Why is this skill sooo hard to raise it seems like I have been macroing for days and its only at 64.3%. is this just a generally hard skill to raise or whats up? any advice will be very much welcomed and appreciated =)

After hitting 60 fishing did you switch (or have you been) fishing in deep water? If you are not in deep water by this point then you wont gain after 60ish. It does take a while to gain GM fishing but you shouldn't really slow down until in the 90's.

Best of luck!

Thanks for the advice I was getting 1.something now I have gotten 2.0 in past few hours. I just needed to earn the cash I guess for a boat =P. << Newb on the server hehe.

Hi newb, yep seen you around in Moonglow. You wont make money needed for a boat by fishing mate, at least not low skill level fishing. Grab your sword or spell book and start monster bashing to rake in the cash for the boat. or Make a new toon to do it and let him fund your fishing expeditions

Don't underestimate how much money you can make selling the shoes you fish up to the general shop...

true I made about 3-4k from 1%-60 on shoes boots and thigh boots. if I would of continued for a couple more days I would of been able to buy a ship but luckly I was doing other stuff and made alittle coin to grab one =D.

Its almost surprising how lucrative fishing can be to be honest. Not to mention, I think you can get Lord title by killing serpents alone.

welp I hit the invisible wall of 93.2 where I hear patients is a virtue... just how much patients is required to break thru or is every point from this point on going to be hell? I have had it going for a night and a few hours today (took some time to make some coin for the ole home fund) and it has been stuck there =\ anyone who did this please lemme know how patient I need to be (in like time) to get past this hump or hump(s).

thanks in advance to any and all,

*edit* also is it possible to gain with a full backpack?

a watched pot never boils my friend...Just keep fishing and stop worrying about when its going to end If you absolutely hate doing it so much you just want to gm, you're probably wasting your time!

Please keep us updated on progress please I would like to know how far you can get on land.

I was under the impression that you could GM it from land. The only difference that I understood from shallow and deep water was the fishing prospects of fishing up a deep sea serpent for S.O.S's and so forth.

I will give it a try tonight when I go to bed (would beat trying to macro in deep seas =P). I will report if I get any gains (im currently 94ish fishing)
