Has anyone ever taken the time to level fishing in EQ on p99 or live? What does it do and how is it beneficial?

I did on live. Just got a bunch of bait/foraged grubs and spammed it while I was LFG. A few tradeskill quests require a fished item, and you can get some decent food in velious. Not good for much else that I know of.

It's a good source of rusty daggers for pets.

It's very much just for amusement. There really isn't more to do with it until PoP.

Some quests need fishing.

Like in Plane of Meischief, you fish a set of cod cards out of the moat to turn in for another quest item.

GMs did a Fishing Event probably about 9-10 months ago... Back when Lord Uth still loved us
