Fisherman

You've got all you need, so let's get started. Put down whatever you're holding, equip your fishing rod and go to the closest water source, either river or sea. Shoals of fish can be seen as dark shadows moving along the surface of the water. Click on one of these groups of shadows and select the action ''Fish''. You can't fish for one fish at a time, and nothing guarantees that you'll get a bite. If you do manage to catch something, it'll go straight into your inventory.

When you start practicing your profession, you'll only be able to catch one type of fish: Small fish (river or sea). You will randomly catch one of the following - Grawn, Crab Stick or Breaded Fish, if you get anything at all! Once you get a little experience under your belt, you can move on to other fish. The list below tells you the different types of fish along with the level you require to be able to catch them:

• Small River and Sea Fish (level 1+)


• River Fish (level 10+)


• Sea Fish (level 20+)


• Big River Fish (level 40+)


• Big Sea Fish (level 50+)


• Giant River Fish (level 70+)


• Giant Sea Fish (level 75+)

The probability of catching something also depends on the time of day and the number of other players on the map. The more people there are the more the fish will be inclined to hide in the deep water.

Tip: Gaining experience is not easy for fishermen, because you have to actually catch a fish, and you won't always succeed in doing this. You should go to the Schwimming pool of Sufokia (15,25) to gain experience quickly at the beginning but to do this, you'll need a rod. You can rent a Fishing Rod for Snapper from Mer to do just this and then go get some training done at the basin. The Contest Snappers you fish aren't useful for anything at all, but at least you'll catch one every time!

You never know when one of your peaceful fishing trips will be interrupted by a Fish Devourer... what is this? It's a resource protector, and if you kill it, you'll drop 50 units of fish! When you think about how long it takes to catch ten of the things, you'll realise what a good thing this can be!

So you've cleared whole rivers of everything but water snakes and weed? You've more fish than you could ever possibly eat? Well then, you can either get yourself to the nearest Marketplace and sell your meat as it is, or try to add some value to your catch and gut the fish. In case you didn't know, you are trained to do this too! You just have to go to a fisherman's Workshop.
