How to macro fishing effectively

[Cecil of Napa Valley]

Hi - I'm an old UO vet turned noob due to memory decay. Just started on IPY this week.

I understand AFK fishing at shore is a good way to get some starter money for training a new char, but want to make sure I'm macroing as efficiently as possible.

Anyone have any detailed advice on how to create the best macro in Razor, plus the best locations to macro?

Also somewhat related - I've seen that players can share razor macros - how do you load these?

Thanks for any feedback. Excited to get involved with IPY. (just need to make some gold for regs

try and fish two tiles in one macro. make sure you use hiding. eat the small fish in the middle of the macro. you can also cut up the fish in the mcro if you want to carry more. Also, move to a fishing town.
The macro should look like this
Use skill hiding
double click pole
target the first tile
pause
double click small fish by type
double click pole
target the second tile
pause
loop

Thanks Zoidberg - good tip to eat the small fish mid-macro.

Where are the good spots for fishing ? I'm also looking for a way to get some money to buy regs and raise my main char.
Thanks in advance for your help,

What's the point of hiding ? Sorry for the noob questions too, played a lot UO on Europa more than 10 years ago and forgot a lot ...

One last question, what skills do you advise to take when creating the char ?
Thanks again,

Hiding prevents you from being seen. So you can macro all day without being killed. On my main fisherman I use a combo of provoke and peace along with magery. I beleibe his temp is fish/mage/med/eval/music/provoke/peace. When creating the char, you can do a few diffrent things. Some people start with 50 magery/50 fishing. but since fishing is easy to raise you dont really have to start at 50. Sorry if this was confusing.

As for good spots, your just gonna have to find thme
