105 Powerscrolls and Fishing

[jpfdx]

First... Do 105 PS still drop... I never see them on Vendors?

Second, I do not see much fishing stuff in GL.. NO SOS bottles for sale? Fishing Nets? Nothing... Is fishing just unpopular?

105 scrolls still drop at champ spawns but most people don't keep them. Some guilds drop them at Haven bank every now and then.

Some people drop even 110 scrolls at the bank.

A lot of the fishing stuff got removed from the market, from the "recovered from a shipwreck" items being worth 250 points each in the recently completed "Spring Cleaning" (that lasted all summer). It will be a while before people's stock of fishing items (loot and SOS, Nets, etc.) recovers. People decorating their houses are especially feeling the pinch, seeing how pillows and the paintings/portraits disappeared from the market for a half-year.

Is fishing just unpopular?

I dont think so ... especially on GL. (Theres one of the greatest ... if not THE greatest ... fishing guilds of UO based.) Its simply not really profitable.(Except for the turn in ... but thats another story.) Before the turn in, sos messages went for about 250gp. MIBs were very seldom sold course it could turn out into an asos. Fishing up sos is somewhat time intensiv and the chest rewards and the demand for shipwreck items was very low. While I enjoy going fishing from time to time I dont like going after sos messages too much. Its similar to those fished up lvl 1 treasure maps. Not many care about them.
