Fishing

[edit | edit source]

Fishing is a gathering skill for catching fish and other aquatic creatures from rivers, swamps, seas and frozen lakes. The catch is a major food source for Cooking; Alchemy doesn't use fish as an ingredient, but it brews potions — Angler's Brew, Angler's Luck — that speed up and improve the catch instead. Fishing needs no bait or inputs — choose a fishing spot and cast.

How to progress

[edit | edit source]

Each catch grants Fishing experience and raises your Fishing level, unlocking larger and rarer fish that give more XP but take longer to land. Run the highest-level spot you can reach to progress fastest.

Many species are found only in a specific biome reached through Expeditions; you must be in the listed biome to fish there. Spots with no biome listed are available from the start, with one exception: Catch Stormfish needs no biome but only appears during a Storm or Rain weather window. Rain also speeds up every catch by 10%, and the Frost season adds a standing +5%.
