== Special Fishing Tiles ==Floats has to be added to lines, to be able to see when a fish can be hooked. There are 4 types of float:
In certain locationsFloats will take damage over time when used, far out at sea, one can find what are known as "special fishing tiles"and will need replacing from time to time. These tiles are special because of their relatively low number WurmThey will auto-wide as well as replace from the special types same float type in the tackle box at the end of a fish which can be found thereaction.Rare floats will take less damage.
* Special fishing tiles Hooks behave as a container, which may contain bait, and will take damage over time as they are used.

== Rarity Wood type will affect how fast a fish turns up. The default is a modifier of 1, and each wood type modifier is additive to the default, so creating the right hook can nearly halve the time for a fish to turn up. The lower the modifier % in Fishing==the chart below, the quicker the interval of time in which the fish turns up, i.e. the more effective the hook. (Example: Lemon/Orange is the preferred wood type for quickest results).
Certain rarity bonuses have been discovered for both fish and fishing rods.===[[Bait]]===
'''Fish'''Each time a fish bites on a baited line, the bait will take damage (e.g. the fish eats a bit of it). Bait is not required to catch fish (i.e. you can catch fish without bait), but the chances are a lot lower. Different fish prefer different bait.
* Rare rolls occur at the "Something Bites" event message: <br />{{event|inline|You ==General Attributes of Fish Types==All fish now have a moment set of inspiration...<br/>Something bites.}}<br />(Upon receiving this message, one of three things will then happenattributes which determine where and when they are more likely to be caught: a rare fish is succesfully caught, the line snaps, or the fish simply gets away.)
* At lower skill, you may lose these fish more often than at higher skill levels. These fish are also slightly heavier than a regular fish == Types of the same quality level and species. Fish Harvestable Through Fishing ==

* Butchering rare fish will not give rare fillets'''Note''' - Not all marine life in Wurm is catchable with a fishing rod. Marine life falling into this category must be killed in combat or die on its own in order to be harvested from the sea: [[Octopus]], [[Seal]], [[Blue whale]], [[Shark_(creature)]], [[Crab]], [[Dolphin]], [[Sea serpent]].

* When catching white or blue sharks, they deal a small [[poison]] damage wound. If left to heal naturally, this has a very small chance to kill you on the healing tick.
== Description ==
'''Fishing''' is the skill of catching [[fish]]. It affects the types of fish caught, their weight, and your overall success rate in catching fish.
== Method ==
Known data points revealed by the Lore function include:
* The most-common species of fish you'''Embarked re likely to catch on Boatthis tile. This info is available at even very low fishing skill.* The type of tile:'''pond, lake, lake shallows, sea, or sea shallows. This info requires a higher fishing skill to reveal (works at 88 skill, but more testing is needed to establish the minimum threshold).* The depth in metres of the tile. This info requires a higher fishing skill to reveal (works at 88 skill, but more testing is needed to establish the minimum threshold).* What other species of fish may be caught on the tile, if any. This requires skill of ~29. * Whether your rod is currently baited. This info requires a higher fishing skill to reveal (works at 88 skill, but more testing is needed to establish the minimum threshold).
===Spear fishing===
# Right-click on a tile > '''Start fishing''
# A timer will start, waiting for fish to arrive.
*A fish will appear and slowly swim fairly close to you. It will pass just in front of you.
*You can try to spear it by launching your [[spear]] or [[long spear]] (e.g. left-click) near the fish.
**If you hit it, you catch a fish.
**If you miss it, it will swim away. It’s also possible to hit your own foot!
*If you decide to leave the fish alone, it will swim on past. Once out of range after a delay a new fish should turn up.
===Net fishing===# Right-click on a tile > '''NoteStart fishing''' - When fishing by boat# A timer will start, due waiting for fish to the forces of wind arrive.*The net will sway on screen and current, it no other action is often necessary for the captain required.** Nets will need to either moor the boat with an [[anchor]] or disembark and then re-embark as be emptied once a passenger. This will secure the boat from further movement and then make fishing possibleitem is caught.
== Types of Fish Harvestable Through FishingEquipment==You will need a fishing pole or rod, equipped with a fishing reel, fishing line, float and hook. You can also catch small fish using a [[fishing net]].
===Fishing Reels===
There are four types of fishing reels, which are used for catching different types of fish:
[[Light fishing reel]]
[[Medium fishing reel]]
[[Deep water fishing reel]]
[[Professional fishing reel]]
Rare reels also make it easier to reel the fish in.
===[[Handles]]===
Different handles are used when making certain reels, they are:
[[Handle]] - same item as current in-game version.
[[Leather wound handle]] - same item as current in-game version
[[Reinforced handle]]
[[Padded handle]]
===Special tile fish[[Fishing Line]]===* [[Octopus (Basic fishing)|Octopusline]] 0.1 kg/ql- used on pole, may only contain a (wood or metal) hook* [[SailfishLight fishing line]] 0.1 kg/ql::Sailfish have a high chance to snap your - used on light fishing line compared reel, used to other catch smaller fish of the same size.* [[DoradoMedium fishing line]] 0.3 kg/ql- used on medium fishing reel, used to catch medium fish* [[Blue sharkHeavy fishing line]] 0.4 kg/ql- used on deep water fishing reel, used to catch large fish* [[TunaBraided fishing line]] 0.6 kg/ql*[[Marlin]] 2.0 kg/ql*[[White shark]] 2.0 kg/ql- used on professional fishing reel, used to catch ‘special’ fish
[[Feather|Feathers]] - part of butchered loot from rooster, pheasant and hen.
[[Twig]] - found on bush tiles.
[[Small moss]] - taken from moss. Cut a piece of moss with a carving knife.
[[Bark]] - found on overaged birch trees, with any item activated
===[[Hook]]s===
Hooks are added to lines to catch fish. There are 3 types of hook:
[[Wooden fishing hook]] - same as current item, better for fly fishing
[[Metal fishing hook]] - same as current item, better for deep water / sea fishing
[[Bone fishing hook]] - made from goblin skulls

When used on a hook, baits increase the chance of catching a particular fish. There are 12 types of bait:
[[Fly|Fly]] - You catch these using a pottery jar with a bit of honey in it, on animals that require grooming.
[[Small piece of cheese]] - Cheese Broken into smaller pieces.
Dough ball - a small ball of dough.
[[Wurm]] - Found on dirt and mycelium tiles.
[[Sardine|Sardines]] - Caught using fishing nets in shallows.
[[Roach]] - Caught in shallow waters.
[[Perch]] - Caught in shallow waters.
[[Minnow|Minnow]] - Caught in caves.
[[Bit of fish]] - Small fish chopped up.
[[Grub]] - Found in shrivelled trees, prised out using an awl.
[[Grain of wheat]] - from wheat!
[[Corn kernel]] - from corn.
Preferred water type (lake, sea, etc)
Minimum and maximum depth.
Feeding height.
Rod types.
Time of day - some fish like to feed in the morning, afternoon, evening or even at night
Baits - each fish has a favorite bait, some baits it likes, others it is less likely to eat, and some it will never touch.
Outside or in caves - some fish are only found underground
Special fish can only be caught on special tiles (which are out at sea).
In certain locations, far out at sea, one can find what are known as "special fishing tiles". These tiles are special because of their relatively low number Wurm-wide as well as the special types of fish which can be found there.
* Special fishing tiles will move with the seasons and provide different fish. This occurs at the beginning of a [[Wurm Universe|season change]].
* Non-special fish types may be caught on special tiles, but special fish can only be caught on special tiles, and a lesser chance if close to a center spot.
* These areas can overlap, so its possible to find places where two special fish can be caught.
* Aside from blind searching and perhaps some luck, a [[Lurker in the deep]] pendulum can be used to locate these special tiles.
* Special fishing tiles can disappear if the terrain around them is modified.
== Rarity in Fishing==* Takes slightly less damageRare rolls occur at the "Something Bites" event message: <br />{{event|inline|You have a moment of inspiration...<br/>Something bites.}}<br />
* Increases At lower skill, you may lose these fish more often than at higher skill levels. These fish are also slightly heavier than a regular fish of the average weight of fish caughtsame quality level and species.
* Increases catching frequencyRare fish can be used in meals, but they will not make the meal rare.
* Increases the chance at catching unique Butchering rare fish at special fishing spotswill not give rare fillets.
== Notes ==
* Rods and poles can be stored in a [[fishing rod rack]]
* Fish can be stored in water using a [[Fish keep net]] to reduce decay
* Catching heavier fish comes with a higher chance of line breakage.
* Larger fish start giving less than 1 fillet per 0.3 kg, and cap at 50 fillets per fish. This max cap tends to occur at around the 15 kg mark, but is also thought to be possibly related to the [[butchering]] skill.
* Willow rods take less damage from catching heavy fish.
* The fishing skill itself goes up as you fish (as the fishing action timer runs)Skill gain only happens on successfully hooking, not upon individual catches. Fishing will also provide or when the player with gains fish gets reeled in the area of Soul/[[Soul depth]].or otherwise catching a fish
* Fishing is close to impossible in small pools (less than 4x4) of water.
* The higher the quality of the fish, the more weight the fish will have. Each species has a weight-to-quality ratio. For example, a high quality roach will likely never outweigh any quality of catfish.
