TUESDAY, 11 AUGUST 2009 BY In Annor there are two different skill sets. One of these sets is the tradeskill system. The tradeskills are very specific and once you follow down the path of a tradeskill it is usually best to stick to it. Moving from trade to trade will make you multi skilled but you will never be as goodas someone who dedicates the majority of their skill training towards one particular skill.
The other is the lifeskills system or LIFESKILLS/Life Skills etc etc.
The life skills can be trained by anyone to any level without affecting one another. Life skills are unlike trade skills in that they have very little to offer from a commercial point of view. I have previously gone over Foraging, the life skill used to search for food and seeds in plants and trees. The second life skill we will be adding to the game will be the Fishing lifeskill.
Fishing involes standing in/by a river with a spear and trying to spear or grab fish. Like Foraging, Fishing has a tradeskill equivalent.
Foraging can be expanded upon in the Farming tradeskill and is called Harvesting.
Fishing can be expanded upon in the Angling tradeskill.
Angling is more commercial because you can fish from the shore and lakes which gives you the chance for much much bigger and better fish. Even a high level Fishing skill won’t guarantee you a fish as its based on luck as well. Once again, Fishing is about feeding yourself and your friends.
