When i got home i hopped on and immediately went straight to fishing i just had to try it out! So there i went to port jeuno and plunked my line into the shimmery waters hopin for a bite. Low and behold i got one! i was happy but confused. How the heck do i reel this bad boy in?! i looked at my pole wave left and right so i figured press the button in the oppisite direction that the pole goes if it went left i pressed right if it went right i press left. After a brief fight when the fishes HP reached 0 i hit the reel in button and was proud of my first catch! Quus ROFL.
on a personal level i love it. It give's more interaction rather then plunkin down your bait hoping for a bite then waiting another 7 secs to recast. A plus side to the update makes bot fishing nearly impossible till the bot programmers figure something out lol. (not that i promote bot fishing)
On a final note fishing isnt that boring anymore either ^_^
fixed fising to FISHING lol

At first it scared me, i mean scared me. SO i went to South Gustaberg and plopped my line there and caught a fish, i was like: "What do i do?" So i went and tried the noob way of doing new things: MASS BUTTON MASHING!!!!
And luckily enough i caught a fishie! Yea well i like it now and the skills go way much faster.

has the price of Moats (or Forrest carp) changed? or are they still 3.5k- 4k /stack?
so how is this done? I tried last night... first bite, I tought: "Ok, just wait for the HP to drop to 0 and reel it in..." but the HP stayed at full and the fish got away. Next bite, I think: "Maybe I hit enter to start the fish struggle and then enter again to reel it in." *Snap* Line broke. Tried again, *SNAP* line #2 broke.
Now after throwing 2 sabiki rig's down the drain (same amount of sabiki rig's I've ever lost in my entire fishing history) in a matter of 3 casts... I've come to the conclusion this system sucks until someone can explain it. It really pissed me off cause I was fishing while waiting for the ferry... when the ferry got there, it's not like I had any bait to fish with any more. I did try a minnow that I purchased from the guild on the ferry, but it didn't work at all. Not even a single bite.
Soooo... is that how you battle fish? You hit the arrow keys in adjacent to the direction the pole is flinging?

yeah yer right >< hehe here are the exact directions for PC and ps2 use straight from SE HOW TO FISH ^_^ b
It took me about 10 casts to even notice the little fish's stamina bar on the lower right side of my screen. After that I had a blast.
That night we made an LS event of fishing in Jugnar. We had a great time and are planning to schedule more fishing trips soon.

Haven't decided if I like it or not. At fishing LVL49 I have had a few long fights where I barely reeled in a --> MOAT CARP <--!! 0.o
I have not caught any of my usual Shall Shells or Bluefins in Buburimu, or Sandfish or Giant Donko in Rabao. And during last might's new moon I reeled in waaaaay more mobs in Buburimu than usual.
Cooking was my first love, and I still haven't figured out what half the foods really do now since that last update.
Fishing was my second love and I am still quite uneasy about it.
I'm thinking about taking up a craft. Any suggestions as to what it should be...remembering that since it's me they will probably change it completely in the next update? ;D

lol numps take up cloth crafting make a certain cloak >.>
What I thought was disturbing was how so many people dived right into it without even reading up on how the new fishing system even WORKED.
I loved it, though. Pulled in a stack of Moat Carps on my first day.

Ok after a few more attempts at fishing, i'm still lost /: How can i easily defeat a Moat carp, but fight and struggle with something thats 'too small' /em scratches head in confusion
regarding darkdwellers "too small" question. I guess some rules still apply with the type of rod you use as well.
