Fishing suggestions
I personally don't like the current fishing, so I have a small suggestions to help it seem more fun.
Treasure drops : there is a chance that while fishing you catch gems or coins instead. Maybe during events this ischanged to medals, candy, scrolls or cookies too.
Thoughts?
Oooh that would be awesome. Maybe a new type of bait or maybe pay like 2 gems to fish a random item (snoggletog,thawfest etc) or a random number of cookies/candies/medals etc. Maybe with the different ranked rods you could also fish for DT items? There could be a menu saying Fish for:
. DT items
. Fish
. Mystery chest items (farm or hideout or event items)
. Coins? xD
. Medals/cookies/candies
It would be amazing if something else could be caught (gems coins etc.)
LIke in Minecraft :D
That's the first thing I thought of when I read this suggestion. XD I don't play Minecraft but my sister does which is why that's the first thing I thought of.
I like this idea. It'd put an interesting spin on fishing. I also like Bryhild's idea of having a menu so we can fish for specific things. Here's something I've thought of to combine your and Bryhild's ideas: we could have the normal fishing spots like what we have now and when you went to fish the menu Bryhild suggested could pop up so we could decide what to fish for and then there also could be special fishing spots that have fish as well as random objects popping up out of the water, when you fished at those it would be random what you got. They could add a few new fishing spots in different locations that would be the special fishing spots.
Edit: To make things more simple, instead of adding special fishing spots, they could just add "Random" to the menu Bryhild suggested, so you'd be able to pick what you wanted to fish for or you could pick "Random" so it would be random what you would get. When you entered fishing mode, the menu would pop, you'd pick what you wanted to fish for(either something specific or just random), and then while you were fishing that's what you'd catch. You'd have to exit and reenter fishing mode to switch what you wanted to fish for. That's probably a lot more simple than adding special fishing spots as well as a menu for the normal fishing spots. XD
That sounds like an interesting idea! Fishing for objects other than fish probably wouldn't require a piece of bait so much as an empty hook, though. Or for that matter, a net. In fact, in addition to the menu idea, fishing could also be pulled off with nets in place of rods. HPPowers suggested menu could also feature a module for switching between a fishing rod and a fishing net. Using the rod would allow a viking to catch only one item at a time, but they could have more control over what type of item they catch using the rod. Using the net could allow a viking to catch more objects at once, but as a counter, they could have less control over what items/what types of item they catch. They could also use different sizes and/or styles of nets to catch items, for example a deep sea net would have a greater chance of scraping up large amounts of gems and coins, while a large net would stand a better chance at capturing large items such as statues. In addition, fishing could be a great way to find event items outside of the events they feature in (example: catching a Dreadfall Axe in April) as opposed to having to buy loads and loads of mystery chests, earn them in DT, or find them in Maze Chests during the event.
