... I use a dual macro system for fishing in the EC. 1: Fishing pole in a hotbar slot, Target: Cursor 2: Built Macro: | Pole Target Cursor | Wait for Target | Target Cursor Last | Delay 8.0 | Pole Target Cursor | Wait for Target | Target Cursor Last | Delay 8.0 | (Set to repeat 10 times) You can build the second macro to use the number of casts you desire. I also made sure I have an Equip macro for my Horselord Bow just in case a serpent is fished up.
I use a vollem as pet for my fisher. Set it to all guard me and you don't even have to stop fishing. Sea serpents or water ellies are no match for a vollem.
I take a blue beetle with me. And the beetle seems to be able to handle the serpents quite well over the years I've had him. I then have the ability to move large amounts of crab and fish no matter where I fish. Incidentally it's named "A Blue Whale". Which I find amusing.
No, it does not. Nobody understands why and people keep asking the devs to include it. I started a petition in uhall, feel free to vote http://vboards.stratics.com/uhall/246533-please-add-fishing-poles-target-resource-ec.html
Didn't there used to be a thing to use item in your hand? I can't figure out how to set up a macro to use my fishing pole anymore. I swear we used to have a macro setting that was like use item in hand... or some such thing.
... Mine is just two things: Setup: Fishing pole in hotbar slot, Target: Cursor Fishing selected spot (Built Macro): Fishingpole | Wait for Target | Cursor Target Last | Delay 8.0 | Fishingpole | Wait for Target | Cursor Target Last | Delay 8.0 (Repeat 10x)
Mine match Dermott's, plus I have one other which I use when the spot I'm fishing is depleted. 'say - slow forward' 'delay (8.0)' 'say - Furl Sail'
The macro seems to work well in a dungeon or on shore but from my boat it keeps telling me that I need water to fish in - I am in the middle of the ocean surrounded by water Am I missing something?
