Tried 4 times with my long spear, each miss was 0.5 damage to the spear. Nope, I'll whack a bear for meat before I beat my spear to pieces. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 8, 2020 (edited) Nope, not doing it. Attempted to spear 2 fish. Missed both times. 18q junk spear went from 0 to 3.34 damage. 3rd attempt, fish too small, 3.46 damage. Back to hunting bears for food. after the patch. Edited August 8, 2020 by Fengist Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But after the patch it is supposedly better for those using it. To be fair, im not using spear fishing much either. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 8, 2020 Before the patch: caught 2 roach and damaged my foot 3 times. After the patch: caught 4 roach, 2 perch, 1 brook trout until the first and only time I hit my foot. Acknowledging that my fishing skill went from 1 to 4 before the patch, and 4 to 7 or 8 after the patch, it's still a great deal less unpleasant to spearfish now and I'm very glad they made the change. This was with my new Harmony character, thus the low skills. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 8, 2020 Has anyone every killed themselves before this patch by repeated spear to the foot & what would such a message be? Questions that I'll never have answers to now that they made it easier! Good patch though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Questions that I'll never have answers to now that they made it easier! Good patch though. I did manage to kill my alt via taking a 98 damage wound and the resulting "healing tick" killed it. This was almost right after the fishing system was release and I was using a 93ql enchanted spear tbf though. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
