Fishing by the water can sometimes result in unexpected treasures, as well as fish that can be used for cooking or as offerings to Ehekatl of Luck.

Overview

The fishing skill can be learned from the trainer in Yowyn.

Fishing outcome is determined by fishing level, content level, danger level, and land feats, such as Sea, Beach, and Fishing Spot. However, the hardness of the material of the fishing rod and whether the fishing rod is blessed do not affect the outcome.

Fishing speed is only determined by fishing level.

  • Fishing Level:
    • Determines the maximum fish LV, the potential number of fish, the potential quality of fish and fishing speed.
    • Affects catching nothing (higher levels reduce the chance).
    • Affects catching Small Medal (higher levels increase the chance).
    • Affects catching Junk (higher levels reduce the chance).
  • Location:
    • Feats like Sea, Beach, or Fishing Spot increase the number of fish you can catch but do not affect fish LV, fishing speed, or other factors.
    • Fishing in Port Kapul increases amount of fish caught akin to abovementioned land feats (with Port Kapul being better than 1 feat but worse than 2 feats).
  • Content Level:
    • Determined by hearth stone level, distance from roads, and the Demon Invocation policy.
  • Danger Level:
    • If the current zone is not part of your home faction, then danger level affects items.
  • Fishing Rod:
    • The harder the fishing rod, the less stamina you consume while fishing.
    • The type of fishing rod does not influence fish LV, number of fish, fishing speed, or any of the other factors.

Fishing Milestones

Milestone Fishing Level
Max Fish LV 19
Max Fishing Speed 50
Max Small Medal Chance 90
Chance for Legendary fish 104
  • Max Fish LV: The highest fish LV you can catch at this fishing level.
  • Max Fishing Speed: Fishing level at which the fastest fishing speed is reached.
  • Max Small Medal Chance: The fishing level at which the chance of receiving Small Medals is maximized or guaranteed to be more consistent.
  • Chance for Legendary fish: The fishing level required to be able to catch Legendary quality fish without the "First catch" feat or its effect.

Obtaining Bait

Fishing requires bait to catch a fish; one bait will be consumed per catch regardless of the amount of fish caught. Bait can be purchased from Fishmongers and General Shopkeepers or crafted by the player using Quick Craft.

If a player chooses to craft their own bait, there are several methods to obtain ingredients (Meat, Body parts, Mushrooms):

  • Completing Nefia and crafting any hearts, grotesque offal, and bone drops into bait.
  • Mushroom Farming. As mushrooms only take a day to fully grow and only consume 2 fertility, many can be grown daily (so long as the player remembers to harvest seeds for replanting).
  • Dismantle fertilizers to get soil corpses. The following items are recommended for fertilizer.
    • Raw food makeshift arrows: You can make 40 arrows from a raw food leave obtained by disassembling and flowers, yielding about 10 fertilizer.
    • Unwanted fish: With sufficient fishing skills and a suitable fishing spot, you can turn unwanted fish into fertilizer, providing you with enough bait to keep fishing forever.
  • Harvesting scrap from Machinarium Nefia by mining the walls, digging the floors, and collecting debris from the ground. The scrap can be processed into nails at the Tinker's table, and then disassembled with a hammer to convert them into bones. These bones can then be crafted into fishing bait.
    • Making fertilizer from raw food makeshift arrows yields about 10 times more fishing bait for the same stamina consumption. This way may be useful when you want to gather bait while training these skills.

Fishing by NPCs

NPCs whose class is tourist or whose job or hobby is fishing will fish as their idle action.

They sell their catch at regular intervals, but players can collect the fish in their inventory before they do so.

Unlike players, they fish even without a fishing rod, but if you put a fishing rod in an NPC's inventory, they will use it.

NPCs stop fishing when their stamina runs out. By giving them a fishing rod, you can reduce their stamina consumption and keep them fishing for longer (and potentially steal their catch).

While NPCs can catch quality fish, their chance to do so is heavily penalized, with non-faction NPCs having an even larger penalty.
