Treasure Maps and Magic Fish
Pam
Speaking from only my experience...don't expect to fish up many
maps. After countless mind numbing hours of fishing I finally hit GM
last week. I almost gave up numerous times...I'd find the skill gain
to be about the worst of any skill I've ever done. I could sometimes
go 6-8 hours without one bit of gain. From 90-100 I fished up a total
of 3 treasure maps! Only three. Others might have had more success
than I did.
On the bright side, once you reach GM you will fish up Messages In a
Bottle. This weekend I fished up about 18 of those and only 3 maps.
I will say that reaching GM was worth the aggravation, frustration and
sheer boredom I suffered through. heh Good luck to you!

I am a grandmaster fisherman. I find the best places for treasure maps
along with sos bottles is out 15 tiles from shore... I can pull up about 3
treasure maps in a couple hours and maybe 2 sos bottles if im lucky...
As for those fish... I have no idea what they are good for... I like to just
eat them. Too bad the skill enhancements to stay forever, heheh
Goodluck

languished at anything over 3-5per. If you want to make quick cash on
them, go to the Vesper bank and sell them to newbies for about 10
each. I've watched people sell 100's this way.

Well for Selling fish the provishiner shop works well made
over 5K so far on selling when I do... an for getting treasure maps
must be deep sea which is 15 squares away from any land... and you
should get some every once and a while... keep fishing.. I'm a Gm
sometimes takes 2 hours to get something but then I get 2 in a row to
make up the hour before...
just for example you should see one every roughly 380 casts or 1 an
hour...
Hope this helps

seemed to me that a deep-sea monster will come up before the map does..
But that's just how it worked for me after i believe it was 10 hours of
straight fishing.

>straight fishing.
wow.. how do you guys do it. I was mining for about 3 hours yesterday morning.
I just couldn't take it anymore.. towards the end I wasn't even separating the
ore piles for skill gain.. I was just smelting 20 at a time. (I was filling an
order for 2k iron ingots)
I just purchased UOassist so maybe life will be a little easier once I figure
out how to use the functions..
Funny little story to go along with all that smelting.. on the way to make the
exchange of ingots for gold I passed a cherry colored box sitting on the
ground. I have a nasty habit of double clicking those containers and this time
it was just a really stupid thing to do considering what I was carrying. Wham!
Poisoned.. I start running like hell back to the bank to get the ingots to a
safe location.. one screen away I drop dead.. I was so mad I added 2k to the
bounty on his head (that was stupid since I'm basicly lowly funded right not) I
think his name was Nikk. SO.. here I am ghosting to the healer thinking..
please people.. be afraid.. the corpse is blue.. don't touch.. well.. to end
this: Today was my lucky day.. no one touched a thing.. I picked up
everything.. made the trade.. and gave up UO for the rest of the day =)
Well.. there's always tomorrow to make another stupid mistake..

Those were 10 hours deep sea fishing non macroed...
Be pretty bad if I had macroed and wham there spawns a deep-sea serpent just
before your eyes hehe.. Would have been the last of me. And if you want a
decent meal (had to put this in here) my vendor who is not very profitable
just outside of brittain sells cakes meat pies pizzas and other crazy stuff
:)
Just thought I would make that house that wouldnt sell (well I didn't try
very hard either) a tavern. The seashore Tavern opn for business on the
europa shard. So if anyone would like to stop by soemtime let me know :) Or
if there is another fisher out there that would like to go deep sea fishing
with me for company ICQ me :)
