Plans to raise fishing above 200?

[Xaxony]

Are there any plans to raise the skill cap on fishing above 200 in the future?

[Ngreth Thergn]

No current plans without a code change to fishing.

Is the code change a big and dangerous one like making 12 slots bag? Or just too much work?

I would like to get high enough that I only catch 15 pound fishes in Abysmal sea.

Ngreth has stated numerous times that there is no NEED to up the fishing to 300 as it's not gonna get a bunch of new recipes, and it's not considered one of the major tradeskills.

Nope not a dangerous one, but there needs to be a bunch of design decisions AND it will likely adversely affect people with 300 skill, or create a huge amount of design work.

At 200 fishing you have a 100% chance to get fish from the high table. So there is just no room for me to go. So I would either have to add a 4th table... (huge amount of work for me because there are 1700+ zones I would have to go make tables for... though some have no water... I would have to do that research while I was working... still time.) or spread it out so 300 is the new 100% from the high table (adversely affecting players) And really all I can do is make more fly's... I don't see a lot of point in it just to have another skill to give larger numbers too.

/agree

Although it is fun to see skill-ups, it is not necessary with fishing to raise it to 300.

Thanks for the answer, Ngreth. Makes perfect sense as to why you left fishing at 200, once you explained it.
