If I can recall, up until a while back you could add as many Training Points with your Guildmaster as you wanted towards your Fishing skill. BUT the other night I checked and saw that when you click on Guild Master, Fishing is not one of the skills listed anymore in which you can Train. Why did SOE stop allowing use to add Training Points to Fishing?
When did this happen?

Why does it matter? I never noticed any difference from 120ish to 200. For that matter I never noticed a change from 60 or so to 200.

It probably happened due to people getting Secondary Forte and training beyond the max with extra points they had lying around. You could also practically master Research this way, so all Guild Masters are capped at a certain point now, I think.

In game my fishing skill says like 207 or so. No idea why. Not checked it in a month or so, so it might have been a bug. Think I read something somewhere about skill levels not showing correctly. Ill have to recheck it. But I have no idea how it would be above 200.

EDIT: Just checked and it was back to 200.

That might have been done at the same time that they took away the ability to train Spell Research or Poison Making past 21.
Oh, as far as seeing 207 fishing skill in game, any chance you had a +fishing item equipped? The skill list shows modified skill levels (in green, if you have a modifier).

I think of no why its changed. Its either;
Way back when they expanded the fishing tradeskill so you could make different bait.

Or

When Epic 1.5's came out, part of the Paladin epic 1.5 is to fish in various spots, to spawn a mob. This only works if skill is over 100. Maybe SoE changed it then so Pallies had to actually fish to raise the skill.

How can Fishing trigger a spawn? What zone is that in and what are you catching?

Likewise, one of the wizard collectibles for 1.5 prequest is fished. Figures, I anticipate a long wait, buy a bunch of bait and a pole, and got my piece on the 4th cast. :rolleyes:

I spent so much time /lfg that I got fishing to 200 quickly and without ever putting a point into it.
