Holding Fishing rods + weapons

[Commodore Axavious]

I recall the ability to hold a 1-handed weapon and a fishing rod in the same hand, back on OSI. Not sure at what point in my 4 year experience back then this happened. Anyone know if this was specifically out of era? Should we have this here? We currently don't.

Should work as far as I know. I think fishing rods were on a seperate layer and not left or right hand. You shouldnt be able to arm/disarm them with the clients arm/disarm l/r hand macro either.

Fishing poles were really left-handed, they just showed in the paperdoll as right-handed. You could not equip a shield and a fishing pole for example, nor a two-handed weapon. Fishing poles also worked for parry (same as torches and I think lanterns) -- none of which seem to work here.

You have *always* been able to equip a one-handed weapon and a fishing pole at the same time.

Yesterday I paged a GM about this. No GM being there, a counsellor came (I
forgot his name, but he was very nice). Well, he explained me that fishing
pole are second hand items (like shields, etc...) So that's normal you can
equip a fishing pole and a one handed weapon, just as you would equip a
shield and a sword. The problem is that the paperdoll and the in-game
animation are showing the fishing pole in the wrong hand. Well, that's not a
BIG bug, though, OSI should deal with more important thing before that.
Maybe in 6 years, when UO3 will be bug free?

fishing pole is equiped in left hand (like shield) but shows in right hand.

ps. it also raises parrying if you fight with it in your hand

Doesnt raise it FAST for some reason it counts as a shield. So does a
fishing pole BTW.
