Update! 7000/10000 fishing from pools as of last night (or when I logged) 3k more to go!Some of you might have seen the random guild announcement on the calendars that tells you to go fishing. The guild is currently working on unlocking
the seafood magnifique feast. In order to do that, we have to catch 10,000 items by fishing from fishing pools that spawns in various locations.
My personal goal is to do 100 per day minimum, 200 maximum or more if I'm crazy. This means you can't just fish anywhere, but only in spots where there's a fishing pool that spawns and will despawn after catching x amount of fish/items from that pool.
The three types of fish listed in the announcement are the fish needed to cook the feast. However, you do not have to farm those. Fishing in any fish pools is what we want you to do. Even collecting volatile fire and water counts because you get them from pools.
So in your spare time, fish if you can. Don't let that be your sole focus.
If you try to fish in a wreckage type pool, you have a chance to find the book on finding fish. Then you can track fishing pools on your minimap, the same way you can track mines and herbs. But you have to have a minimum of 100 in fishing to read the book. However, the best place to find those pools to fish in is in STV area. Also, its bind on pickup. The book will be found in a unlocked box of some type.
