That's the fishing farm, and to think that they could've come up with a better name. However, there are four fishing maps that are currently available. That's pretty much it for this part of the guide. lol =FAQ= ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1. Q: IS there a difference between baits? A: No, not really. You can catch the same fishes and whatnot. But the only thing different is how much a fish escapes from being caught. Anchovies give the best chance of catching a fish and not letting it escape. 2. Q: Is fishing profitable? A: Of course, otherwise I wouldn't be making a guide for it. 3. Q: On average, how much profit do you usually get? A: Well, for me, I buy a Rod and 30 Anchovies which costs me 3,400 golds. After using up all the baits and breaking my rod (lol innuendo), I sell everything to the NPC and make a profit of about 10k on normal runs, 7k on bad runs and up to 20k on level 1 runs. 4. Q: Will you buy me what I need? A: No. 5. Q: Will you fish for me? A: No 6. Q: When's the best time to fish? A: When you're low on money, or going AFK for 30 or so minutes. Fishing is automatic and your character keeps recasting until all the baits are used up or until your rod is broken (lol). 7: Q: What do I do with the fish?. A: As of right now, you just sell them to the NPC. But some say that you need certain fishes for a quest. You can also cook them for dishes that do things... 8. Q: Fishing is boring! A: That's why it's best to fish when you're going AFK or doing something else. 9. Q: Will you update your guide? A: Yeah, as long as more things come out for fishing, I will update it to be as accurate as I can. 10. Q: You've helped me so much, how do I repay you? A: There are several ways. If I tell you, I might get the B7hammer. lol kidding =Closing= ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Well, here is where my FAQ ends.
