Patch date announced, new fishing system from Feb 23rd : FFXI General Discussions

Please refer to:

Anyway, still haven't seen anything to suggest the new fishing system will somehow affect bots in a significant way unless they added some "total fishing time" thingie to hunt 24/7 fisher.
I mean, doesn't seem like they have that yet.

I know how, like I said before in another post. Fishers will be required to weaken the fish by moving the rod before they pull it up for the catch.

My point was, that isn't significant.

I belive it will be significant. They have referred to the new system as an interactive fishing system. While the current bots will still work as intended I would be willing to be that you will catch 0 fish. Espeically if your fishing skill is like 50+ where you are pulling up larger fish. If moving the pole around is required to weaken the fish, and the bot just does like normal, /fish and wait for it to be reeled in, you will probably catch nothing.

Of course, this is all speculation until the patch comes out and we really see how it is... Tomorrow at 9 PST... I can't wait... ^^

Adding in rod movement and tracking the fish stamina is expected to be very trivial and will surely get built into the current system of playerHP, MP, TP and targetHP, MP as a new targetST or something to that effect. Like you said we will have to wait and see but it is my belief and the belief of many other coders that this is going to be a very trivial workaround.

Hey, my bot is an interactive botting system. $$
Who would be so stupid to think the current bots would work without modification?
Me neither, I'm so waiting for people to discover it's a horrendous nerf and scream in pain. ~~~~ (Honestly, I'm pretty convinced there'll be a nerf somewhere in this due to faster skillups.)

Clearly you have nfc what you're talking about so please, please god reply for our collective entertainment!

(Note, I'm still not affiliated with XUnleashed so any nasty things I say can still be 100t hammered by Admin/WyvernX/unknown_mod_01. I just enjoy reading these "anti bot" information, strategies and solutions people post and how some solution will solve the botting problem.)

I believe in ya ASL

omg! hi hexy! its devy!!! =P

according to WyvernX the fish statima is related directly to targetHP.

I'll have the updated FFXI Service out here in a few.

Fixing the memory locs that changed.

Gonna see if I can also find the player pole sway position and sweat while i'm at it.

sweat would be awesome, was this just looked past before? this would have eliminated the need to ever fight monsters

Patched. Lemme know if it works ok for ya.

Havnt found sweat yet or the rod, but have a nice work around atm.

wont delete my rusty items or give gil value to fish but i can live with that for now, nice job on a work around ^^
