Additions

• Added Fishing officially. This is a minigame you can do at the Lake on the Lobby. With it comes an assortment of new weapons to seek out, rare fish to find/catch, a seperate XP/Level system (just visual right now), and an NPC inwhich you can do a number of things with. When fishing, you will catch various types of fish, or even items(yes also rare unique items too!). You can then in-tern take these fish to the NPC and sell them for "Fish bucks" to spend on things in the shop.
  Your rod/baits will also lose durability. Baits will be lost upon reaching 0% durability, while rods will 'break' and need to be repaired from the "Repair" tab in the Shop.
  Some of you have reported sightings involving some kind of Lake Monster at the lake, so be wary while fishing, just 'in-case'.
  
  To fish, buy a rod from the NPC and walk close to the lake and type !fish. Then cast your line out to a spot of your choice, and follow the on-screen instructions once you get a bite.
  
  The shop offers a variety of options to spend coins or the new currency on such as, but not limited to:
  • New Rods. Each rod has its own stat set, like "Catch Rate" or "Strength", and durability.
    Strength determines how your rod holds up against heavier fish. Strength * 5 is the max weight your rod can handle 'safely'. Anything more will cause your rod to use more durability. If a weight is within your rod's weight range, you will typically get LESS letters on the fishing QTE, depending on how far in to your rods weight class it is.
  • Different baits that offer different types of modifiers to your rod.
  • A Dock. You can buy this to allow everyone to enjoy it, though.
    
• There will be more added to the shop as needed.
• Added a "Search bar" to the Inventory and Backpack UI. This highlights any item that matches your search criteria.
  
  
  
• Added small chat icons for each rank.
• Added a "Fishing" tab to the Inventory on the lobby. It shows your fishing stats/level/exp.
  

Changes

• Pisces water walk can now be toggled at will.
• Aquarius now drains 15% DoT 'duration' per 3 seconds while in cube-form.
  

The servers will be down for the next hour or so as I make sure everything was uploaded properly, and wipe all fishing progress.

Here's some details into some of the stats for Fishing Rods.

Strength. This stat determines the weight the rod can 'safely' handle. The 'weights' it can handle is determined by Strength * 5. If a fish falls within the weight category of your rod, the letters are reduced (depending on how-far into your rods weight class it is), and the amount of durability your rod loses is lowered.

If a catch is OUTSIDE your rods weightclass, the amount of durability you will lose is increased by quite a bit. Letters are their 'natural' amounts and not changed in any way (unless you have a specific bait on).
Catch rate. This stat reduces the 'wait time' between catches, by said %. It can be stacked with lures (not additive), to reduce times even further.


Most Lures have a static durability decrease amount per-catch, which is currently set to 4% per catch.
