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
- Activate the fishing rod or fine fishing rod
- Right click on water tile or a boat you are sailing
- Select Fish.
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.
Types of Fish
The higher the quality of the fish, the more weight the fish will have. Each species has a weight to quality ratio. A high quality roach will likely never outweigh any quality of catfish for example.
You can get better fish in deeper water. This water depth is the same depth that first triggers the "Out to Sea" achievement. Past that point special fishing tiles, usually found with Lurker in the deep pendants, begin showing up quite frequently. These fish are always the same weight, and even at low skill fishing on a White shark or Marlin tile can double your total kg of fish intake per hour easily.
Some shore fish can also be caught out in ocean waters, usually at a higher quality than they would be found closer to shore.
Shore Fish:
Ocean Fish
Special tile fish:
- Octopus - 1.09kg
- Sailfish - 1.09kg(?)
- Tuna - (?)
- Dorado - 3.27kg
- Blue shark - 4.36kg
- Marlin - 21.8kg
- White shark 21.8kg
Notes
- Fishing in deeper is always better.
- Fishing skill goes up as you fish, not when you catch the fish.
- Fishing is close to impossible in small pools (less than 4x4) of water.
- It is possible to make a fishing pond inside a cave, but you will only catch some types of fish.
- Lurker in the deep cast on a pendulum will help you find good fishing spots for rare fish like white shark.
