Talk:Broken Mithran Rod

It used to be quite a bit easier to break these. As of April 2009, I couldn't even hook any logs in East Ronfaure, with hours of fishing on my main (Fishing 86ish) and a mule (Fishing 14). My next stop was Qufim Island, targeting Gigant Squid from the north cliffs. I got a few squid between calamary catches, but rather than breaking the rod I got the message "you lost your catch due to your lack of skill"... just like the message you may get when you try to reel in a fish before its stamina is fully depleted, but that's not the sort of mistake I make 3 times in a row: the fish stamina bar was completely empty, the game has definitely become stingy about letting us break rods. Anyway, after 3 "lack of skill" messages I hooked a fourth squid, which did in successfully break the rod. --Vaprak 14:50, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
