Fishing

Fishing is a Gathering Skill used to collect marine items from fishing school.

🎣 How to Fish

Fishing requires the following:

3 Stamina
A Fishing Rod
An active Fishing School

Fishing School are commonly found around Neo-Tilus, and can now also spawn in Virelda and Minamoto following the latest update.

Fishing Process:

Stand near a fishing school and click it to cast your line
Wait for the fish to fully bite, then press Spacebar to hook

Pressing Spacebar early will scare the fish away

Use A and D or ← and → to reel in the fish

Keep the green bar over the fish to wear it down and fill up the progress bar
The bar will turn red when not over the fish, causing it to resist and wear down the progress bar

If you succeed to fill up the progress bar:

Gain 1 marine item
Lose 3 Stamina

If you fail to fill up the progress bar:

The fish escapes
No Stamina is lost

Tip: Equipping the Fishing Magnet (rewarded from a quest) allows the player to catch quest-related items.
