How to Fish[]
You can either fish on land by facing the water, or anywhere at sea. You can also buy bait from an item merchant (the ones that sell clothes) and use it the same fashion that you use the skill.
There are as of yet 3 different baits. Using these wil not raise your Fishing Skill.
- Bait
- Normal bought at every Shopkeeper.
- Probably lowest rate of catching fish and common fishes are caught.
- Live bait
- Get it from sunken ship from maps or maybe buy later in game. Also obtained as a reward for some Adventurer-type quests.
- Higher catching rate and rarer fish caught.
- Fishing Net
- Consumable item with durability.
- Same as Live Bait, eg.: Higher catching rate and rarer fish caught.
- Fishing Skill - best thing to use
- On land: You will cast 4x, while on land like in city. Just stand near water and activate your skill. Caught fish will be automatically exchanged for cash, the price will be between ¼-⅛ of shop price.
- On sea: You will auto-recast the skill until your Vigour is depleted.
- Can't be used in Port.
- Only increases skill level when you successfully catch fish.
The "Catch"[]
Yeah it's a pun.
- Syracuse is the best fishing hole in the mediterranean. It is said that the only place that is better is near the Calicutt.
- It takes longer to catch something in the ocean.
- What you catch in towns will be automatically exchanged for money. It'll be at a lower market price than if you sold something you caught from the sea.
- Poisonous fish will be thrown back into the water.
- What you catch in the ocean is rarer than on land (so far anyway).
- You can make Provisions out of the Fish on the fly at sea. Higher level fish covert into more food. For instance, one Spanish Mackerel (which requires level 5 storage to process) is worth seven food provisions.
- By buying book from Shopkeeper in major port cities (Fisherman Arts- Preservation Methods, requires Storage 1) you can process caught fish into "Fish" which sells for more Ducats.
- At higher levels you start to catch more than one fish at a time, experience less line breaks and receive more hits, you will also begin to catch new better fish.
- Fish are location specific
- It is possible to discover Marine creatures and shipwreck map pieces while using this skill.
