Mainly, I'm bring this up to discuss the fact that I'm centless after paying for a Distance Rod Plus. I'm glad I bought it because I was questing for it. A question though, will I now be able to sell the older, normal distance rod that I have? Or will the distance rod plus not work if I do that?

Otherwise, just a bit of discussion:

1) Bait degradation
2) Filtering
3) You love for fishing
4) Got questions? I'll do my best to answer them...

Congrats on completing your quest. ^^

I fish here and there, mostly becuase it usually doesn't load for me.
Since I rarely fish, I only buy the F baits. ^^ I also heard somewhere that F baits act like A bait for the first two games of a day~ I don't know whether that's true, becuase I don't want to waste my gold on grade A bait. xD
It also helps that I want the trash anyway. <.< >.>
As for filtering~ I still haven't fished enough to get the basic patterns down. Just when I think I'm on a roll, I always guess wrong. =P I guess I just can't get the overall pattern by fishing once or twice every couple weeks...

To understand where you're coming from.... Did you upgrade your rod, or buy a new one?
As I understood it, upgrading your rod to a plus changed the rod you had. This wouldn't leave you with two rods... You also shouldn't need a normal rod for the plus version to work...
If you do have an extra distance rod, and don't have any use for it, you can sell it. ^^

Edit: Nevermind... I just took a look at the shop, I think it does work differently now...
You shouldn't need the older one, for your plus to work. It just doesn't seem like how Gaia works. Though I can't be 100% sure of my last statement. ^^;;

Yep, that would be bait degredation. I can't find the post that I read it all in but there used to be one. It pretty much said that if you let your bait 'reset' (which means waiting a period of about 12 hours) that you first 2 F baits will act as A baits and than your next three D bait will act as A baits. This is all so that you save money on bait.

Now, what I want to know is whether or not A bait degrades into F bait or if the degredation cycle stops when everything is degraded to their own normal class.

That happens to me too but for the most part I've gotten pretty good at it. It's mostly only difficult in Bass'ken Lake. It's very difficult to differentiate between a guppy and garbage. Lately, I'm starting to think that they actually some how changed the patterns of garbage because I used to be quite a bit better at it.

Yeah, I had the old distance rod and I just upgraded it today. The weird thing about it though is that I still have the old distance rod sitting in my equiptment. As though they are two seperate items. I want to chance selling the older one but not at the price of loosing my new one. So I think it's kind of risky.

Well let's see.

To fish, you need these items:

1 fishing rod (start out with the basic plain, 'fishing rod')
1 bait (baits vary: F, D or A. Best to start with F)

Do you have all those things? Or are you having actual computer problems where the fishing screen won't load or something like that? smile

Yes, I read that in some post too... but it was a long time ago. ^^;;
I've heard people complaining about their A baits and giving them more trash after a while... but I can't speak on it from personal experience. I really don't know the answer there. =P

I like Bass'ken because there are large intervals between my fishing games and I get out of practice quickly. ^^ I find the red guppy to be the hardest to judge because I swear they have many different patterns. =P
The only other place I really fish at is the port. It's very easy to tell the trash apart from the fish there. xD I easy catch buckets of trash. ^^ I've had many other people ask me if I'm really that bad that all I can catch is trash. ^^;;

I really don't think you need both rods. But then again, I'd hate to be the thing that makes you lose gold and have to rebuy something. ^^;;

This thread has pictures and tells you exactly what type of and how many fish you need. [x]

Naw, you didn't write too much! smile I just like to break things up so I can organize how I reply. sweatdrop I also think it looks neat.

I enjoy Bass'ken and the port too. I like Bass'ken because I'm questing for a striper helm (actually, all three). I like the port because it's challenging and fun. I have a couple of trout but I haven't decided whether or not I want to quest for those items or not.
As for the Durem Recreation Center... I almost hate fishing there. I have never caught anything there and it gets very frustrating. I should try again soon though. smile

I still haven't had time to check what would happen.... I probably won't get the chance to really investigate the matter until Saturday. smile We'll see what happens, right?

That reply with the link to the new fishing items was really handy, by the way! I have it bookmarked now. smile

Ooo~ striper helms make interesting outfits. ^^ Good luck to you.
I like the rainbow helms, but they'd be hard to match to everyday items, so I'm not sure whether I'll get those either. ~
I've only tried fishing at Durem once back when I was new to fishing. I still remember the loss of 25g because I couldn't catch anything. I won't be going back to Durem for a long time~ xD
I hope you catch some fish the next time you try Durem. =] Those pebbos make some nice items. ^^

^^ I hope all goes well~

I see it going places because that user already has a stickied fish help guide.
This thread already has models for each of the items. ^^ [x]

Awesome! I was looking for that thread! Thanks a lot.

Yesturday, I fished in the Durem Recreational Facility for the first time in a while and I actually caught fish. It was really exciting. I love my distance rod plus.

On another note. Who here has heard of the angelic rod? I'm very interested in that but knowing me, I wouldn't have the opportunity to get it. It would probably be too expensive. Let's hope it's a donation item, shall we?

Congrats on conquering Durem. =D

Actually many people know of the angelic rod~ info about it was leaked even before the items were leaked with the new profile system.
At the moment~ I can't think of what the official rumors are, but I'm pretty sure that it won't be released as a donation item. ^^

It might come with the famed quest system~ but again, I think someone else will have to tuck in and give info on the official rumor. x]

What is this 'famed quest system' exactly? Are there rumors about that too? It sounds pretty interesting... and it sounds like it might give everyone a pretty equal chance at getting certain items.

XD You'll have to excuse me~ I've been a little loopy lately. =P I mean, in regards to using the words "famed quest system"... among other things. xD

The quest system should allow all users a chance to obtain old donation items. This is a rumor as the admins once said that they were considering this. The older the item, the longer it will take. For example, questing for a halo would take around four years or so to complete. =P
Two items that we can expect to get from the quest system are the angelic and demonic backwings. ^^

No one really knows the exact process of how you will go about your quest or when the system will arrive. -__-;;
