Fishing

gathering

Fishing is a gathering skill that runs from level 1 to 99.

How to train it

Equip a fishing rod and work the nodes listed under Resources. Each successful gather pays Fishing XP and the resource.

Every level past 1 makes each gather 2% faster, up to 50% faster (reached at level 26).
Every level past 1 adds 1% chance of a bonus resource, up to 25% (reached at level 26).

Perks below push past these caps.

You earn 1 perk point every 10 levels in Fishing. Spend points on the perks below from the Skills menu; each rank is a permanent bonus.

Better tools take fewer swings per resource and can give extra resources.
