well ive got the bot working well, just need to make a path, but other than that its great...now i run into a problem I didnt expect...

so im fishing carp, getting really nice bites, 15stack every like 3hr-4hr, but then i go to sell my fish on the AH, and no sale in 3 days so far! I have 3 mules with 7 stacks on AH each, 500g less than norm price, none selling, and carp stacking up in my inv/stash...

so im beginning to see that carp is no longer a good thing to bot...

so I ask: should I just bot on my main as well, and get his skill up too, so later on I can do SSG for nebs? are nebs even good money? ive never fished them, on my other character a long time ago I had lu shangs and would bot bream, but im far off from getting lu shangs, and not sure if its even worth getting anymore. Ive also thought about going back to bream, but the vendor price has been cut in half...and I wont have lu shangs for a LONG time+ getting to 70+ fishing with this !@#$%^* new system may take quite a while...and there are Black Soles but even longer until I can fish those, again needing lu shangs, and ill need a character to bot on that can bot qufim...aka:my main!

Ive been considering just stopping fish botting and doing NM botting, emperor etc...but cant find a good voke bot..so thats out of the question atm...

Am I just getting incredibly unlucky on my sale rate for carp? or is the AH in bismarck a black hole for moat carp...or all servers maybe? I never knew why carp sold SO much (I assumed it was for the lu shangs quest, but didnt see how SO many people alwaysneeded it , and cooking a little I guess...) but it did..I remember putting 7 up, theyd all be sold within 10 min, and id put another 7 up. Now its been days and only mayb 5/50 stacks have sold

If anyone knows a good voke bot, or can confirm that the NM camper posted in the dl section here on XU is good or not, ive yet to unlock RNG yet on my new accnt, so I havent been able to try it.

thanks-

once again...GREAT fishing bot Drakk and Asl, it works like a charm, just wish my fish would sell :cry:

2 suggestions for ya. 1) Only fish moat carps. Asl18fs mentioned that you can still get almost 200 now if you only fish up moats.

2) This takes some time investment but it's worth 3mil or whatever it goes for on your server. Don't try to sell your moats as moats, sell them as a Lu Shang's Rod ;) That's what I'm going to do. When I get my second one, that Is, I'll probably just sell the first eventually too when I have some time to start lvling again. Thf !@#$%^* is expensive, stupid scorpian harness is all but required now.

Edit: Finally got my first Lu Shang's today, only took a month and half, and that's with taking a lot of time out to get the bot working.

so insted of selling your moats, you just fish bot them all the time, turn em all in for lu shangs, and sell that?

how do you make the money to support your class/bait while you do that?

so none of you fish for profit anymore? just fish ur moats for lu shangs, and then sell it?

Fish moat carps using little worms. Bait price is the no longer a problem. ;)
Granted, here I'm assuming you've raised your fisher to above 32 skill so you don't get so much crayfish.

I hate when do that, above was me.

Suppose to have read, "if you fish what you bring >in< is what they count"

Catching crayfish takes time, a 60+ fisher is can plow through the 200 moat carp limit in 2-3 hours. For a 30 skill fisher it takes like 5. For a 11 skill fisher even longer.
