jodgi Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 We almost never talk about this, do we? I wonder why we only whisper about it in remote recesses or giggle with guilty pleasure privately? I have an insane impulse to do a write-up on afk fishing. It would amuse me to do it with a serious face. Is there even interest in such a guide, or does EVERYONE already do it routinely? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

z4ys Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 When sailing I am never AFK. I am always watching the horizon. Please tell me how to be AFK and fish. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macjimm Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 I was recently doing paperwork and was fishing at the same time. I sailed to a secluded island and anchored near shore in a small bay. I had the game running but was not paying attention. Caught a lot of fish by the time I finished the paper work. No bottles. I would only do this with a ship that I'm prepared to lose. It is very risky. From time to time I see ships anchored in a odd place. I assume the player is afk fishing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't make much of an entertaining read, though. It's also too risky for me because I do this wholesale and over long periods of time. Can't have some alt noticing my afk-er and coming with his main to pick up my five bottles, forts be damned. You also end up with bottles in remote locations and that can be a drag to transport; Either the bottles or the loot. The Russians do this up in Bermuda. I was there a few weeks ago and saw three big ships afk-fishing during off hours. I bet a raider squad could go into Bermuda during EU work hours and limp away with a few bottles. Also, I'm half expecting bottle drops to be turned off in zones or close to ports at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
