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
The following is a bit of information I have gathered though many hours (and tales) of fishing, hopefully it will help those new to the sport: Astrina
- This tale, fish seem to be in NW to SE bands (same as in previous tales).
- 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.
- Some theories suggest that certain players do better in lakes, vs the nile.
- 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.
- Speed influences the size of fish you catch, the higher your speed the better.
- All the fish listed below can be caught with the Basic fishing pole. If you wish to catch the truly rare fish (Malapterurus), you must have a special fishing rod (generally won through contests).
The following is a basic list of what fish generally group together.
