Fishing
Harvesting · Skill guide
Catch fish and other finds from different waters. Maximum skill: 100; useful alongside Cooking.
Summary
- Use: Double-click a fishing pole and select water; move when the spot is depleted.
- Ordinary shore fishing can train the skill; a boat is not required for gains.
- Deep water and temporary fish schools change catch opportunities, not the skill cap.
Training
Set Fishing to Up ↑ and leave room under your 720 total skill cap.
| Skill Range | Recommended Activity |
|---|---|
| 0–50 | Buy an optional lesson from a Fisherman for 300 gold; it raises this skill directly to 50.0. |
| 50–100 | Keep fishing at water with resources remaining. |
Right-click the teacher NPC, select the skill’s training entry, then give 300 gold. You need a skill cap of at least 50 and room for the entire lesson under your total cap.
Mechanics & Scaling
Every catch stores species, rarity, fractional weight, fisher, date, map and location. Schools last 10–15 minutes or 6–10 delivered catches, improve Rare/Epic odds by a 1.25 relative multiplier and add up to 4% weight. An account qualifies for the Monday 00:00 Europe/Rome competition with 25 valid catches; the weekly objective rotates among Heaviest Catch, Species, Rare Catch and Total Weight, with dynamic gold prizes based on qualified accounts. First place also receives a permanent Champion Trophy. Read /systems/fishing for the complete rules. Rare-or-better or exceptionally large fish can become ordinary trophy deeds; carving yields four steaks.
Additional rules & notes
- Fishing competition results and qualification follow their separate account rules.
Location & Instructors
- Trainer NPC: Fisherman NPC to 50.0; the Fisherman also sells basic bait.
