Strong fishing rod lineage 2. Update Helios, Lord of Bifrost. That's all, happy fishing

I’ll say right away that I never had the perseverance (stability) to stand by the river for hours and fish, although a couple of times Volodya AKA pulled me out to big fishing, where we competed to see who could catch the most fish, and only then did I find out that he was a bastard fishing on a boat. But, nevertheless, since fishing was added to the game, some are interested in it, and some even get stuck on it for hours.

Why is fishing necessary? The main thing is to obtain Proof of Catching a Fish items, which are needed to expand your inventory, increase slots for trading, etc. We, as crafters, primarily need them to increase the slots in the crafting book, since with the standard 50 slots you won’t get far.

Well, an additional prize in fishing will be the crafting of all kinds of accessories, some of them are quite rare. Yes, it also involves selling white fish to all sorts of incompetents, which is necessary for passing some third profs. Well, there are also a bunch of fish recipes with a nasty green color, which are sold in all clan halls, with which you can craft items sold by Mammon and Nosy, including Mammon paints +4 -4.

In essence, if we discard the ritual of throwing a fishing rod into the sea-ocean, fish are the same mobs, and with the help of a special weapon (fishing rod) and fish nipples you beat these mobs. As soon as the fish’s life bar reaches zero, the fish is considered caught and will be in your inventory. You will need to gut it (double click on the fish), and depending on the color of the fish and its name you will receive some kind of drop. Well, or you won’t get it, but you will hear a characteristic “zilch”, which means that there was nothing in the fish. The most annoying thing is that there can be a lot of such fluff; I once had 12 failures in a row. These received items are either exchanged by the men for fish tickets or used to craft accessories or items.

Let's start for those who don't know anything about fishing at all. In order to fish, you need water (any place where, if you go into the water, a red underwater breath bar appears), a fishing rod, bait, and optional fishing nipples.

All this can be purchased from fat men with the inscription Fishing Guild Member, standing in every city, usually in a grossery shop, but sometimes in locations (one of these stands in the central clearing in).

Let’s look at what the man offers us, item by menu item:

1. Chat about fishing. Doesn't oblige you to anything.

2. Learn to fish. At this point, not only fishing skills are available for learning, but also expanding your inventory, etc.

Basic fishing skills:

Fishing is the main fishing skill. Active. With its help, you throw a fishing rod into the river (not the fishing rod itself, although that would also be cool when a desperate fisherman throws a hated production tool into the sea) or pull it out of the water when it’s clear that the fish aren’t biting. There is only one level of study, that is, the first. Doesn't affect anything, only the beginning and end of the fishing process.

Fishing Expertise - passive, 27 levels, the color of fish you will catch depends on the skill level.
Here it is necessary to mention the colors of the fish. The easiest prey to catch is at low levels, and these are green colored fish. Naturally, there is no drop from it. The coolest fish are white and black, caught on levels from 21 to 27, the best drop.

Reeling - hitting the fish while it is moving (when the fish's life bar is growing). Active, 27 study levels, the strength of the blow depends on the level of the skill.

Pumping - hitting the fish when it is standing still (when the fish's life bar is not moving). Active, 27 study levels, the strength of the blow depends on the level of the skill.

Here you may have a crazy thought that it would be good to learn the first level of examination, and the levels of attacks to the very last (27th), and smash small fish with one hit. So you drive this thought away from yourself, straight with kicks. And all because if the level of experience is three or more below the level of active strikes, a fine will be charged for each difference in level, and the greater the difference, the greater the fine, and if your expertise is at 1st level, and the skill level is 27, then you will simply stroke the fish without causing any damage to it, which will be reported to you every time in the fishing screen.

3. We’ve sorted out the skills, now the next menu item is where you are invited to buy fish products.

Everything is simple here.

Fishing rods, like weapons, vary by grade - from no grade to Y grade. The higher the grade, the more damage you cause to the fish.

Baby Duck Rod - but grade, cost 40k
Albatross Rod - D grade, cost 135k
Pelican Rod - C grade, cost 540k
KingFisher Rod - B grade, cost 1.62kk
Cygnus Pole - A grade, cost 5.4kk
Triton Pole - S grade, cost 13.5kk

Baits - I won’t list them all, they are divided by colors and names. The differences in colors in one subgroup are minimal, that is, Purple Colored Lure and Yellow Colored Lure will differ in the minimal chance of catching something there, so you shouldn’t pay much attention to the colors.

For bait Colored Lure - For Beginners fish should be caught for beginners, they have less life and more time to catch, but the chances of a drop are reduced, and the amount of drop is reduced.

Colored Lure- the main bait for catching ordinary fish, standard drop chances and number of fish items.

Luminous Lure- luminous bait designed for night fishing, only with the help of this bait can you catch fish with the words Upper Grade added to their name, and only this fish in the drop has colored scales and keys for crafting rare accessories.

Prize-Winning Fishing Lure- some kind of prize bait, but it works crookedly everywhere, on some servers it only catches chests, on some I didn’t notice any differences at all. We will talk about all the fishing schools below.

And since we’re talking about chests, I’ll add about what is generally caught. All fish are divided into regular, for beginners, and upper grade (night), plus you can catch chests - each color is divided into two types, the amount of drop in which is the same, but from big chests there is a chance to get more of it. Only Fish Oil items of various types and directly fish proofs drop from the chests.

You can also buy a fishing manual from fat people who have been fattened up on fresh fish, which you don’t really need, as well as all sorts of Fisherman Potion bottles of different colors. They are needed to lower your fishing level. That is: you have learned the maximum levels of fishing skills, catch yourself white and black fish, and you urgently need green fish scales to craft some kind of hat. Oops, you won't be able to catch green fish unless a squirrel visits you. In this case, you buy a green pousheen, drink it - and here they are, joyful green glitches - you immediately start catching green fish. To return to normal, you need, no, not to get sober, but to drink a black bottle of Fishing Potion. I’ll say right away that in all my time I haven’t seen a single server where these bottles work. However, you might get lucky.

4. The next menu item will be the sale of unnecessary items, which does not interest us at all. But then comes point 5, in which you can exchange objects extracted from fish for proofs.

If you are not interested in crafting accessories, you can exchange all available items for fish tickets, but if you want to craft, change what is not needed for crafting, mainly it will be fish oil (wow, what disgusting), there you can also craft it from a simple to elite, for which they give more tickets.

The last menu item will be the “quests” tab. We need it, that is, we are only interested in one quest there - for fish nipples. It's called: Quest for Fishing Shots. You need to hit mobs on it, from which Sweet Fluid items drop, which change to fish nipples. The number and chance of dropping quest items depend on the level of the mobs and the crookedness of the admins, so don’t be surprised if only one item drops from a 70+ mob. Alarm!! - almost always the drop of items for this quest will interfere with the drop of items for other quests, so before completing other important quests in which the mobs coincide with the quest for nipples, it is advisable to first exchange all the vibes, cancel the quest for nipples, and only then take another quest.

As soon as you knock out at least one fluid, Fisherman will have one more item in the quest - exchange the fluids for nipples:

The guy lists in detail all the locations and all the mobs that drop fluids.

That's it, now about the fishing process itself. We buy a fishing rod according to the grade, a certain amount of bait (let it be ordinary bait to start mastering), study the phishing skill, the first level of the expertise skill, the third level of the reeling and pumping skills and move to the river. We put the skills on the panel, if there are any, we add fish nipples there. Click on the Fishing skill, while casting a fishing rod. A small window appears, where you can see a float swinging on the waves. Yes, the bait itself does not fit into the slot along with the fishing rod; it must be placed there by clicking.

If the fish doesn’t bite, you purr something unintelligible to yourself for a while, then cry, and the fishing rod returns to its original position. You can throw it again. If the fish bites, then they will write to you in the fish window: the fish is biting (this is for the especially gifted). A blue bar will appear, and above it the number of seconds remaining until the fish falls off the hook.

At this moment, those two active skills responsible for catching fish come into play. We put our fingers on the buttons responsible for the skills, for me these are F1 and F3, between them there are fish nipples on F2. The nipples are not automatic, that is, after each blow they must be turned on again. If the fish's life bar is moving, click on Reeling, if it stands still, then click on Pumping. When you hit the right key, the life of the fish decreases, when you hit the wrong key, it increases. Everything would be fine, but skills have a cooldown time, and poking at them all the time won’t do anything, so we turn on the sound in the game and listen carefully to the click of the skill’s rollback. As soon as you drive the blue bar down to zero, the fish is caught, screams, screams, panties full of joy.

If the time is up, then the fishing was unsuccessful - hysterics and snot smeared over the face.

It’s not for nothing that I advise you to start with the first levels of fishing, so that you bring all movements to automaticity, after which you can raise the level to the one you need. And after that you can move on to night fishing.

Night fishing (I’m now writing about how this should work, but it’s not a fact that it will be exactly like this on your server) differs from daytime fishing in that it should only take place during night game time, the bait should only be luminous. When fishing at night, the fish are much stronger than usual, and the time to catch them is half as long. At the same time, the fish becomes completely crazy, and when it moves, you need to suppress it with the skill not Reeling, but Pumping, and when stopping, not Pumping, but Reeling, that is, the opposite is true. When fishing at night, I usually just swap the skills on the panel and don’t look there anymore. That’s why it was necessary to bring all movements to automaticity.

Regarding the fishing settings on different servers: whatever comes to mind, everything is crooked everywhere. I have already written about paints that reduce the level of fishing. On some servers, night fishing is not implemented at all, somewhere it is, but it does not work at night, but how will it turn out, on one server they told me that there is night fishing, but it turns on only after you cast a fishing rod for at least 60 times. Somewhere in the drop from night fish there are no colored scales, somewhere there are them, but there are no keys for crafting rare accessories. Therefore, before you start fishing on a new server, it is advisable to ask the players exactly how fishing works here. Yes, there are still servers where night fishing works, but the skills for killing fish do not change. This is of course easier for the players, but much less interesting.

Here's something else I forgot to mention - sometimes instead of fish you can catch sea monsters that will immediately attack you. If you nail them, they may have all sorts of different baits and nipples in the drop.

And sometimes you can catch these funny fish:

Well, basically, everything is about fishing for now; I’ll tell you about crafting using fishing items a little later. I'm telling you.

Preparing for fishing

Fishing rods

First of all, you will need a fishing rod. They differ in grade and price, in addition, depending on the grade, it is necessary to use various types fishing shots (charges for fishing). The difference between the fishing rods is the damage they cause to the fish when fishing.

Lures (bait)

Lures (bait) vary in color and are Yellow, Green and Purple.

There are also 3 baits for beginners (For Beginners). They are special because they show you which skill to use at any given moment when you fish with them. The downside is that you can only catch low quality fish. Be that as it may, it is preferable to use them if you are fishing for the first time. Buy 20 pieces and try.

Any type of bait can be used with any grade of fishing rod.

Baits, or rather their division by color, are designed to help you catch a specific type of fish. According to their description, using Green you will catch more Nimble (agile) fish, using Yellow - more Ugly (ugly) fish, and using Purple - more Fat (well-fed).

Fishing Shots

The principle of use is the same as for charges for conventional weapons: using a fish soulshot doubles the damage done to the fish. Be careful: when using a skill that does not correspond at this moment, fish soulshot increases fish health, in the amount of damage that you would cause if you used the “correct” skill. In general, it is recommended to use fish charges only for difficult-to-catch fish.

Fish soulshots cannot be set to auto-use, like soulshots for weapons.

Fishing soulshots of the appropriate level are required for a fishing rod of each grade.

You can get fish soulshots through the quest Quest for Fishing Shots.

Abilities (skills)

Naturally, in order to fish, you need skills. They do not require skill points (SP), but cost money. They can be purchased from the Fishing Guide NPC in Grosery (magical stores). To gain skills, you need to choose "Please teach me to fish" in the conversation menu with NPCs.

To fish, you need to have four skills: Fishing, Pumping, Reeling And Fishing Expertise.

Fishing- active skill, has only 1 level.

Fishing Expertise

Fishing Expertise determines the color of the fish and the level of the monster that you can catch:

• 1-3: Green Fish (Small, Normal, Big)
• 4-6: Jade Fish (Small, Normal, Big)
• 7-9: Blue Fish (Small, Normal, Big)
• 10-12: Yellow Fish (Small, Normal, Big)
• 13-15: Orange Fish (Small, Normal, Big)
• 16-18: Purple Fish (Small, Normal, Big)
• 19-21: Red Fish (Small, Normal, Big)
• 22-24: White Fish (Small, Normal, Big)
• 25-27: Black Fish (Small, Normal, Big)

In general, about 50% of the fish you catch will be at the Expertise level you've learned, 45% will be at a level below, and about 5% will be at a level above.

Bottles that reduce Fishing Expertise level

Sometimes you need to lower the level of your own fishing skills, for example, to catch lower-level fishing materials. To do this, you can buy special bottles from Fishing Guide Member that reduce your Fishing Expertise level.

Pumping and Reeling

Pumping And Reeling designed to cause damage to fish during the process of catching it.

The higher the level of each of them, the higher the damage done to the fish, and as the level increases, the cooldown time of the skill also decreases. You must remember that if the difference between the levels of Pumping/Reeling and the level of Fishing Expertise is more than 2 levels, you receive a fishing penalty: a reduction in damage from each skill by 5% for each level of difference.

Skills acquired through fishing

By fishing, you can acquire new skills. To do this, you need to sell what you catch to an NPC fisherman, the same one from whom you learn fishing skills. To gain new skills, you will need Proof of Catching a Fish (fisherman's stamps), you will get them by catching or trading for general crafting resources.

Expand Common Craft- expands the general crafting recipe book by 6 cells for each level, maximum - 48 cells.

Expand Storage- increases the capacity of your personal bank by 6 cells per level, maximum - 48 new cells.

Expand Inventory- expands the backpack capacity by 6 cells per level, maximum - 48 cells.

Expand Dwarven Craft(only for gnomes, mainly Warsmith; the skill itself is learned from ordinary NPC trainers, not from a fisherman) - expands the capacity of the gnome's recipe book by 6 cells per level, maximum - 48 cells.

Expand Trade- expands the number of slots for buying and selling in a personal store by 1 per level, the maximum increase is 3 cells.

Fishing

Fishing is very easy. If you are a beginner, it is recommended to use the For Beginners bait, as they show you on a special screen which skill to use at any given moment. Using such baits, learning to fish will not be difficult.

In order to start fishing, you need to find a deep place. A deep place is any puddle, while in which you have a breathing scale above your head.

Place the Fishing, Pumping and Reeling skills on the hotkey panel; if you are doing a quest for fish soulshots, place them on the panel as well. In addition, you will need a slot with weapons and basic attack skills, since remember that you can catch the monster.

Stand on the shoreline facing the water. Use Fishing- your character will start fishing. A new window will appear on the screen where you will see your float. All you have to do now is catch the fish using Pumping and Reeling.

There are several ways to determine which skill to use at any given time. The most successful is monitoring the fish’s health bar:

• Pumping;
• Reeling.

If you choose the right skill, your health bar will decrease by the amount of damage you deal. If the skill is chosen incorrectly, then health will increase by this number of points.

If you reduce the fish's health points to 0 before the allotted time (30 seconds) ends, you have caught the fish.

Night fishing

Night fishing is available at night from 0:00 to 6:00 game time (game time can be found by typing the command /time or on the world map).

To catch better fish during night fishing you will need Luminous/Night bait.

However, this fish is more cunning than usual. When the life bar of a fish turns red, it means that the fish is being cunning. In this case, the action of the Pumping and Reeling skills has the opposite effect on the fish:

• if the HP points bar stands still, use it Reeling;
• if the HP point bar begins to increase, that is, the fish is restored - Pumping.

Gutting fish

Having caught enough fish, you can gut it (right-click). When gutted, there is a 50% chance that you won't get anything out of it. Most of all you will have general crafting resources, which can be used in general crafting or can be exchanged for Proof of Catching a Fish(fish tickets) from the NPC fisherman. Keep in mind that there is a great opportunity to make high-level fish resources. For example, out of 4 Fish Oil(worth 4 Proof of Catching a Fish) can be done Greater Fish Oil(costs 5 Proof of Catching a Fish).

You can catch a lot of interesting things in the waters of the world of Aden. Take a fishing rod and fish. How? This knowledge will help you with this.

Basics

To start fishing you need to buy fishing rod (Fishing Pole) And bait (Bait/Lure). Find a fisherman (member of the Fishermen's Guild) with a fishing rod in his hand in any city. Fishermen's Guild (Fishing Guild) will gladly accept you into its ranks. Fishing rods, like weapons and armor, are divided into classes ( No Grade, D, C, B, A, S), and the better the class of the fishing rod, the stronger the fish you can catch. If your character puts on a fishing rod that is not of the class, then a penalty will be imposed on the chance of catching fish, and you will catch monsters much more often.

First of all, you need to approach the fisherman and learn the skills: skill Fishing will allow you to use a fishing rod (cast a fishing rod); skill Pumping and skill Reeling will allow you to fish; skill determines your fishing skills.

Skill Fishing Expertise determines your fishing skill level and what kind of fish you can catch. Care must be taken to ensure that skills Pumping And Reeling weren't more than to 2 levels above or below skill level Fishing Expertise, otherwise it will be more difficult to catch, there will be a certain penalty for the “damage” caused to the fish during the fishing process. It's better to do all three skills Fishing Expertise, Pumping And Reeling one level.

Every week there is a fishing tournament in which you can win quite a lot of adena. If you fish a lot and successfully, go up to the fisherman and see if you are on the list of winners. If so, get a reward.

The caught fish can be sold to a store or market, or cut up by double-clicking the mouse. After cutting you get some parts and items that are needed to create jewelry, pirate headbands, monocles, drinks and potions, tattoo inks, other items and to exchange with the fisherman for Proof of Catching a Fish. Evidence is required to acquire some additional skills and capabilities. For example, to increase inventory volume.

Choosing a fishing spot

You can fish almost anywhere where there is a body of water. Face the body of water and use the skill Fishing. If you were able to cast a fishing rod, then you can fish in this place.

Found in different bodies of water different types fish. You will have to learn to determine the place where the right fish is caught.

You shouldn’t fish in one place for a long time, otherwise the fish will learn to avoid the bait and stop biting. If the bite seems to be getting worse, move to another location.

Baits

The Angling Guild sells three main types bait (Lure): green, purple And yellow. There is also an improved and more expensive bait (Prize-Winning), which increases the chance of catching a monster. Buy some of all types of bait.

Different fish in different bodies of water bite on different baits. Determine for yourself which bait is best to catch in the body of water you have chosen. It is believed that green bait is used to catch fast (Nimble) fish caught with purple bait fat fish caught with yellow bait ugly (Ugly) fish.

There are baits of every type regular (Colored Lure), for night fishing (Luminous Lure) And for beginners (For Beginners).

Baits for night fishing (Luminous Lure) can only be used at night from 00:00 to 6:00 game time. Open the map, in the upper left corner the game time is written, next to which there is a sun or moon icon. This will tell you when to use night bait. You can also check the current time using the command “ /time».

When using bait for beginners (For Beginners) You will be shown when to use which fishing skill. Fish caught with beginner bait do not count toward the tournament. Beginner baits can only be used for low level fish.

Fishing process

Take a fishing rod to right hand, bait to the left. After you cast a fishing rod using the skill Fishing It will take some time until the fish finds and swallows the bait. The higher the skill level Fishing Expertise, the faster the fish bites.

A fish that has swallowed bait behaves differently. Some try to get off the hook, while others offer no resistance. After the bite, you will see a strip in front of your eyes illustrating the fishing process. Once you reduce it, the fish will be pulled out of the water. If the stripe is large, the fish will fall off the hook and swim away. You are given a certain time for all actions, after which the fish comes off the hook.

If the fish resists, you need to use skill Reeling unwind the reel until the fish gets tired and stops resisting. Then using the skill Pumping you have to get her out of the water. If the fish resists, the strip slowly grows, and when the fish is tired, the strip remains the same length. Proper Use skills will reduce the bar and bring your victory closer. Incorrect use, on the contrary, will allow the fish to fall off the hook faster.

Catching valuable fish

When improving your fishing skills Fishing Expertise there will be an opportunity to catch more valuable fish. Experienced fishermen simply cannot catch low-level fish.

The higher the fishing level, the more difficult it is to catch fish. Valuable fish high level stronger and smarter than their low-level counterparts. We need to constantly improve our skill levels Pumping And Reeling, making them equal to skill Fishing Expertise.

More valuable fish differ in color from less valuable ones. Fish come in several colors: green, jade, blue, yellow, orange, purple, red, white and black. Green ones are the weakest fish, they have little health, but the reward for them is appropriate, while black ones are the toughest, and to catch them you will need a fishing rod of at least A class. The color of the fish caught depends on the level Fishing Expertise (Fishing Expert)- the higher it is, the better fish you will catch. You can only catch fish of your fishing level, one level less or one level more. In the table below you can see the level and color of the fish.

Temporary reduction in fishing skill level

Sometimes it is necessary to catch fish of a certain type and level. To do this, there is an opportunity for an hour to become the level of fishing that is needed to successfully catch this particular fish. From the fisherman, in addition to bait and fishing rods, you can purchase special potions of the color you need ( Fisherman's Potion). After drinking a bottle of red fisherman's potion, you a whole hour you will catch red fish (you will be at this level of fishing).

The level of fishing can only be lowered. Therefore, it is useless to drink a potion of a higher level than your fishing level. There will simply be no effect.

You can drink another potion before the first one ends. You can cancel the effect of the potion and return your fishing level by drinking a black bottle recovery potion (Fishing Potion).

Using floats

Floats (Fishing Shot) doubles both successful and unsuccessful effects of using skills Pumping And Reeling. Floats can be obtained by quest "Fishing Shot" at the fisherman's. After the quest has been taken from many mobs, the list of which can be viewed there, you will receive Sweet Fluid, which can be exchanged with the fisherman for floats. Floats must be of the same grade as the fishing rod.

Night fishing

There are some features of night fishing. At night it is necessary to use special night baits ( Luminous Lure).

Night fish are much more cunning and try to deceive the fisherman. When the fish uses a deceptive maneuver, splashes appear around the float and the color of the strip changes. In this case, you need to use the skills exactly the opposite, that is, instead of Pumping use Reeling, instead of Reeling use Pumping.

Night baits are ineffective during the day.

Fishing is a very entertaining process. In order to start fishing, we will need to learn the initial skills for fishing, such as Fishing, Fishing Expertise, Pumping and Reeling. In addition to these skills, you will also need to purchase a fishing rod and bait. All these necessary things can be purchased from the NPC fisherman, and you can also learn the skills necessary for fishing from him. The fisherman is usually located in magic shops (where they sell CoE) or near seaports.

With these simple tools, you will be able to catch fish and treasure chests in the future. You can get resources by double clicking on a fish or chest. The materials you get from fishing can be used in Common Crafting, or exchanged for Proof of Catching a Fish. Proof of Catching a Fish is used to level up additional skills, this is especially important for gnomes. Fishing is not as long a process as you might think, and in order to get what you need, you don’t have to sit for days on a fishing rod; the fish are caught relatively quickly.

How to fish

To make the fishing process easier, it is advisable to put the fishing skills (Fishing, Pumping and Reeling) in the quick access panel; I also advise you to place your weapon, fishing rod and fishing shots in the same quick access panel.

The basic scheme for fishing:

1. We find a place for fishing. You can fish anywhere where a breath line appears in the water. After you find such a body of water, you will need to go to the very edge of the water, but do not go into it.
2. Let's take a fishing rod and bait in our hands.
3. Using the Fishing skill we will cast a fishing rod, after which the fishing screen will appear. Then you will have to wait until the fish’s HP bar appears on the fishing screen, this will mean that the fish is almost hooked.
4. It is necessary to use the Reeling skill when increasing the health of the fish.
5. If the fish's HP level remains unchanged, it will be necessary to use the Pumping skill.

Depending on how timely you used the Reeling and Pumping skills, it will depend on whether you catch the fish or whether it breaks. Because if there are mistakes, the HP of the fish will be restored and it will break loose.

At successful catch or, on the contrary, not successful, you can return to point number 3 and return to it until you get tired of it.

At first glance, this process seems easy, but it is not. Although, as a result of your fishing efforts, you can catch a fish or a treasure chest, but, occasionally, you can pull out a mob of about your level. It is for this reason that I advised above to insert your weapon into the quick access panel.

And now about everything in detail...

Fishing skills

Fishing(active) - this skill is used to throw a fishing rod into the water. The maximum skill level is 1.

Fishing Expertise(passive) - this is the main fishing skill. It affects how strong and expensive fish you can catch. It is very important to have the required level of this skill, because if you overlearn it, you will receive a fishing penalty and it will become more difficult to catch fish. So, this skill must be learned gradually, looking for its optimal level, which will allow you to fish more effectively.
Level 1-26

Pumping(active) - this skill affects the amount of damage inflicted on the fish when using Pumping. It is recommended that the difference between the levels of the Pumping and Fishing Expertise skills does not exceed 2, otherwise you will receive fishing penalties.
Level 1-26

Reeling(active) - this skill affects the amount of damage inflicted on the fish when using Reeling. It is recommended that the difference between the Reeling and Fishing Expertise skill levels not exceed 2, otherwise you will receive fishing penalties.
Level 1-26

Cost of skills

Unlike ordinary skills, fishing skills are learned for adena.

Below is a table that shows the cost in adena for upgrading the Fishing Expertise, Pumping and Reeling skills. For example, in order to upgrade the Fishing Expertise skill from level 1 to level 2, you need 50a. And the third column indicates the total cost of learning the skill if you download it from level 0. For example, to increase the Pumping skill from level 0 to level 5, you need to spend a total of 1`060a.

The total cost of upgrading all skills for fishing is 3,785,200a

Things needed for fishing.

Fishing Rod- fishing rod.

Fishing rods are very similar to weapons, in that they, like weapons, have their own class, that is, you can use a fishing rod of your class or lower, and if you use a fishing rod of a class lower than yours, you will have penalties when fishing. When fishing, the damage you will inflict on the fish depends both on your fishing rod and on the level of your skills.

Fishing rod cost table

Fishing Lures(bait)

Lures come in three colors and are divided into three classes, for fast fish, for ugly fish and for fatty fish. It is advisable to buy bait only of the High Grade class, since when using this class of bait you will be able to catch fish faster than when using weaker classes of bait, and you will also catch more valuable fish. Considering that the bait is quite cheap, it is better to buy a higher quality one.

With a High Grade bait, the chances of catching a fish of your level are approximately 60%, respectively, a 30% chance of catching a fish 1 level below yours and a 10% chance of catching a fish 1 level above yours.

Ncsoft, as usual, calculated for us our chances of catching a certain fish with this bait. As a result, the table shows that Purple Colored Lure is the best bait for fishing. But, if you need to catch a specific fish, to find the required material or recipe, you will have to use different colors of bait. It also shows the tests performed to check the relationships.

As mentioned above, you have a chance to catch a mob on a hook.

Fish and Chests

Fish and chests become more and more valuable as your fishing level increases; if it becomes harder for you to catch fish, or the fish becomes very strong for fishing, then it is advisable to change the color of the bait to any other. You also have a chance to hook a fish whose level is higher than your fishing level, that is, if you hook it, you can only catch it when using the Fishing Shots skill or when using a fishing rod higher high class than the one you use, don’t forget about it important point. There is still a rare chance to catch a Black fish with a Class C fishing rod and Fishing Shots. Every 3 levels of fish and every chest have 3 varieties: Small, Normal, Big. You will catch fish and chests one class lower than your class. This means that you need to have at least 12 free slots for your catch - 3 levels and 3 types of fish, plus 3 levels of chests.

Cutting up the catch

As soon as you feel that you have caught enough fish, and at any time when you want, by double-clicking on the fish you can open it in order to see what is in it. The fish can be empty (about 50% chance), or you can get materials, recipes for common craft, or fish entrails (bones, intestines, black caviar), which can be exchanged for Proof of Catching a Fish.

Fish entrails can also be used for crafting, so you don't have to exchange them for Proof of Catching a Fish.

What is it for?

With Proof of Catching a Fish you can learn additional skills. Usually the level of a possible skill is calculated in the following way: 1 skill level per 10 levels of your character plus 1. So, for example, the Expand Inventory skill (increases the number of slots in your character’s inventory) has 3 levels, at character level 20.

The Expand Trade skill (increases the number of slots for trade) can only be upgraded to level 3, at character levels 40, 55 and 65. Expand Dwarven Craft (increases the maximum number of recipes in the recipe book, very important for Dwarves) can only be learned by Dwarves.

In most cases, Expand Warehouse, Expand Dwarven Craft, and Expand Trade are the skills that are important to most players.

Advice from experienced fishermen: Don’t look at the float - it is for beauty, not for business.

Also a tip: Don’t look at the inscriptions that appear ABOVE the strip (such inscriptions appear either on small character levels or when you fish with the For Beginners bait. It says when the Fish is pulling and when it is Leading). We need to learn how to fish with stripes...

Let's look at the fish's life bar! Pumping should be used when the fish's life bar is stagnant, and Reeling should be used when the fish's life bar begins to increase.

With a little practice, you will learn to capture these moments.

That's all, happy fishing!
