PraetorDei Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 The way this would work is similar to the "auto respond" if you are attacked. It would apply when fishing. If you are fishing in a spot where you can catch either of two types of fish (e.g. trout or salmon, swordfish or tuna) you select "throw back trout" or "throw back tuna". So if you are fishing for swordfish for example, every time you catch a tuna your character would throw the fish back -- automatically. You would get zero XP for fishing for this fish. So this approach would COST you XP compared to keeping and dropping it. So why would anyone want to cost themselves XP? Well if you hate clicking to drop more than you would dislike giving up the XP, this way you could just fill up your inventory with swordfish alone. Assuming you keep dropping all your tuna this would cost you probably about 1000 XP for each inventory (well eachF2P inventory) -- plus it would cost you the opportunity to advance cooking skill by cooking those tuna before dropping them. So hey it might cost you 2K XP per inventory load. On the plus side, while you would skill more slowly, it would be more convenient. No click drop click drop etc. Thoughts?

12pure34 Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Well.. less experience. Slower experience AND the loss of a product. (aka cash). The only viable option would ofcourse be tuna / swordfish. There isn't another option where this is useful. Don't say flyfishing, because this is mostly used for EXP! So.. nahhh don't see this happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bladewing Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 If you took away the XP, it'd never be used.If you still gave XP, it would make powerfishing much easier. Probably not, and I personally don't approve. How to Chin Nechyraels for fast XP and profit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youmu Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Maybe give the option to throw away the fish or not? Oh and when you throw away the fish, you should get half exp for it, not zero. You fished the fish, you should get at least some exp for it.

Jeda45 Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Just say that you're not catching the type of fish at all that this idea says you're "throwing back" and it makes sense and has no real problems. Otherwise, how does throwing it back make you forget how you caught it? It only would apply for harpoons with my idea, though. If you jump into a river in Paris, you're insane. If you jump into a river in Egypt, you're in denial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PraetorDei Posted March 6, 2010 Author Share Posted March 6, 2010 just bank it, it's 2 clicks away??? bank your fish, takes an extra 2 sec per inventSorry I am not getting this one. What do you mean? If I am fishing and my inventory fills up I can cook them, dump them, or run them to the nearest bank or depository. What is this "two clicks away" you speak of?

What is this "two clicks away" you speak of? 2 clicks would be slight exaggeration perhaps, but fishing at shilo or catherby banking is very very quick [seconds] - and you get to keep your fish if you threw them back, and didnt get any exp for thrown fish - you'd most like end up with less exp / hour than if you were to bank and receive ALL your exp 'Rock Hard' boss pure - 60/60 Attack | 99/99 Range | 1/1 Defence | 44/44 Prayer | 99/99 Strength | 99/99 Mage - level 79 combat EOC ## '07 Server ## "Best Runescape update ever: Removing 6 years of updates."

Zaaps1 Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Ok, but what's the point of this? I don't see any other than being too lazy to drop the fish. ~It's Super Effective!

PraetorDei Posted March 7, 2010 Author Share Posted March 7, 2010 Ok, but what's the point of this? I don't see any other than being too lazy to drop the fish.Two reasons.1st, they never enter my inventory, they are just thrown back right away.2nd, they reenter the pool of available fish to be caught for other players. If I take them and drop them they don't have a chance to catch them. So it is a convenience to me (not dealing with fish I don't want) and a convenience to them -- they get to catch the fish I don't want and they get the experience.

Delita125 Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 I like the idea, because sometimes when I go to Karamja killing lesser demons, I would rather fill my inventory with swordies quick instead of waiting more time to get more exp. You can save some worthy minutes on that, considering that you might burn some and want to get some more, etc. I aprove it. /\ /\ /\|| || ||Limit line of the post.No need to read this.
