Main / Skills / Nature / Fishing

Description

Fishing is the skill of catching fish. The skill affects the types of fish you get and their weight.

Characteristic gained

Soul / Soul depth

Method

You can only fish on tiles that are fully submerged under water.

You cannot fish while swimming or standing on a water tile. What you need to stand on is a tile that is half above and half below water, and not so steep that you cannot stand on it without sliding in. Then stand on the part that is not submerged and fish the adjacent tile which is fully submerged. Note that you can also fish from a tile 2 - 3 tiles away from you rather than just the closest tile.

Alternatively you can use a boat: Head out to deep water, activate your fishing rod, right click on your boat and select Fish. Note that you will probably have to moor the boat first or it will drift too far to complete the action. It may help to embark on the boat as passenger rather than commander.
