Best fishing template & why

[Duul al'Vath]

I find magery to be a better option.

[archaicsubrosa77]

really you could melee sea spawn, magic and missile combat is just better for clearing out landing areas and against other players at sea.

[Zane]

Archery is an option, but when I've been on the seas with my character that has gm archery, I sometimes wish he had magery to fight sea serpents.

is the fisherman that should never see shore...

90/65/70 stats could even work as you won't be engaged on all sides and pinned in as much as you would on land. This gives you plenty of firepower as a mage and speeds up archery a ton considering you are a caster.

I like this, I'm going to try it out next week. I've been wanting to explore fishing and wanted a strong character that wouldn't need assistance. (plus you could easily convert this to a tank mage if it sucked.)

Okie, so I wanna' continue workin' on my gatherer. I have previously decided that the gatherer would have the following skills:

100 Luberjacking
100 Mining
100 Fishing
100 Hiding
100 Magery
100 Meditation
100 Evaluate Intelligence

Although right now when I want to pick up the fishing part of this, I'm wondering which would be best to have, Eval Int, or Resist? I have never had a really pro fisher before, and I want to be able to handle the occasional mobs with this char alone. How dangerous are those serps? Eval to finish them off quick, or resist to have a chance of beating them at all?

[archaicsubrosa77]

Eval definately

[Safir]

Eval definately

Tnx. ;)

Hiding

Would be good if you wanted to make the UO equivelent of a spy submarine, disembark after tracking someone down if they are on land and stealth into the area to get a closer look or find a good place to mark. It would be good for finding afk seafarers,pirates, for sea serpent hunting, or keeping an eye on a residence in a relatively safe position.

My fisherman, here: Garmin is pretty much an archer/fencer dexxer with fishing instead of resisting spells.

He's never had an issue with water eles, deep sea serpents, or sea serpents.

This macro will fish in 6 spots around your boat, drop maps and mibs into separate containers, cut all shoe types into leather and drop said leather into a box as well. As soon as the fish stop biting, the boat moves.

love the macro so far but why isnt it cutting anything into leather and/or dropping anything where the macro gives the location?
