I currently started playing in Demise (freeshard) again and I was thinking in making a fisher and use it to get some gold.
On average how much money can a fisherman make an hour for example, is it still a worthy profession?
-
I can not say anything about a free shard but i assume its population is very simliary to population on my shard and i can say hands down fishing and crabbing are very profitable. crabs and lobsters are a huge huge income to me, and its just free gold with sos bottles and loot. I am very very pleased with the amount of gold i have made from fishing in the past two months.

Not anymore. White pearls sell, the fish do not so much. The hype of the new quest items is over

Depending.. i made 40 Mils with SOS bottles by farming those with a script and autohunt on a freeshard.. Can be worth, depending on what you are looking..
-
Did you got those 40kk from the gold or did you had to sell back some of the stuff to players?
Also would do you think you would make more money by spending the same time mining or cutting trees?

Gold from SOS Bottles.. The shard i play as well offers an extended Fishing System compared to Lexia, so i can trade raw fish into library, doing SOS Bottles and collect reagents\money incredients etc and sell all you get.
I think Mining\Lumberjacking is more lucrative... see you..

Id agree with Crome. There is gold to be made fishing, but if your looking to make the most gold, your time is better spent mineing or lumberjacking. I'd suggest mineing, preferably in ter mur for the extra ingreds. Sell ingots to players, use ingots to fill bods for pof, sell pof to players.

i wasnt counting the SOS. that market is still good. i was referring to selling the actual fish
-
Fishing tanked a while ago. So badly that I never bothered to finish fishing up the 10 million turn-in points I need for a Brit Boat.
You can make decent gold from the SOS autofarmer, though.

I dont know depends on your shard, my shard we have about 8 to 10 loyal fishermand and i can honestly say i have made a mint of them just from crabs and lobsters, they been asking for dungeon and shore fish and now that i have those up and running i expect to make more. Best of all i will get the 120 scrolls from them a whole lot cheaper then what they are paying for the fish to get them :)
As far as SOS portion - yeah you get anywhere from 10k to i think its 30k or more from chests plus the loot. If memory serves i think they removed scrolls from the chests but please dont say it with accuracy i havent been paying attention. I use the legs ( artifact ones ) to make some great imbue suits out of and sell very nicely on vendors.
Mining and Lumberjacking is dead on my shard, i did it for two weeks straight and no one purchased a thing, played with prices etc, no one was interested in it except for heartwood. Now the carp kits those sell like hot cakes. I put one up its gone 10 minutes later thanks to UO source.

Ok so mining might be profitable if I have people to buy my ingots. With fishing I would get gold directly and a few other goodies no?
Seems to me there are always more miners in a shard than fishermen.
-
I tried selling crabs on my shard, I didn't have any bitters for over 2 months I ended up pulling my crabs from the vendor.. :(
-
Well if you search for any fishing power scrolls you will see they are worth alot and there are very few people selling them... I found only 2 120 fishing powerscrolls for sale n they were both 20+ mil each...

yes, prices are rebounding now that folks have slacked on the grind of doing quests but also less folks are buying the scrolls. overall selling fish and crabs is slow at best. it use to be sick! SOS and pearls still do well
