    here we go,

    Looks like we can get nice experience with all the gathering skills.
    All except for one... Fishing...

    1- I think it is overdue. need to be rethink in terms of experience gain.

    2- Also, since its the year of fixing old systems, Can you guys have a look at baits... Do they really work?????

    Thank you

    One note on fishing giving "good" XP is that it's one of the easiest systems for people to abuse with botting, though if it meant taking a stricter stance on anyone that might already be botting fishing I'd certainly be in favor of that.

    The bait does have an effect. There's a separate loot table for every bait type for every water type, each with slight % differences. We'll try to reveal more of these differences in the future with better bait tooltip descriptions.

    I think that fishing xp in POTs is fine as it is, but in high level adventures scenes where you risk being attacked by high level mobs it should be higher, and would be neat if there were some bonus for increased risk in PvP scenes as well.

    EDIT: and yes baits do work, but the difference is not that huge.
