Equiping Fishing Equipment.


lavirylime

Recommended Posts

We can equip pickaxes and hatchets but we can't equip fishing rods.

 

 

 

Back in RS1 we had 30 item slots. For riverfishing, we would use 1 slot for feathers and 1 slot for the fly-fishing rod (or swap with bait/regular fish rod). 30-2=28, we can hold up to 28 fish before we go back to bank. For lobbying or harpooning, we spend 1 slot on the coins (Karamja passage, this is from the POV of a freeworlder) and 1 slot on the harpoon or cage.

 

 

 

It's changed quite a bit now. We only have 28 max item slots and after the 2 taken up with equipment, we only have 26 slots available for the fish. Meanwhile, mining and woodcutting had 29 before and 28 now. Seems a bit unfair, hm?

 

 

 

The proposed solution would be to be able to equip fishing rods and all the other equipment. They would have no attack bonuses at all (maybe +10 stab and +0 str for the harpoon, but that's probably as far as it'll go) and take up 1 hand. Lobster cages and small fishing nets will take up 2 hand. This way the people who fish can get 1 more fish in per run and over time, that is a lot of fish.

 

 

 

That is all.

good idea, i have tossed the idea round a few times, namely with the hammer for smithing and lobster pot for fishing. 1 slot doesn't seem like much, but if you make like 100 trips, thats 100 things you miss out on. And plus you can equip pick axes? why not hammers? lobster pots or fishing rods or harpoons?

I have thought this before, but wouldnt carrying a lob pot around look wierd?

 

No, the sprite would be similar to carrying a rubber chicken. Except it's a box, not a rubber chicken.

 

 

 

feathers and bait in the arrow slot pl0x

 

That works too :D

Absolutely. We should also be able to weild our tinderboxes in our sheild slot, our knives for fletching (should just be daggers, and then cut as an option), carry farming equipment, and instead of weilding hammers for smithing, become capable of using warhammers for joinery. Despite the examine description.

 

 

 

This would allow both more creativeness in custom clothing designs, but make skills more efficient and interesting. Lobby pots should be sheilds, though. They're more sheild like.

 

 

 

And we should be allowed to weild frog tokens as sheilds. Thats a bit off topic, but it'd be cool.

I agree. I really love that idea. At the moment I'm fishing in the Fishing Guild and after a while the extra slot really piles up: more fish, more xp, faster levels, but not too fast. Great idea! I fully support it!

ive been thinkin bout this fer a long time now[pro fisher :D ] so yeha i was wonderin wen they were gonna do tha cuz everythin else like minen and wcing u can equipped..but yeha the feathers/bait should be in tha arrows slot..and i think u shouldnt get attk,str, or def bonuses fer it cuz u jus shouldnt lol

 

 

 

bad part is itll kind look funny walkin down tha streets of verrok or fally wit a lob cage or net, holdin it wit 2 hands[as u said]. And attkin wit those 2 things...not very..normal lol

 

 

 

overall its a great idea, jus gotta figure out those other uh..problems lol

Incase you forgot, back in rsc we needed to click for every single fish everytime we caught one fish we need to rightclick - cage/harpoon/bait/lure again before we could catch another. I think even though you have 2 slots less then in rsc you are still better of and most likely even fishing the fishes faster on the long term.

Before they introduced the multiple pickaxes (the update with the rune, addy, mith, etc. pick), we broke our mouse to obtain ore too.

fishing equipment isnt supposed to be equippable.at best, it should do the same as a rubber chicken against full dragon armor with crystal shield.
