Fishing

Fishing is a new 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. 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 from /stock.
                                  Lures are reusable but attract less fish.
+fish/info (Fish name) -- Get the description on a fish.
+fish/stock -- Get a list of the fish you hold.
+fish/spend (Fish name) -- Spend a fish, will announce to the room. This is for eating purposes as a rule.
+fish/butcher (Fish name)=(amount) -- Butcher fish into sea food units.
+fish/give (Fish name) to (person) -- Give a fish to someone.
+fish/xp -- Use some XP to help boost your chances of skill raises.
            You can spend as little as 0.1 and up to 1.0 XP per catch.
+fish/cast -- Fish!
You are in fishing region: 1
Your fishing pole rating: 2.156
Your bait is: Mashed Bait

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 is available.
• +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.

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. 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!
