Fishing on two or more accounts at same time..

[Maxion]

Indeed, and if you really want to make money fishing you'd probably have to either just fish for fish feast fish in WG, or various locations in northrend for just the high level fish, or travel around all areas to not saturate any part of the market too much.
Or simply fish in multiple locations at once, which would be handy and cool, though would make travel more tedious and less convenient, but would at least keep each char's bobbers and splashes from interfering with each other, having only one bobber on each window makes it easier to see which ones got the bites.

Yeah i ahve tryed to level my other chars fishing i find it fast paced... which imo makes fishing less of a grind

So I was waiting for a ToGC to be filled for my main shammie and had my other shammies running with me in Dalaran. I bought them some fishing gear at the fishing spot and trained them. Then I made one macro because I figured fishing was a channeling spell.

/stopmacro [channeling]
/cast fishing

dragged it to my first actionbar position under 1.

So when I press 1 a few times or mash it like crazy it doenst recast on the active fishers..

I then took a long straight walk to the pool to make sure the followers where in exact the same line. Moved the camera to the same position (I dont have any setcamera macros so used default home and end bind). Then moved the chars all on the same spot and switched between screens to see if they lined up. Almost exactly the same. Only problem is my male shammies are taller so there was a little difference in that. Move the camera on them a bit manually. Then check, check double check and started casting my rods.

Put on mouse broadcasting across all screens and just pressed 1 everytime I took one down. This was a fun game for a moment and a decent way to make money if I get them skilled up. Sometimes they hit the same spot and if you catch one on one char the other will find no fish because you haul it in too early. But you will not miss any active bites. Thanks for spawning this thread and making me interested to see what was possible.

I tried this out myself today.

I thought it would be easier, but having issues with it actually.

My shaman group is a mixed race / sec group.

I have a female orc, male orc, x2 female trolls, and a female tauren.

I can't seem to line up the camera exactly on all the toons so which I go to click a bobber with IsBoxer mouse broadcasting turned on, I miss.


So what is the best way to make the perspective on all toons exactly the same so when I click on bobber on the main screen is click the same bobber on the slave screen?

[Ualaa]

Probably a:

/script SetView(4);SetView(4)

While having each of the toons stacked on top of each other, or as close to standing on the same spot as possible.
You can save the views if you like... and I believe Sam showed a way to edit them in the Config.wtf file, so that's an option too.
