Lets talk Fish Scales

Seriously? 100 scales to make a patch, Then ten patches to make a swatch, then ten swatches to make a sheet... yeah you get 50-100 per fish, but the subcominbes are really a long waste of time. I guess there's always netflix...

Make that 10 scales to make a patch. Edit not working along with the search function tonight..

/hugs stack of 102 sheets
/glares
/shout Hands off
/thinks or I will chop them off for you

I know the pain.

Make all button is your friend, and a mag to look at while I'm waiting.

Just thank God we dont have to do it the old way anymore. This seems like the speed of light in comparison.

Game mechanics that encourage afking and netflix make for compelling and fun gameplay in tyool 2018

You dont need any uncommon ingredients but you do have to spend some time at it. Its a tradeoff.

I just stood next to an NPC and skilled up begging whilst fishing. When making the items, did the same thing. Kill two birds with one stone

Lol i did the same. Was not bad at all!

I get a lot of Netflix in for sure. YAY for AFKish playing....

Its stupid and I'm trying to find a nice way to say it. Lets make people combine mats for 12 hrs. Seriously it takes longer to break them down into sheets then it does to fish them.

There is no need for the redundant sub combines here. Make it cost 4-8 fish per sheet and be done with it.

Ok so I did a little test here. What a way to spend time for very little outcome...

I have MAX fishing skill. I did the fishing part with bonus rod and the combines with the 19th anniv rod.

So you get 7 sheets out of that with about the best possible skill you can do.
Cloaks take 2 sheets
Shoulders take 1 sheet.

Now do this to try and make 10 or 20 of each for guildies/friends/ bazaar...

Way too many subcombines.....

If only there were some means to Make All combines with a single click.

The fishing itself can easily be automated without any shady programs and doesnt take long.
Then the combine time = 8 min for shoulder, 15 for cloak. Ive timed it.

I dont think that you can consistently farm any other tradeskill mats in that short of time, especially not solo.

Don't forget the end product you make, is pretty good, considering its made mainly out of fish !!!

You do know the size of a fish and therefor size of a single scale and the thickness of one...

Then compare that to a cloak.. if i need a cloak i dont want a lot of holes in it.
