Fishing

Fishing is one of the four Gathering Professions. Fishing involves catching various fish throughout the world with a Rod to acquire Crafting Materials in the form of Oil or Meat.

Main Resources
Oils are used in the Woodworking, Jeweling, Alchemism, and Scribing Professions to craft Weapons, Accessories, Potions, and Scrolls. Meats are used in the Cooking Profession to craft Food.

As of the Version 1.20 update, oil and meat can also be used to purchase blocks at a Block Merchant to use at one's Housing plot.

Overview
Successfully gathering fish gives the player XP in their Fishing profession. If the fish fails to be refined, then a significantly smaller amount of XP is gained. As the player levels up their Fishing profession, their gathering speed and refining success rate increase. At certain milestones, the player also unlocks new Gathering Tools and fish to gather.

Gathering Tool
Rods are the tools used in the Fishing profession. Like all other Gathering Tools, Rods have durability that decreases as the player uses the tool. Every two fish gathered decreases durability by 1. When the tool reaches zero durability, the refining chance becomes 0%. However, XP is still awarded when you gather but fail to refine. Rods can be repaired at a Blacksmith using Repair Scrap.
