Getting Started with Fishing
Obtaining Fishing Equipment
To begin your fishing journey, you'll need:
- A fishing rod
- Fishing hook
You can obtain these items through:
- Completing ‣ Raiding the Raiders quest
- Start it by talking to an NPC in Margrove
- Purchasing them from the marketplace
💡 Pro tip: While you can buy basic equipment from NPCs, it's often more cost-effective to purchase from other players on the ‣ Marketplace
Basic Fishing Mechanics
- Locate a fishing spot (look for the ‣ hook symbol on the water)
- Right click the fishing spot to cast the line
- Wait for the Wait for fish bar to fill
- Once a fish is hooked, a fishing rod interface will appear
Understanding the Fishing Interface
The fishing interface consists of several elements:
- Progress Bar: Fill this to catch the fish
- Rod Durability (Red Meter): If this fills completely, you'll lose the fish
- Line Tension (White Meter): If this fills, you'll also lose the fish
- Blue Fish Timer: A buff increasing your fishing damage
- Red Fish Timer: A debuff increasing rod durability loss
Fishing Minigame
- Start with a "Basic Reel" to deal initial damage
- Use "Basic Reel" consistently
- During red timer, use "Give Slack" and weaker abilities
- Monitor rod durability and use "Give Slack" if it gets too high
💡 Pro tip: On higher level, alternating between Big Reel and Basic Reel is generally effective, but adjust your strategy based on the specific fish and your skill level
Selling Your Catch
To sell your fish:
- Locate a Fish Post (found in most city docks)
- Speak to the ‣ Fishbroker Munk
- Choose to either sell fish for ‣ Silver or cut them into raw materials for Crafting
💡 Pro tip: Check market prices for materials. Sometimes, processing the fish before selling can yield higher profits
