How do i "fish" faster?

I’m farming the drowned mana from legion…but the LONG fishing channel just makes it so so sooooo BORING! …and i have youtube on the second monitr and it’s very slow.

So is there a way to make this go faster?

You can’t unfortunately.
You can only increase the fishing level that will increase your chance of getting rare item (I’m 95% sure it works that way) with items like Sharpened Tuskarr Spear, Weather-Beaten Fishing Hat, enchants etc.
Also you can enable Interact Key so you won’t have to aim and click on the bobber, but press the interact key when you will hear the effect of a caught fish.

Wish they’d update fishing… it’s been the same since day 1.

Have it more involved! Make it a minigame.

Anything but just clicking on a damn bobbing float…

There is a World Quest in the Ringing Deeps where we gather ore from the ground and we have to get them to a specific point without losing our stability. During it, we can use the extra action that replenishes stability where we start casting and, depending on where we release the button, we get a small, large or amazing boost to stability.

That’s the base of how I’d like fishing to be reimplemented. A random cast of ~10 seconds which is split in “bad”, “good” and “amazing” areas:

  • Letting the action button within “bad” just collects trash
  • Letting the action button within “good” just collects common quality fish
  • Letting the action button within “amazing” collects uncommon and rare fish but has a soft limit to avoid exploits.
  • At 0 Fishing Skill, the entire bar is “bad”. So when starting with a new character or in a new expansion, we only catch grey items at the start.
  • “Good” would be linearly increasing in size according to Fishing skill, with a ceiling at 25% of the bar. The placement of the “good” segments would be random. For example at one specific cast of the fishing line the bar could be: “Bad 2sec, Good 0.5sec, Bad 1sec, Good 1sec, Bad 3sec, Good 1sec, Bad 1.5sec”
  • “Amazing” starts at 0 size always. As long as the player has not moved, then it increases in size by (fishing skill x 0.001) sec by each consecutive cast, until the player lands a hit in the Amazing part, at which point it again resets to 0.
    – This means that at first cast no player can catch something in the Amazing part.
    – A player at 400 skill would have a 0.4sec segment on the cast bar at the 2nd cast. If they did not land a hit there, then the next cast would have a 0.8sec part. etc.
    – There would be no limit on the size of the “Amazing” part, so that players who do not have good reflexes will still always catch rare fish, even if it means the entire cast bar becomes “Amazing”
  • Fishing pools etc. would of course stay as they are and maintain the only place where specific fish can be caught. This would mean that, since most fish pools last only 4 or 5 casts, it would be possible to not always have the chance to get an “Amazing” cast in a pool. This is intentional.

Archaeology also needs a revamp

Nope, it’s kinda recent, widely welcomed addition to the game.
