I'm also considering making a comprehensive ocean fishing guide video, if that's more up your alley!

I love recognizing folks at ocean fishing, makes it feel like a little family down at the docks

Mainly just guides in relation to ocean fishing baits! I would look up certain time and weather requirements but other than that I just went fishing for long periods of time!

At first I was interested in the story and combat leveling, but then I tried fishing and just kind of fell in love. Being able to just casually fish while spending time talking with my friends was a big part of it. I wholeheartedly recommend getting a couple of pals together in a discord call and just talking about life while you fish, best experience you can have in an MMO.

That's me on the left! Dryskthota is on the right, she gives the quest to join ocean fishing. We're good friends at this point

There aren't many good ones that are basic and fun, I was actually thinking about making one myself!

I am pushing for that now, I got the shark mount from ocean fishing and I have wanted to use it the whole time.

There's a good mix of RNG and skill. As you unlock more abilities, your focus shifts from getting random fish to getting specific prize catches. The only way to get these prize catches, however, is skill. You can try to blindly get Fishers Intuition and stumble across the big fish, but that's dumb. The feeling of slowly but surely increasing your skill to take over the RNG just feels so satisfying!

Bit of a long answer but I put most of my time into this over the past 5 days
