Fishing skill weapons

Fishing folks could use some weapons/fishing tools
A. If course a fishing pole with a two tile range
B. Trident 
C. Bow mount harpoon 

Slayer type for serpents and elements the horselord about perfect but as a pole or trident 

Or at least have a -0 Mage Wep/SC Fishing Pole. Maybe have a "Fishing Pole of Prosperity" with the stats of the Swords of Prosperity, as a new high-end Fishmonger reward.

That is not a MAGE WEP, it has no skill or damage.

It's a fishing pole. They don't do damage. So they don't need a skill. But you can cast a spell and it don't fly out your hand

Whip like damage and type would vary

They can be attacked easily by melee, archery or spell. Maybe they can add trident or harpoon with inherent, new slayer property called "sea slayer" aka slayer for anything that spawn in the sea, including eles and orcs.

And dolphins 

Can't you imbue them?  I know not for a weapon but for several good items.  I have about 25 of them I imbued several years ago, does it still work?

Last i checked you can not but will try again yes i checked you cannot imbue this item 

Can we equip rolling pins and frying pans with Cooking weapon skill also while we are making up stuff?

Yes if it makes you happy and hurts no one do you have something positive to contribute or you just want to sugar troll ?

Runic crafting. So far, this pole has worked pretty well for me.
 

beat me to it!  Can't be reforged or imbued, can be runic crafted. This is mine:

this is over powered...

I have many fine poles crafted from runics i also many weapons armor and shields all imbuable...why would my poles be different 

“(Some PvPers use fishing pole with +15 mysticism to cast spell stone bombard, it’s cheaper than the staff of eternity)”

My fisherman uses a spell channeling vollem while fishing… seems to work pretty good.

Fishing people have weapons.

It's called whatever weapon they choose to train into associated with the weapon skills, or magery, or a pet.

Fishing as a profession also has it's appropriate item, it's called a fishing pole. Equip it to use it, it can be crafted with mods.

Not a difficult concept, don't see any reason to re-create the wheel for something that's worked well enough for 25 years now, just because people are bored of pretty cut and clear gameplay.

How would this hurt? 

Great example of the type of request we see when people are bored.

What's next? A pickaxe that uses the mining skill to kill ore elementals?

There are multiple battle chef classes for both dnd and pathfinder but fun is frowned upon in uo

Again someone who repeatedly calls me a troll coming into a perfectly calm discussion offering nothing of value and replying only out of dislike..

Please show me where I have called you a troll.  I barely even use the term.  I also don't think you are a troll, so not sure what is goin on with that.  Maybe you are confusing me for someone else.

I'm simply responding to the statement that "fun is frowned upon in UO".  It is clearly absurd.  Do we all play this game because it is aggravating?  Do we play this game because it causes a lot of stress?  We play the game because it is fun.  Therefore, your statement is absurd.

I'm not telling you it is absurd because I don't like you.  I'm telling it is absurd because it is!

Lets also acknowledge that you pop into threads all of the time just to say something along the lines of "wish the devs could communicate more".  Is that helpful?  Not really.

yes I would love to equip a rolling pin in my right hand.
Pirates can equip liquor in their right hand,
why can't cooks hold the tools of their trade?
Mrs Claus would love that very much

=========

I do think that they should make it to where you can engrave fishing poles.
I would love to put "Used to catch the big one on (insert date) "

Lumberjack has an axe that you need swords to use to fight with... you seem to be mixing up what you are actually asking for.

I understood completely what he meant by fun is frowned upon. 

Anytime anyone has any sort of out of the box idea people automatically chime in to flame. Proof is plainly written in any thread requesting something different. 

I want new weps, new clothes and new armor. The only thing it would bother is maybe cut a little time off the next shiny item the greedy players could sell. 

Given the nature of a fishing pole it should be able to be used as a whip with a long handle. I am thinking barbed and spiked fishing poles. To make one you would need a fishing pole and a whip of desired type, the fishing skill, and tinker skill.

PlayerSkillFTW said:

Too bad Pickaxes don't get a damage bonus from Mining skill like Axes do from LJ skill.

-0 Mage Wep on a Fishing Pole would be mostly for defensive purposes when fishing (chance to get hit), not for dishing out actual damage.

The main difference between fishing and mining is that a fisher can sit in the middle of their boat and take zero melee damage (ie they could have nothing in their hands and still not take melee damage). So it doesn't really matter if a fisher has something in their hand or not.

I could argue that a fisher could equip the same type of bow (instead of pickaxe) and it would be the same thing as your miner setup.

They must have let us do it at some time then.     I am trying to figure out how to get screenshots but I play in Pincos full screen (no borders) and it seems it is impossible to print full screen or any item. I am going to try to take a picture with my phone and transfer to comp but being an old fart with some miserable dementia it makes it really hard.  I have forgotten about all of my trade abilities, but I assure you the items do exist, and I will show you.

try windows key + shift + s

No, nothing works on the full screen window, if it has the frame then maybe it can but if i try to change I have an awful time and I'm not in the mood for that - that would mean working days and days and more days to get everything straightened out.  The framed one does not seem to work on my comp for some reason, I've used the full screen for over 2 years now or longer.

Windows key + print screen workes for me using pincos and full screen.

Use snipping tool on windows to create screenshots.

With full screen and NO border?  Mine sure don't work, i changed to frame and it worked fine but I like the full screen better, some have said theirs work fine with no border but they also have Win11 and I only have Win10.
