Fish

The aquatic life of Wurm

Yum! Fish make a tasty treat when cooked! They can also be eaten raw.

Fishweight is based on its QL. For each fish species there is a multiplier for this formula: QL rounded off to one decimal * multiplier

Minimum QL you can catch is 10.9 QL

fish	minimum weight	multiplier	rod damage*
Brook trout	0.33kg	0.03	2
Carp	2.72kg	0.25	3
Catfish	1.74kg	0.16	4
Herring	0.03kg	0.003	0
Perch	0.05kg	0.005	1
Pike	0.65kg	0.06	4
Roach	0.02kg	0.002	0
Smallmouth bass	0.44kg	0.04	2

Blue Shark	4.36kg	0.4	1
Dorado	3.27kg	0.3	1
Marlin	21.80kg	2	1
Octopus	1.09kg	0.1
Sailfish	1.09kg
Tuna	6.54kg	0.6	1

* = damage on the fishing rod is based on the fish weight.

Formula: weight divided by 3 and multiplied with the shown damage multiplier, then rounded down to one decimal.

Note that it can happen to get +/- 0.10 damage in seldom cases.

Above a certain level in fishing a roll seems to decide if you get damage on the rod or not. The damage stays the same.

Fish Calculator excel and Fish Calculator on google docs is a calculator to aid you in working out min fish fillets for a larger amount of fish.

Fish decay extremely rapidly after a few hours in your inventory and out of water. To slow the decay of Fish, store in a barrel with water.
Look for fish swimming in deeper water for better and bigger fish.
A boat is necessary to fish in the middle of an ocean or lake.
If you plan a longer fishing run, choose satchels or backpacks to store the fish, higher ql fish have exponential rising volumes - a 66ql carp doesnt fit in a small barrel, but 94 white sharks at 10.9ql fit in a satchel.
Smaller fish are excellent to use as taming meat, as they are usually very high quality.
