I can not fish, nor can I mine copper ore. Those are the only things I have tried so far. I use the fishing rod on the water where the sign is telling you how to fish. It says I have cast my line and I can stop at anytime. I usually wait 3 mins before hitting stop. I only click the water once, I dont do anything else while waiting except talk. Others can fish but I cannot. Same story with the nearby copper ore stone.
I dont get any messages after it says I have cast my line or I am gathering resources. I think the longest I waited was 10 mins.
