Fishing pole questions

Is it possible to craft a pole with nightsite?
@Mesanna any chance of ever allowing fishing poles to be imbued or targets for transmoging?
#1
Scrolls work with 0 skill.  Or use nocturn earrings.

I would like nightsight on all my weapons for free.

UO is not always cookie cutter.  Do you choose Nocturn or luck earrings.  That's something that makes it challenging.  Not just copy my build.

Answer to crafting with Nightsight is use the wood that gives the property you want.  I assume the pole is Wood so look at the wood choices.

Unfortunately none are night sight.

Did I not show you what you can craft on wooden items?

Be an ELF problem solved.

Mine is elf with goblin pole.  And ring.
#6
Then you already have night site so what is the problem
#7
A choice I made. UO does not last 25 plus years as a cookie cutter game.  Other than my mage, I am always looking for upgrades from playing. Not as easy button freebies 

Night sight boots from the other thread would be fitting.

Thank you for all the answers I am well versed in the many ways of adding nightsight i just wondered if it was one of the random mods when crafting. @Mesanna how about the question on allowing us to imbue or use them as transmog targets?

A few of us pushed for the ability to imbue many years ago. The answer was no because they're not technically a weapon with any skill attached to use it. I suspect it would be far too much work to hunt the original code to change. 

Maybe, a new version of a fishing pole recipe could be introduced in one of these dungeon events that could be imbued?

Aye that's why I suggested the transmog option!

Bladed, barbed and pointed fishing pole for sword, mace and fencing...

Understood, but beginning code and runic rolls would still have to be changed to allow for it.

Seems it would be easier to just make a new pole with attached weapon skills (besides the unlisted wrestling) that would provide for both your wishes.

Fishing poles can be runic crafted, and I've just spent a while on Test Center playing with the 30k charge yew dovetail saw, and while I did get some 'nice to have' results, none had night sight. (if anyone wants to see what came out they're stacked  up in Royal City bank)

Well just stretch out the new wand a little bit and we're good to go  ;)

I'll be honest, I have thought that Night Sight would be a pretty convenient "won't OP an item" property on some random pieces for Gargoyles. For example - if the high end reward in the next dynamic was essentially like the Garg Balron Chest piece but had Night Sight on it as well. 

Generally speaking, to me at least, it's a property that won't make a piece "too good" while also not ruining the piece if it was on there, especially for my Gargoyle who would absolutely wear the nocturnal earrings if they didn't require to take up a functional armor slot. I understand the argument about the sandals but I think given that Gargs have 1 less item slot than all other races, they shouldn't have to make the choice between the NS sandals or like Boots of escaping.

To me Night Sight shouldn't be a property you have an ultimatum for but based on some of the responses I'm seeing maybe it's more OP of a property than I thought it would be lol

I want to see an artifact Fishing Pole version of the Swords of Prosperity. The Fishing Pole of Prosperity, SC (no Neg)/-0 Mage Wep/200 Luck. Make it a new high end reward for the Fishmonger quests.

The Swords of Prosperity are still in my Tamer's Luck Suit. Less total Luck than a 190 Wep+190 Shield, but it has the -0 Mage Wep which has saved my Tamer's ass so many times it can't be counted. They've been useful for 17 years.
#24
I love the swords on my bards!

As for night sight, I think there are likely enough other alternatives (jewelry, earrings, boots, cloaks, scrolls, and potions) that developers time is better spent elsewhere.

A fishing pole that is also a light source with some mods would sure be neat for a new reward.

fishing poles that attach onto the side of the boat so when you cast you cast like eight times. Big nets to trawl through the ocean with ...

Or a new belt that has a Lantern attached to it that provides light.

If making it a weapon allows imbuing or transmogging I'm all for it !!

Fishing and hunting are the same, so why not. 

Axes can be used for lumberjacking.
Bladed can be used for skinning and making kindle.

You ever been hit with fishing pole it's very whip like  ;)
#33
So if you did have night sight on a fishing pole then what happens when you drop your pole and pick up your weapon to fight a monster, what you will want night sight on you wep now I suppose.  Could we get balanced added so we can chug pots too.
#34
I like the idea about the light, but they could make cannon spots on the ship to be able to place lanterns or other housing items on the space, instead of just cannons.

Exactly i should be able to imbue whatever mods i like...

In the real world, I read that lights do attract fishes... perhaps an idea for future High Seas.

The most power lights can attract all three - Corgul, Charybdis, and Osiredon with a single charge. Make sure the bank has enough for insurance coverage!
#37
Would be a very good add to the black market 

sc-0 
luck 220 
dc 5
stg 5
etc.

Legendary fishing rod, engraved with ancient inscriptions, night sight, fishing luck, and recovered as a tooth pick from osiredon corpse.
