Fishing

Getting started

Find fishing spots along the shore. Examine a spot to check its tool and catches.

Cook your catch for expedition food, sell it, or mount a deep-sea catch on your wall.

Why train it?

More Fishing improves catch chances and opens more kinds of fish.

Raw shrimp: 1 GC each at the Smith or Kitchen, 1 GC at the general store. Cook catches for a higher sale price if your Cooking is ready; account for burning and travel time. Rare fish are not a guaranteed catch.

Maximum level: 99. Open Skills in the game to see your current XP and next goal.
