UPDATES (Thursday, July 21st - Skinlicker is not working at all on my Location 1 or Location 2)

QuickStart information (for Green Valley Falls guild)

1) Learn Fly Fishing skill (ask me for mats if you don't have them)

2) Get a "Common Fishing Lure set" from the lures chest (Clay Slug, Footworm, Fruit Maggot, Glass Worm, Golden Asp, Grass Slug, Oyster Mite, Ringed Wasp, Rose Swallowtail, Salt Mite, Skinlicker, Spittlebug)

UPDATE (for GVF) use these 8 for Location 1: Clay Slug, Footworm, Glass Worm, Golden Asp, Grass Slug, Oyster Mite, Rose Swallowtail, Salt Mite

Lures chest are kept in the "bugs" building, 1253,3401 - Eastern small chest. All the lures are petrified. RETURN lures after use, thank you.

3) Start fishing at Location 1 (1246, 3406), you can use Automato fishing script. Casts per lure can be 4 (still investigating if this has any effect)

4) Make sure to fillet (using kitchen) - Carp, Catfish, Chromis, Tigerfish, Oxyrynchus, Bay Lobster, Spoonfish, Hylian Loach, Singing Lamprey. Also, keep Fish Oil (a side effect of filleting).

5) The rest of the fish just put into one of the warehouses, and then fillet after more than 2+ hours for ROTTEN fish.

Fish meat take to River Plains Caffe, Styx is using it to make DEX food. Guilds/River_Plains_Cafe

Rotten fish take to RP TECH WH (1575, 2874) very close to the RP CS (Ariella is using it for fertilizer, developing Cross Breeding across Egypt).

Fish scales throw away, or just put into Scales WH in the Kitchen.

6) Don't bother doing Fly Tying and Filleting, we have plenty of petrified lures. If you need more, we can place an order (see below for more detail). For filleting, just use the kitchen at all times (also see below).

7) Getting a level takes SUPER long, so be patient.

If you are not Guilds/GreenValleyFalls member, consider joining, we are lots of fun. If not, you can get petrified lures by placing an order to Porthos. He only asks for materials (big thanks Porthos!). These will last you a very long time.

This is materials you need to provide to Porthos to get "Common Fish Starter kit" that will get you 12 petrified lures.

12 Insects:

Clay Slug, Footworm, Fruit Maggot, Glass Worm, Golden Asp, Grass Slug, Oyster Mite, Ringed Wasp, Rose Swallowtail, Salt Mite, Skinlicker, Spittlebug

24 Thread

84 Salt

12 Thorn

24 Raw Silk

...or just do your own calculation - Fishing_Lure.

You should also join Guilds/Fishing Cove guild if you more serious about fishing.

Statistics

I was using 11 lures over 1 hour (game time) periods for testing on two locations. I only included common fish, as uncommon seems to have it's own statistical range independent of common fish.

It seems that Skinlicker was useless (fishing 0 on both locations).

There is a clear average of around 200db of common fish per hour!

Lures used: Clay Slug, Footworm, Glass Worm, Golden Asp, Grass Slug, Oyster Mite, Ringed Wasp, Rose Swallowtail, Salt Mite, Skinlicker, Spittlebug

Uncommon fish

Location 1 (1246, 3406) Amur Pike - NOT on location Bottlenose Squid - DON'T have the lures Flying Fish - NOT caught (SPD >22) Great Knucklefish - NOT on location Orange Spoonfish - NOT on location Ribbonfish - NOT on location Yellowfin Snapper - NOT on location

Horned Pigfish - YES, with SPD 9 (wiki says SPD>22!) Hylian Loach - YES, BIG quantities Octopus - YES, in small quantities Oxyrynchus - YES, solid Queen Lionfish - YES, solid Tilefish - YES, BIG quantities

Further notes down here (not very organized)

Trying fishing for the first time, here is my observations.

I am trying two fishing grounds Location 1 (1246, 3406) and Location 2 (1422, 3434).

Joint theories Roe fish comes from filleting uncommon fish right after catching, currently it's Akhet IV, and it is Tilefish. You can find ROE periods in the fishing infographics.

Fishing_Infographic

Common fish distribution per lure Fishing/Common_Fish

Make sure to fillet in the kitchen. Fish filleting lvl 7 is equal to filleting in a kitchen. You lose around 10-20% of the meat per deben. In the kitchen it is 1:1 meat for deben of fish.

Make sure to fillet fairly shortly after catch, otherwise also losing meat for deben ration.

You need speed to catch uncommon fish more often - eat speed food. GVF - eat Eimear's cheap food.

COMMON FISH LURE SET This is a set of Common Fish lures, I found it on Porthos home page.

Clay Slug

Footworm

Fruit Maggot

Glass Worm

Golden Asp

Grass Slug

Oyster Mite

Ringed Wasp

Rose Swallowtail

Salt Mite

Skinlicker

Spittlebug

Location 1 (1246, 3406)

Right next to GVF kitchen, good for "immediate filleting".

Location 2 (1422, 3434)

Northernmost small island right across GVF entrance, right below aqueduct pump

Theory (WRONG) - daily fishing is divided in three hour blocks (per location) I experienced 3 hour dry spell from EXACTLY 6:00AM to 9:00AM - NO lure worked in this period. (in Location 1 (1422, 3434)). I think that each location has a certain set of lures/fish that work within a 3 hour block, then this set changes and some other lures work for the next three hours.

I cannot seem to find further evidence, also I got back to working at this period.

Theory (WRONG) - there are lures that NEVER work in a certain location It seems that most lures will work at least once, but some lures are REALLY BAD for certain locations.

Theory (WRONG) - CROWD is influencing fishing. Nope...fishing has nothing to do with crowdedness.

Theory (unconfirmed) - pollution and fishing? Not tested the pollution.
