Fishing
Fishing is one of the skills which Medivia offers alongside the likes of Cooking and Mining. It does not have a direct impact on your gameplay, although it can result in long-term benefits and enjoyment.
Getting started
To begin your journey with fishing, you will need a fishing rod. Fishing rods can be used to catch fish, but they cannot be used on all types of water. It's not possible to use fishing rods on shallow water. Once a fish is caught, it takes a few minutes to respawn. There are three types of fishing rods, ranging in quality and difficulty to obtain:
| Image | Name | Weight | Price | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Wooden Fishing Rod | 8.5 oz. | 150 gp | Can be bought from every shop selling equipment/tools. Can slip out of your hands and drop into the water. |
|
Modified Fishing Rod | 9.5 oz. | 25000 gp | Slightly improved fishing rod. Can be bought from Bruno in Northport and from Obi on Novus. Cannot be pulled into the water. |
|
Enhanced Fishing Rod | 12.5 oz. | 5x Heliodor Bar 1x Glob of Tar 1x Frozen Ham 1x Modified Rod |
The best fishing rod. Randy in Abukir can trade it for some items. Cannot be pulled into the water. You also need 10x Northern Pikes, but only for the first rod you make with Randy. |
Pools of fish
Pools of fish are a common sight.
If you spot a fish jumping out of the water, quickly grab your fishing rod.
By using your rod on a pool of fish, you will catch an uncommon fish (if your fishing skill is high enough for that fish) which grants you many more fishing skill-points than regular fishing.
Types of fish
Most fish types can be used for Cooking, although they can also be eaten raw, which isnt recommended since you could reap more significant benefits from cooked meals.
