Fishing

Fishing
The Fishing skill allows you to craft a Fishing Pole and a Fishing Rod to fish for different types of fish.

After you've crafted a fishing pole you need to equip a line (any string), a hook (bone or metal) and a bait (intestines/entrails, grubs, bugs or ants). Then simply use the fishing skill found in the adventure tab on a water mass with a fishing node (if fishes are jumping in the water, there's a node there).

It seems like most fishes give int FEPs and/or another type of FEP in Hafen unlike Legacy Haven.

Fishing

Cost: 200 "'The fathom give nothing,""Yield not a single thing,""But to the fishermens' snares'"You have mastered some basic fishing techniques, and can craft rods, poles, hooks, and lures.

There are two types of fishing: Rod and pole. Pole fishing uses various forms of live or fleshy bait -- such as earthworms, entrails, or ants -- whereas Rod fishing uses lures. Fishing poles catch fish immediately whenever they bite, but the more demanding Rod fishing rather required you to actually land the Fish by figuring out the many riddles of the sport. The truly rare fish of the world are caught with rods.
