THE FISHING THREAD

[The Black Parade]

We all want fishing of course, sadly the eco update didnt have fishing even tho the eco update was supposed to be fishing update, but GuEsS nOt

so here is a suggestion about fishing.

Fishing Vendor + Special crate

A new vendor, this vendor will sell fishing equipment, like different types of bait (with unique traits on them), and basic fishing rods. You can buy these with forerunner fragments.
A new crate! The Fishing Crate, this crate contains fishing rods, and bait

Fishing + The LOOT

We all know where to fish if this actually happens, when you're at the lake, maybe if you put a fishing rod in your primary slot, and go close to the lake, it will equip only your fishing rod?
Just like in any fishing simulator, throw your hook in the water and wait for the bobber to bob. You can get loot like fish, coins, crates, new uniques and tiers, GODLIKES, and other rewards

(NOTE that I didnt add some sort of chance for a bait to be remove, I don't know the best way to "remove" bait once you catch a fish, im throwing ideas")

New Weekly Quest
a quest to gather fish from the lake, can give you rewards like uniques and tiers + maybe the fishing crate and other crates

Fish
Lots of new common and rare fish! These fish maybe can be used for old/new runes, you bring them to arvid, and pick a rune to create if you have a certain amount of fish (with a chance to fail....of course).

List of Items

Here are a list of items that I thought of

Spoiler

BAIT
(I don't understand what chances should be for bait, so I'm giving each bait a 1-10 rating)

RODS
(Not really too much for Rods right now, if you have anything to add on how having a certain rod can benifit, please add a comment)

Regular Fishing Rod
"for starters"
*can always buy at the vendor, and find in crate

Harpoon Gun
"Whaling has never been easier!"
Godlike
*only dropped from the crate
*this is a unique rod, shoot harpoons into the lake, and swim down to grab the harpoon, certain items are given after you collect the harpoon (harpoon will not be collected)
*uses its own bait, Harpoon. Collect this bait by getting kills with the Traitor Harpoon (has a chance to drop a harpoon item at the end of the round). Place this harpoon item inside of your Harpoon Gun (like a crystal). this ammunition can also be used in TTT (NOT AS OP AS THE REGULAR HARPOON), and you cannot obtain this ammunition by grabbing ammo from the ground, when you shoot a harpoon, you cannot gain back that shot next round.

RUNES + CRAFTING
(I have a rough sketch of a idea, you collect these fish, and you can bring them to Arvid to create a rune. Add how many fish it needs, and maybe it also needs coins or forerunner fragments? add some ideas on how this could work)

All 3 Godlike runes
[Requires 1 Guppy, 10000 coins
[Crafts either rune of power, rune of enjoyment, rune of ultimate reconstruction

Rune of Experience
[requires 1 green swordtail, 1000 coins

Rune of Greater Experience

*this rune increases chance of finding loot while fishing for 1 hour.

Rune of enhancment

Rune of Looting
[Requires 2 Neon Tetras, 5000 coins

Rune of Fortune
[Requires 1 Green Sunfish, 1 Blue Tang, 500 coins

Rune of Restoration
[Requires 1 angelfish, 100 coins

Rune of Destruction
[Requires 1 fangfish, 5000 coins
*this rune increases damage to most bosses in events

UNIQUES AND TIERS
(I'll add more if I think of more)
SwordFish
Primordial
+ 20% damage
+ 20% range
- 10% firerate
- 10% mobility
*hold right click and release to throw the sword, dealing 50% damage, and sticking to the player you hit (this can be picked up).

I think I went try hard, but I had a ton of ideas.
