Deciding to try fishing and tmaps
My vet player noobie moment. I'm extremely bored and considering making a fisher and t-hunter.
Do i need anything other than fishing (and fighting skills) to do mibs? How do you find the coords?
Tmaps: I get the concept but is there an easy way to find the location without using a 3rd party mapper?

fishing any fighting skills or pet you only pull up sea serpents
I haven’t don’t the new revamped tmaps yet
a friend made me a reptile slayer cyclone
and I can use it to kill the sea serpents and water elementals
that I sometimes pull up while fishing for the SOS
(other fishers I have use Magery to energy bolt them)
EC has a feature to set a waypoint on the map
(it will be a yellow dot on your map
and there will be a flashing vortex on the water when you get close to it)
if you use Pinco's UI (user interface)
the yellow dot will be a ship in the water
but he removed the ability to see the flashing vortex
(he does have an icon that tells you how many spaces away
you are from the nearest SOS)
=========
I didn't like doing them in CC
It took me way too long to find them
because you have to use a sextant
(I could only do 10 in the same time I can do 100 in EC
so no going back to getting them in CC)
Learning cartography (EC)
Step 1 Go to the local mages and buy as many scrolls as you can carry.
Step 2 Then, go see the mapmaker whose shop is in the building on the dock
Step 3 Buy a map pen and make as many maps as you can can
Step 4 Sell the maps to the map maker
Step 5 Buy all the blank maps and a new pen if you need one
Step 6 Repeat steps 3 and 4
Step 7 When the map maker runs out of blank maps leave and buy as many scrolls as you can carry
Step 8 Repeat steps 2 through 7 above. Eventually the mapmaker will generate enough blank maps that you won’t have to leave. Boring but it works.
When your probability for creating the next level map reaches around 45% start making that level map. You can also buy the upper level maps and overwrite those if you have a hard time finding scrolls.
It’s boring but if you do a lot of treasure maps well worth it. Have not done the sea chests yet so can’t comment on those.
You will also need to learn remove trap if you intend to do higher level treasure maps.
I place a bag where I start digging. If I don’t get a map after digging north, south, east and west. I move about six spaces in each direction and repeat digging.
Good luck. Uneven terrain makes digging more difficult.
With treasure chest’s the remove trap part can be a deal breaker. Without the remove trap skill I would recommend sticking to stash and supply chests unless you can kill what comes out of the other chests really quickly. You need about 90 remove trap for the higher level chests. Can be really frustrating in the field. Remove trap takes awhile to get to 90.
I went ahead and downloaded mapper. I will learn this if it breaks me.
Remove trap rules require you stay within a certain distance of the chest which means you need to deal with the fire damage and monsters that jump out very quickly if you intend to survive long enough to open the chest. That’s why I recommended doing lower level chest early on.
