Actively fishing will give you experience points in the Fishing skill tree. Fish can also be donated at the museum in Sun Haven. There is no downside to picking up a fancy-looking rod from Peter’s store and trying your luck in the sea.
Fishing Overview
Fishing involves a mini-game where you have to use the interact button the moment your bobber or sliding line is on top of the “winning area” which is both yellow and green.
You don’t have to land on the green to win the game and get a fish or boot.The more you put points toward your Fishing Skill Tree, the more you can unlock abilities that make the mini-game exceedingly easier.
Upon arriving at Sun Haven, you will eventuallyget a Basic Fishing Rod in the mail. Instead of waiting, you could also head down to the beach South of town and enterPeter’s shop, where you can findevery tier of fishing rod.
There are two other towns to unlock in the game with their own fishing rods and locations. To unlock these areas, you must continue with the main story quest line.
The purpose of getting a better fishing rod is to increase the rewardfor fishing. A better fishing rod doesn’t make fishing easier in terms of catching rare fish; it instead adds benefits such asan increase in Fishing XP and added goldwhen you catch fish.
Bait
you may also craft and use bait to change the game. Bait can do different things depending on what type you are using.In Sun Haven, you can only craft bait from aCompostercrafting table.
In Nel’Vari and Withergate, you must use aMana Composterto craft bait.Bait can change parts of the mini-game such as increasing the Win Area (yellow) or the Sweet Spot (green).The effect of a single bait willlast one hourin-game.
