Fishing

While travelling to another point of the world on a ship you can go fishing. There are 4 fish categories with a dynamic price that follows the market rate of Platinum to gold.

You can catch fish with a Spincast Rod or a Fishing Pole.

Spincast Rod has 300 uses and costs 20 Platinum. You can also get it from a Mogash Chest or buy it for Emeralds.

Fishing Poles can drop from prisms, the daily Roulette, or be bought for Emeralds.

Another unique item is the Ice Fishing Set. Unlike the Spincast Rod, it lets you fish not only from a ship but also in the dock.

As you get better at fishing, you train the matching skill «Fishing»; more about it under Character: Professions.

First category:
Second category:
Third category:
Highest category (Spincast Rod and Ice Fishing Set):

Seashell

Seashells can be caught while fishing with a Fishing Pole, a Spincast Rod or an Ice Fishing Set, with or without an Improved Jig. They can also drop from a Dynamite Stick or the Tamed Octopus Fishing skill.

If you open a seashell, you will most likely get Sand

And only rarely something useful:

• 30 Spincast Rod (Personal)

• 20 Ice Fishing Set (Personal)

• Or a Hermit Crab

If you use an Improved Jig while fishing, instead of the highest category of the standard catch you can pull a unique catch. There are three possible unique catches: 5 Ancient Amphora of Health, 5 Ancient Amphora of Mana, or a Golden Fish. You can get an Improved Jig from the special quest Catching Codfish or Industrial Codfish Fishing in Last Harbor and Black Beach.

Ancient Amphora of Health. After use, maximum «Health» is doubled. It does not overlap with the spell «Layered Defense» and does not cause «Exhaustion». The effect lasts up to 10 seconds; when it ends, current «Health» is not automatically reduced to the natural maximum.

Only characters of the Dwarf, Orc or Elf races can use it

Ancient Amphora of Mana. After use, maximum «Mana» is doubled. The effect lasts up to 10 seconds; when it ends, current «Mana» is not automatically reduced to the natural maximum.

Only characters of the Drow or Human races can use it

Golden Fish. Used to cook «Delicious Fish Broth».

Rusty Anchor - a special item that can be caught only on a Fishing Pole with an Improved Jig. Useless. Adds 100,000 weight. If there are no empty slots but there is fish in the backpack, the anchor replaces the first fish (the whole stack) in the backpack.

You cannot fish while under the "Overloaded" effect.

Caught fish can be sold in any alchemist's shop or cooked into soup - elixirs with useful unique effects. The dishes and their effects are listed below:

Delicious Fish Broth - on use, grants all basic effects for 20 minutes (same as "Buffout"). In combat it has about a 6-second cooldown.

Hunters Soup - applies an effect that cannot be removed with Dispel Magic: «Hunter's Luck» for 30 minutes. The effect gives a 30% chance to get a prize elixir in the «The Hunt» event, and a 15% chance to get the main prize instead of the standard one in the «Dark Soul» event. The effect ends on death.

Renewal Soup - clears all genetic modifications from the character.

Shamanic Soup - applies an effect that cannot be removed with Dispel Magic: See Invisible, which always lets you see characters using «Stealth». Duration is 30 minutes. The effect ends on death. You can brew it yourself or buy it in private shops.
