Fishing is a minigame that allows you to catch different kinds of fish at various locations throughout Woodfield and Fairhaven.

How to fish

In order to fish, you will need to make or buy a Fishing Rod and some bait. The magnitude of the FishingRod effect on the Fishing Rod determines the weight of the fish you can catch using it. The weight you will be using is 2 to 6x the fishing mag of the rod. Too low and you won't be able to feel the nibbles of a smaller fish, too high and you'll snap your line. The type of bait also plays a role in what fish you can catch.

Once you have the proper equipment, you'll need to equip the fishing rod and find a fishing location (see Fishing Locations). Typing +fish will bring up the following menu:

Fish V 1.4.7 by Nuku Valente.
+fish -- This help screen!
+fish/bait (Bait or Lure name) -- Declare the bait/lure you'll use.
                                  You CAN use fish.
                                  Lures are reusable but attract less fish.
+fish/info (Fish name) -- Get the description on a fish.
+fish/butcher (Fish name)=(amount) -- Slice up fish to produce edible salvage.
+fish/cast -- Fish!
+fish/patrol -- Fish! You also spend a patrol point, if you catch a fish, you will catch multiple.
Also bypasses minute cooldown, avoids random encounters, and increases the odds of a properly 
weighted fish appearing.
You are in fishing region: 5
Your fishing pole rating: 0.6
Your bait is: hare lure
Your fishing skill is: 10
Your butchering skill is: 6.5

Currently, only the +fish/bait, +fish/info, and +fish/cast options have any effect.

• +fish/bait allows you to select your bait. So far, only Mashed Bait and Hare Lure are available to craft. All other baits must be caught or purchased from other players.
• +fish/info will show you what fish are available in your current area, or if followed by a fish name, describe it.
• +fish/cast will start the fishing minigame with a 60 second cooldown between casts.
• +fish/patrol will start the fishing minigame with a 5 second cooldown, no random encounters, better odds for a fish of correct weight for the rod, and a chance to catch multiple fish.

Before you begin, you'll want to check +fish/info and make sure you have the right rod and bait equipped. Once you're ready, enter +fish/cast and prepare to reel in your catch, if any. You'll see something similar to the following:

You'll need to enter fi # where # is the number of the box that matches the color of the symbol on the line above the boxes. Each color has a different symbol, if you're having trouble distinguishing them. Choosing correctly will increase your progress, choosing incorrectly will decrease it. Your progress also steadily decreases over time. If it reaches zero, the fish gets away, while reaching a high enough value will successfully reel in your catch.

That's all there is to it!
