Add Fishing to the Farm

Hello, here’s a pretty neat idea for Bungie in the new social space- The Farm. Now, I know what you’re thinking, why do we need fishing? Well, I’ll tell you. It adds a factor of fun and excitement, especially when you catch something cool. Here’s how it can be planned out A fishing vendor, a robot with your average fishing gear and hat called FLY-F1SH3R will arrive at the pond. He sells fishing rods and bait. The bait costs glimmer or legendary marks. Of course, the legendary mark bait will be higher quality and has the potential to fish up better loot. There are 3 rods you can buy... Tier 1 Rod- Hard Wood, breaks after 15 casts Tier 2 Rod- Steel, breaks after 30 casts Tier 3 Rod- Reinforced Steel, breaks after 50 casts The rods will be unlocked via catching loot/items/fish for FLY-F1SH3R in quests. At the end of his quest line, he gives you his exotic heavy gun called “The Whalebane”, it’s a harpoon gun that holds up to 4 harpoons. The Whalebane is an exotic heavy weapon, and it’s the only Harpoon Gun in the game. Its damage type is Arc, and its exotic perk allows for all 4 harpoons to be shot at once by holding the reload button. The harpoons will however have a decent sized spread, and do some less damage. After the quest line, you can still fish for loot and fish. FLY-F1SH3R will still buy your fish for glimmer, which you can use to buy more bait. To keep people motivated to fishing, there will be rare fish in the pond. These fish sell for LEGENDARY MARKS. Yes, these are worth quite a bounty and FLY-F1SH3R will gladly take them off your hands. All of your catches will be recorded in your fishing book, along with the date where you caught the fish. The loot pool of the Pond consists of weapons (No heavy weapons), boxes of glimmer, unique consumables, and fish. There will be 6 docks that guardians can fish off of. So, that’s my idea. I hope you guys enjoy it :). EDIT1- Just thought of another idea, fishing bounties! Such as catch 50 fish, catch a rare fish, or even catch-of-the-week bounties! EDIT2- Ideas for consumables listed below- 1. Essence of Luck, increased chance of reeling in a Rare Fish 2. Essence of Power, infinite casts for the next 3 minutes 3. Essence of Fortune, increased chance of reeling in a box of glimmer 4. Essence of Venture, increased chance of reeling in a quest item (stops dropping after fishing quest line is finished)

  • While this is cool and all it would probably be added in an expansion. For now I'd settle for an emote.

    I can understand fishing for loot, but if we do that...wouldn't we be salvaging?

        • I like the idea, but am also skeptical of it. Fishing is usually pretty boring, even in video games.

              • They definitely need something to do at the farm because it really isn't much different than the tower. The worst part is they just reused the physics of the purple ball/D1 soccer ball which was already the only thing to really interact with in the tower. Surely Bungie can add something that would be a big hit with the players.

                  Feels like it could be a fun pass time, but can I catch a Feebas if I keep using a Tier 3* Rod?

                    • Great idea except rods shouldn't break. Better quality rods should give a better chance at better quality fish that sell for more or whatever.
