| Re: Fatigue? If you really get into fishing, check out the Titanictus.com website. I haven't been fishing in a couple months so things may have changed, but this is what I know about fatigue...
There's a "soft fatigue" and a "hard fatigue". SE introduced both fatigues to combat fishing botters. Fatigue resets to zero at Japanese midnight (11am US EDT).
The "soft fatigue" kicks in after a certain amount of time (~1 hour?) and the bites will get fewer and farther apart, but they'll still be there. Zoning is what helped that. I'm not positive, but I believe that with the introduction of "hard fatigue", the soft fatigue was greatly reduced or eliminated.
"Hard fatigue" represents your maximum fishing allowance for that 24-hr RL period. The higher your fishing skill (and possibly job level), the greater your fishing allowance. Everything (including items I think) that catches on your hook adds to hard fatigue. When you reach the "hard fatigue" limit you'll know it. You won't get a bite from anything or from anywhere. You just have to wait for Japanese midnight.
In addition to the "hard fatigue" there's a maximum of 200 *fish* (not including items) that you can catch in a RL day. So even though Moat Carp add a small amount of fatigue and theoretically you could catch more than 200, 200 is still the limit. Big fish add a lot of fatigue so you catch far fewer of them in a day.
Skill-ups are extremely slow. Especially by the time you get to mid-levels. |
