Ice Fishing has been introduced for the Frozen Tundra region
Use an icepick on the frozen lakes and river in Frozen Tundra to dig a fishing hole to fish from
Icepicks are sold by Fish Broker/Fishermen vendors in Frozen Tundra
Ice Fishing has chances to yield special fishing loot that can only be obtained in Frozen Tundra, as well as special holiday items only available for a short time
There may be some hungry wildlife to compete with so be prepared to put up a fight if needed

The LOA In-Game Macro System Has Been Added[edit | edit source]
The /macro command can now be used to open the in-game macro system
This will help with repeating actions in many cases
Some minor improvements have been added like the shortcut button to Custom Action (same as /custom command)
Fishing now yields fish of different sizes, larger sized fish being more difficult to catch
Regular sized fish are stackable, but larger sized fish will not be stackable as they have varying weights
Fishing loots have been refreshed; fishing will now yield a few types of Clothing, Reagents, Prized Fish, Fishing Nets and Message(s) in a Bottle
Prized Fish types have been introduced into the general fishing loots, these act similarly to a potion giving a temporary bonus in stats or refreshment when eaten
Animated schools of fish will no longer spawn, or if they do they are just decorative and will not yield anything special
Fishing treasure chests can no longer be fished up via normal fishing activity, instead you will now have a chance to obtain a Message in a Bottle which will contain an SOS treasure map
SOS maps now show general direction towards treasure, and a map window when deciphering them giving you some idea as to where the treasure is located
Fishers are required to have at least 65 Fishing skill (add 5 for each level of difficulty) to fish up SOS maps
When attempting to fish up an SOS there will be a chance to spawn some creatures or loot recovered from a shipwreck
Sunken treasure chests are now created directly in the Fisher's backpack, and are locked and trapped, requiring lockpicking to open them
Fishing with a pole no longer yields sea creature spawns unless fishing up an SOS
Fishing Nets can be used in normal water (in the future this will be moved to Deep Water) for a chance to spawn some sea creatures
Fishing Nets can now be used to fish in normal waters for a chance at spawning sea creatures or a higher chance at some fishing loots (this will change to require Deep Water in the future when we have ships)
Fishing Nets are now stackable
Fishing Nets now come in an array of colors, some rarer than others; at this time color is just cosmetic for collecting, and does affect anything else
Fishing creatures have been refreshed and their respective loots updated
