Why Do You Even Bother Keeping Fishing

  • Fishing for the NA server does not make any money. Cant even sell to the regular merchants for what little gold they are worth, so why bother keeping this mech in the game?

    Is there even a purpose for it anyone.....i quit in 2015 and just came back about a month ago.

  • You can sell fishes to the Association Fishmonger, which will give you those tokens/tickets/whatever instead of gold and then you can buy Noctenium Elixirs with it. There are also fish cards which you might need and achievements if you might wanna complete them. Sadly I think those are the only purposes of fishing now.


    They did this to get rid of fishing bots. I guess it works but I still think the rewards for fishing could be better. Adding more useful rewards that can't be traded or sold to merchants would give players a reason to leave their characters fishing while also keeping bots away.

  • You're supposed to fish mostly because you're afk, there's no point in actively fishing.
    You can use the currency to buy consumables, it saves some golds for Goddess's Blessings or you can choose to buy the Multinostrum that gives a small boost compared to the single elements together.

    There are other ways to make golds...

    That's not true.....people can/are still running bots as long as the reward gives some sort of benefits, in this case the Noc Elixirs/Goddess Blessing. There may be less people running it now that there's no gold involved, but it will never completely stop bot runners as long as there's a beneficial reward. In that case they might as well just take it away.

  • They can do cooking without the fishing component....it adds nothing to the game.

    Nope, they cant cook best food withoud fishing.

    Dont be ignorant, before you wrote something, get basic knowledge what u can caft and what cant and what materials are required.

    you are so dumb.....i know they need fish to make a efing seafood buffet.....what im saying is that they can change the requirement so it's not necessary.......they can make the requirements drop by DG or add extra component to harvesting that can be used for higher level cooking. Auto-fishing is a dumb idea (people complaining about bots?? you dont even need bots when the game makes it auto for you as is). Adding a component to make money by fishing was an iffy idea (if they did it as a special event it would make more sense. and it should be manual fishing). Taking away the money but keeping the fishing......even dumber idea.

    Fish-bots caught BAFs afk. Sold them afk. Crafted new bait afk. There were people with 40+ accounts doing this 24/7, funneling all the gold from it to their main account. THAT is what people were complaining about.


    I'm glad the fish-bots are gone, but I wish they'd found a better way to do it.

  • Let's not forget that in addition to the economic imbalances, bots may crash the server for other players.


    I like fishing mostly for consumables and relaxation, I find active fishing to be enjoyable from time to time, but I miss the earnings from it not gonna lie. It would be great if they could at least add some tradeable fashion/mounts/pet skins to it, cosmetic or QoL changes mostly.

    Even if they have 40 accounts....unless they got 40 computers they can only run 1 account at a time, and limited 30 fish a day. So at the end of the day it's about the quantity of people whose doing this. You can say that they could do they same to farm for NOCs or Goddess blessing, or whatever else item they coupons from the fish is giving.

    Please just stop talking about this..


    Imagine needing more than one computer to run bots in tera


    You can even run bots without installing tera on ur computer kekw

    OwO what is this... :'3

    I'm afraid these bots are more dangerous than what you think, they can do way worse than this. The trouble doesn't come from one guy with 40 computers.


    A single computer suffices to run hundreds of accounts if not more, not to mention that before fish could be sold to a merchant for a smaller cost, but if you've got infinite fish you get the idea. Plus they also surpassed other waiting and catching related limits for fishing that shouldn't be possible/acceptable.


    I believe this level of information should be descriptive enough to grasp why it escalated out of their control.


    For the sake of the forum rules we'd rather avoid giving too much information about them, specially not any that may let people reproduce these cheats, so if you're unfamiliar with said cheat just check this archived thread that may give you a better insight on the current severe fishing nerf received[1].

  • I fish mainly for superior nocts, it's the fastest way and most efficient way to get them.

  • On the old EmE forums a guy was telling me that he transferred 40 accounts under one main account to Gameforge. It made him seem like a fish bot but he said he only kept that many accounts to store names.


    There was a very legitimate way to run 4 clients at a time and it wasn't illegal at all on EmE servers. This doesn't seem to work for the Gameforge servers, but I do understand what other people are saying here about hackers finding a way to run dozens of accounts on one PC.
