Fishing

Trains on how to catch fish, what pole or bait to use, what time of day makes for the best catch.

General information: Fishing no longer works as it used to be, It is now a fully functional mini game where even the chat is not seen in the screen, so the new way of fishing is given as follows:

• For fishing, you solely need a fishing rod, a bait and a place to fish.
• Take the fishing rod in your right hand and a 1 bait or stack of 65 baits go to a place and right click on the water to start fishing mini game.
• As /fish does currently not work so no point of making a shortcut for it.
• You can find a list of places further down this page.
• Unlike other jobs no books are required for fishing, but you need a book for making the baits.
• The Baits book can be obtained from a quest, starting with Burdess, the fishing merchant lady in Hydlaa. Quest name "The Distractions of a youth", a video for the quest is in this url "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-yEPVEdgVc"
• You can boost your fishing skill by wearing 'Waterkin' jewellery (max 32 lvl).
• Use the repeatable quest Fishing lessons for fish to get easy training in fishing. Kzavu asks you to bring him different amounts of certain fishes to level up your fishing skill. The higher your current level, the more complicated the delivery becomes.
• Now your level does not give more fish as was in earlier times. That is no 2 fishes in 1 catch at level 40 or 3 fishes in 1 catch at level 60.
• The fishes you will catch is determined by your fishing level and the rarity of the bait used.
• When you start the fishing mini game, there will be instructions on how to fish. 'c' to throw the line and w,a,s,d to counter move the blob.
• The basic technique is after you throw the line with c, 2 times the blob will glow with a lighted circular ring, which will start with a big circle and shrink to the blobs size and vanish.. You have to click 'w' before the lighted ring disappear, and quickly after that follow the movement of the blob and counter its movement to opposite direction with w,a,s,d, known as counter keys in the fishing mini game.
• When you catch a fish, it will automatically go into your inventory, and even while you are holding the rod with the fish dangling, you can press 'c' to again throw the line to catch another fish
• The fishing game will go on as long as you have the Bait in your hand. then you can click the big 'X' button on the top right of the game screen.
• 1st important tip -- click the counter keys only when the lighted ring glows in the blob
• 2nd important tip -- Don't do any activity other than fishing when you are holding the fishing rod and are out of the fishing mini game. It will make you bugged.
