    In Central Brit and many other scenes you can find bubbles in the ocean near docks that give a higher fishing chance percentage, It would be nice if you could place these in POTs too. Would probably want to have a limit to how many a POT can have of course to stop someone putting them everywhere!

    Wonder if that is just a bug? I would assume the water in POT's would have a chance to have those *occasionally* in the water in their town. I could not find any in my towns water surface, using the Saltwater statue.

    Players being allowed to manually placing those in a POT, would be, for very and obvious reasons, bad....

    Well I thought they were a random chance as well, but if you go to Central Brit or Kings Port they are always in the same spot, so I think they are manually set.

    Yeah. Those might be only manually set? I guess, maybe it would be nice if they at least, have a chance to show up in POT water? But no idea if they even have tech that could do that (or not).

    Aye I would be happy with a random chance in a POT vs them being placeable.

    they are manually placed and they're not placed in pots because there's no way of knowing where there might be an interfering water lot. i don't know technically if they COULD be player placeable.

    We call these special fishing locations "Fishin Hotspots." They are a special type of resource node that can affect the loot that avatars can collect while fishing. You'll mostly see them in adventuring scenes, but sometimes you'll also see them in NPC towns. There are no plans to add these types of resource nodes as deco for players to place. (Or are you just hoping to have a bubbles effects deco object without a resource/loot change?)

    The option to place as deco would be a nice feature, but I totally get why you wouldn't want the resource version being placable. All good! Thank you for the detailed reply.

    Though confusing for anglers trying to figure out why they're not getting a bonus.
