World More Fish in Llevigar Plains!

Hello.

This is a simple suggestion. I see ponds around Llevigar Plains, but no fish. I haven't really trained my crafting skills much 'till now and I thought hey, since there is oak wood and barley I may be able to train it a bit more. Unfortunately lots of the recipes require fish oil, and there aren't any fish here!

I could just go to Wynn and get some low level fish oil from there, but I thought that since there are ponds here, there might as well be some fish.

 

Good suggestion! Just a tip for you though, I wouldn’t recommend doing professions on your first play-through, as they get very, very grindy in the later levels. Like, getting 0.20% of a level per fish fished, or tree chopped, which is 500 fish/wood to level up. So if you’re leveling up your professions equally with your combat level, it would take way too long to reach max level and you might get bored. Instead, wait until you complete all the quests, dungeons, raids, etc., and then work on them along with other end-game activities. And it would be good to have some crafted gear that give you gathering bonuses. You can buy some off the market. And using Hunted Mode, which is unlocked once you complete A Hunter’s Calling (the highest level quest) you can get additional gather XP bonuses. There’s also profession XP bombs that you can take advantage of, either by buying your own or waiting for other people to throw them. They double the XP everyone on the world gets, so it would be best to level your professions when a bomb is active. There’s a discord server called Bombs Tracker where people post when bombs are thrown, or you can look on different worlds, usually a world that’s full has a bomb on it, so you can spam join the world to try to get in.

 

Hmm, thank you for the idea. I have noticed that professions get harder to level up later on, even though my highest one is just ~45 in woodcutting. I think I'll end up doing that. It will also give me a chance to explore low-level areas again.

Even so, I do feel like the profession system needs some kind of change to make it more interesting to new players. I, for one, was not really overwhelmed with it because I decided to organize my time so I could do both professions and exploring/quests. At the beginning, the time I was spending mining, fishing, cutting wood, etc. wasn't a lot - it was pretty much as much time I spent doing everything else. But now, as you mentioned, it has become more tedious, and if I keep going the way I am, I'll find myself spending more time doing professions than exploring the story and the world. Do you think a well-thought suggestion on a revamp for the system would be a good idea? I don't know if there are many similar suggestions, or if people share my opinion on the profession system deserving some kind of change - I do not have enough experience on the server to know how most people feel about this.
