Fishing
Allows for the catching of Fish using a fishing pole. You are given a Basic Fishing Pole whenever you learn the skill.
Source
Taught at The People's School of the Human Body.
Cost
- 25 Twine
- 1 Sharpened Stick
NOTE: You can assemble a Knife:Flint without knowing Carving 1, but you will not be able to carve anything. (It may still be used for slaughtering wild sheep, etc.).
Use
If a fishing pole is in inventory a new action icon (a fish) will appear when near bodies of water. The factors that determine fishing yield are still unresolved, see the discussion page for theories. There is also a map of known fishing locations on the Fish page.
Details
- This tale, fish seem to be in NW to SE bands (same as in previous tales). Astrina
- Fishing is best between 6 p.m. and 8 a.m. game time. Each player is unique in their "prime" fishing time. Try fishing at different times, till you find the best time for you. Astrina
- Some theories suggest that certain players do better in lakes, vs the nile. Astrina
- If you find "dead" water and then get "rings", it's likely you are on the edge of a band and should move a bit one direction or another. Astrina
- Speed influences the size of fish you catch, the higher your speed the better. Astrina
