Make Fishing a Secondary (With Advanced Fishing Primary)

[finegamingconnoisseur]

As per the title. I was going to try out fishing but barely have any primary skill points left since they are all dumped into skills I need for my build.

Just like we have Cooking as a secondary skill with Advanced Cooking as a primary (if I'm not mistaken), I think it would make it far less painful to change Fishing into secondary and nested underneath it is Advanced Fishing as a primary which would allow them to fish up better stuff.

That way, everyone can try out fishing and if they like it then they can go deeper into it. Rather than lock the entire profession out from all those who want to try it out, but don't have the primary skill points to spare.

Let everyone be able to do basic fishing, but leave the harder stuff to the professionals.

I dunno if I agree. You have no points you can take out? I don't want this to turn into BDO where there are like 1000 people standing side by side fishing.

Maybe they could make it so you could do some really minor fishing with just fishing unlocked or low level? I also think cooking/cooking tools secondary is lame being that cooking is so shallow, you can actually be a pretty good money making cook with those skills.

They still need relevant clade gifts for a lot of things, fishing would be a good one.

I think if basic fishing were to be tweaked properly so that it only allows you to fish up common catch, the net effect would probably still be mainly the people who are really into advanced fishing doing most of the fishing. While those who are just casual fishers will probably play with it every now and then. But at least they will get to enjoy it, without it becoming so ubiquitous that it loses its value.

The point really is to open up the profession so that more players can experience it at a basic level without feeling like you have to be gimped at the skill to do so. It feels like one of those activities that could add more enjoyment to the game, yet unlike Riding and Cooking it straight up demands primary points just to be unlocked.

Dont need fishing skill to still get every type of fish and do everything else a person with out the skill can do. It just increases the chances for better fish.
