Fishing

Fishing takes you to one of 25 physical sites across five regions. Each site has its own fish, bait and cooldown.

Regions

There are five regions with five sites each: Riverlands, Deep Forest, High Frontier, Northern Trail and West March. Every water body has at least one fishing spot. The Brook Fisher works the mill pond.

What you need

• A fishing rod. The rod wears with use, so keep it repaired at the forge.
• Bait. Sites take one, two or three bait per cast, depending on the site.
• Bait and fish are ordinary inventory items. Fish you catch stay in your inventory and can be eaten.

Sites, cooldowns and quality

• Each site has a cooldown after a catch, from 3 minutes at the quickest sites to 10 minutes at the slowest.
• Higher-quality sites take more bait and more time, and give better fish.
• Fishing trains the Scavenging skill. The amount of skill gained depends on the bait used.

Tips

• Start at the Riverlands sites. They have the shortest cooldowns and need the least bait.
• Carry spare bait before you walk out to the far regions, because a trip back to town costs time.
