Fish, I think.

>Fishing is probably the best thing. Own a horse a close second?

I guess I should just cut to the chase and re-form my question...

How the heck do you train this skill as an Empath, since we get shock from fishing?

I've never seen any animal lore come from interacting with my horse, unless this has changed very recently.

<<Own a horse a close second?>>

ahem.

last time i checked grooming a horse, interacting with a horse, etc. does NOT actually teach any animal lore to any guild - including paladins - except rangers when they instruct a horse.


<<If nothing else, maybe some Magic Using guilds will now feel the joys of "You cannot steal here.", at least for a while.--Solomon>>

I'd like to take this moment to re-visit a former suggestion I had regarding Animal Lore.

Would it be possiable to offer Animal Lore exp for studying animal anatonomy charts?

...Makes sense to me and would cut down on all the dern fishers.

>You can also learn animal lore by tending things like leeches and mites off of your character.

I've tried this a few times and the rate of learning was a pathetic trickle. Not to mention the requirement that you wander around constantly moving in circles hoping for something to grab onto you to earn that pathetic trickle--not very lore-like at all.

Are there any Empath players out there who train Animal Lore with anything approximating success?

If you go up to the sandpits in Muspar'i you don't have to wander much. The learning is still far from ideal though.

>So should we add fishing nets to engineering skill? :-P

I think it would more naturally fit into Tailoring, since it's essentially weaving.

weaver ties on weights he or she gets from a smith?

Rigek

Mesh casting nets can be purchased in a sizes ranging from 4 feet in circumference up to 12 feet. Few people can manually lift more than a 10-foot net once it is filled with fish. The standard size is the four-foot model and has small metal weights attached to the edges. Usual weighting is set at one pound per foot of net. They also have at least a 10-foot hand line that attaches to your hand when the net is thrown. There is also a type of retrieval clamp, sometimes called a thimble, which closes the net when it is full.


To pull in the net, there is a clamp-like device, which works like a wringer on a mop. You have to pull the hand line toward yourself until the net reaches you or your boat. The net will be tightly closed at the opening and hopefully full of fish! Lift the net into a bucket and release the clamp, the fish are dumped into the bucket.

I'd like to also see some traps for fish introduced at some point in time.

Empaths, disregard the above suggestion! <g>
