battlepass missions, because of this people were making their fishing skill G-P to make money from battlepass but after they implemented the new battlepass it made tier2 and tier3 fishing pure useless, you have less catchrate because of rarer fishes at tier2 and tier3 so you'll make less money than tier1 while fishing, The only way to make money if you're not tier4 is fishing dyes for WoM Snacks((Mystery Box) which is removed from wiki for some reason) and clams. So tier2 & 3 = Less catchrate, less money. This makes casual fishermans to get bored at fishing because they can just make money only one way if you're not level90+ so I'd suggest implementing things like dyes but better which we can craft something similar to WoM snacks and Tier3 an upgraded version of that item etc. This way it'll give people a reason to fish somewhere except tier1 and tier4 that gives players a reason to raise ther Fishing skill and fish at different tiers.

Thirdly, As a player who fishes at both tier4 and tier1 and hotspots, There aren't any ways to disable IM fishing manuals, If i want to fish tier4 i lose money everywhere else because Fishing Manuals decreaces the chance to catch dyes. If i want to fish tier1 and hotspots but catch tier4 whenever i get golden fishing buff i lose money because I keep getting trash which would've been disabled if i was using IM Fishing Manual. So I'd suggest either adding a npc that we can disable the buffs of IM Fishing Manual at, or click on it from buff menu to disable buffs.

Next suggestion is, Improving the ''Chance to hook materials from water'' enchant on fishing poles, currently the loot pool is insanely trash, like we can get Fishbone at tier4, Atleast let us get Graphite pole scrap, Sunken treasure chests, Fishing Skillbooks etc. so we'll have a reason to material fish instead of just making the fishing with it a worse experience ever.

And one small suggestion is to Add kingdom colors to the hotspot announcements, the hotspots are already 10 mins this way we won't waste any time to start fishing.

Lastly it is the cosmetic visibility for fishing rod's we wan't to see our hard-work to be seen as players, others are seen by their armour, weapon etc. We fishermans only have our fishing rods.

Thanks everyone reading all the way. "Friendly neighbourhood fisherman"

Also I don't know why the "50% chance to get double fish" doesn't work on things like sunken treasure chest & Wet Fishing Skillbooks. It even works with trash you get from ''Chance to hook material from water''

I agree with all of your suggestions. Also on this topic, currently the only grilled fish with market value are yabby (being the only reason why tier 4 is profitable at all) as well as mirror carp and perch as they are required to use for battle pass quests. The quest pool regarding the use of grilled fish should be expanded for more of the tier 3 and 4 ones in order to create demand for all of them.
