'''Fishing''' is the skill of catching [[fish]]. The skill It affects the types of fish you get and caught, their weight, and your overall success rate in catching fish.

==Method == Characteristic gained ====Soul / [[Soul depth]]'''Standing on Land:'''

* Right -click on a fully submerged [[water tile]] within 3 tiles of you or the [[boat]] tile on which you are standing instand.* Select ''"Fish''".

== Types '''Embarked on Boat:''' * Activate the fishing rod or fine fishing rod* Right-click a fully submerged water tile within 3 tiles of fish ==the [[boat]] and select "Fish". Another option, with the fishing rod activated, is to simply right-click the boat itself and select "Fish".

You can get better fish in deeper water. This water depth '''Note''' - When fishing by boat, due to the forces of wind and current, it is often necessary for the same depth that first triggers captain to either moor the "Out to Sea" achievement. Past that point special fishing tiles, usually found boat with an [[Lurker in the deepanchor]] pendulum, begin showing up quite frequentlyor disembark and then re-embark as a passenger. Special fishing tiles do not move/disappear on their own. The tiles This will change to a different special fish type at secure the beginning of a season change. Tiles can disappear if the terrain around them is modified. Heavier fish also cause your line to snap more frequently (possible based on line quality boat from further movement and/or skill level). Losing fish to line breaks reduces your catch rate, but generally then make fishing in deep water is better than shallowpossible.

Some shore == Types of fish can also be caught out in ocean waters, usually at a higher quality than they would be found closer to shore. Typically the lighter fish are much easier to catch at high quality, with q50+ roach and perch being not uncommon even for a beginning fisher. High ql catfish on the other hand will be quite rare at the beginning.==

  '''Note''' - The higher the quality of the fish, the more weight the fish will have. Each species has a weight-to-quality ratio. For example, a high quality roach will likely never outweigh any quality of catfish. == Special Fishing Tiles ==  In certain locations, far out at sea, one can find what are known as "special fishing tiles". These tiles are special because of their relatively low number Wurm-wide as well as the special types of fish which can be found there.  * Special fishing tiles do not move/disappear on their own. * The tiles will change with the seasons to produce different special fish types. This occurs at the beginning of a [[Time of wurm|season change]].* Aside from blind searching and perhaps some luck, a [[Lurker in the deep]] pendulum can be used to locate these special tiles.* Special fishing tiles can disappear if the terrain around them is modified. == Rarity in Fishing==  

=== '''Fish==='''  * Rare rolls are occur at the "Something Bites" event message.

At this point you have a chance to actually catch the fish, have your line snap, or have the fish get away.  * At lower fishing skills skill, you may lose these fish more often than at higher skill levels. These fish are also slightly heavier than a regular fish of the same quality leveland species. You  * Rare fish can use them be used in meals, but they will not make the meal rare nor .  * Butchering rare fish will butchering them not give rare fillets.  * They may be sacrificed at an altar for a refresh like all other rares.  '''Fine Fishing Rod'''  * Takes slightly less damage. * Increases the average weight of fish caught. * Increases catching frequency.

===[[Fine fishing rod]]===* Take slightly less damage.* Increase the average weight of fish caught.* Increase catching frequency.* Increase Increases the chance at catching unique fish at special fishing spots.

* Catching heavier fish comes with a higher chance of line breakage.  * Some shore fish can also be caught out in ocean waters, usually at a higher quality than they would be found closer to shore.  * Typically, lighter fish are much easier to catch at high quality, with q50+ roach and perch not being uncommon for even a beginning fisher.  * You can get better fish in deeper water. This water depth is the same depth that first triggers the "Out to Sea" achievement. * Larger fish start giving less than 1 fillet per 0.3 kg, and cap at 50 fillets per fish. Max fillets This max cap tends to happen occur at around the 15 kg mark, but may is also thought to be possibly related to the [[butchering]] skill. 

 * Fishing The fishing skill itself goes up as you fish(as the fishing action timer runs), not when you catch upon individual catches. Fishing will also provide the player with gains in the fisharea of Soul/[[Soul depth]]. 

 * It is possible to make a fishing pond fish underground and inside a caveof caves, but you will only catch some types the available species of fish. * [[Lurker in the deep]] cast on a [[pendulum]] found here will help you find good fishing spots for rare fish like white shark.* Small fish can often be caught at high quality and make excellent taming foods for tough meat eating creatures as a resultlimited.
