Fishing
Gathering skillFishing is the skill of catching fish at fishing spots. Each catch grants Fishing experience and one raw fish, which can be cooked into food.
Alpha guide. All values on this page are current Alpha data. Additional catches and methods will be added during development.
Mechanics
Each fishing spot offers one or more methods. A method requires a specific tool, a minimum Fishing level, and — for some methods — bait, which is consumed one per catch. Each action channels for a fixed time, then grants XP and the raw fish.
All skills use the same experience curve. Level 100 is skill mastery (955,336 XP); level 999 is legendary mastery (253,245,203 XP). See the experience table for the full curve.
Methods
| Method | Level | XP | Catch | Tool | Bait per catch | Catch time | Max XP/hour |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Net | 1 | 2 | Raw Shrimps | Small Fishing Net | None | 3.0s | 2,400 |
| Bait | 5 | 3 | Raw Sardine | Fishing Rod | 1 Fishing Bait | 4.0s | 2,700 |
| Lure | 20 | 7 | Raw Trout | Fly Fishing Rod (level 20) | 1 Feather | 4.0s | 6,300 |
Rates are theoretical maximums: 3,600 seconds ÷ action time × XP per action, ignoring respawn and travel time.
Training
| Levels | Method | XP needed | Catches |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1–5 | Net | 533 | 267 |
| 5–20 | Bait | 2,282 | 761 |
| 20–100 | Lure | 952,521 | 136,075 |
- Fishing Bait and Feathers stack to 10,000, so a single inventory slot of each covers long sessions. Buy enough before leaving a town.
- Lure fishing at level 20 is more than double the XP rate of bait fishing; switch as soon as you have a Fly Fishing Rod.
- Every current catch has a matching Cooking recipe at the same tier (Shrimps 1, Sardine 5, Trout 15). Cooking your catches trains both skills from one trip.
