Fisheries and Freeholds- Suggestion/questions

Sathrago

With the latest news and knowing that fisheries are supposed to be one of the farmable plots you can places on a freehold, I wanted to start a thread for a few reasons.
First, to generally ask what they meant by "fish exclusive to the blueprint". Secondly, to suggest that it be a bit more interactive than that. And Thirdly, I would like to hear your thoughts on fisheries and there general impact on Fishing as a gathering profession as its the only one I can tell will have its own farm plot to "contend" with.

As for my suggestion let me explain what I mean. It would be nice if fisheries and fishing, similar to taming and animal husbandry, work in a synergistic manner. Just like how a tamer can bring back eggs and babies, it would be extremely cool if you could bring back rare or special fish to stock your fishery and produce more of or even let there be a bit of crossover with taming and let them be the plots you need for purely aquatic mount raising.

Well, thats all I have for now, it's been a while since I last posted so Ill take this moment to say hi to everyone thats been hanging here over the years.

well its gonna suck for people who want to fish and wont be able to, but it will prevent 3495734574 bots to be fishing 24/7 since you will have a limit on how many people can fish (assuming you can only fish in your freehold) and maybe people will go out there and do other stuff too.

Yep, we should be able to get a bucket, go catch a cool fish in some bumfuck nowhere and bring it back to our freehold to start breeding it there. I'm all for this.

Just as with all other professions - you can do them outside of your freehold.

I feel like fisheries should be able to produce higher quantities of normal or uncommon fish, but I think the super high end fish should remain at sea or in the wild, to maintain value and risk. You could also utilize fisheries for better baits, and maybe even synergize with animal husbandry to create water mounts that require the fisheries.

Either way, I feel like fishing deserves much more love than it normally gets in most MMOs
