Fishing

For technical information on Fishing, see Fishing/Technical.

Fishing is a perception based skill that allows you gather water-related materials from pools as well as catch fish from water. Gathering materials from a pool is very difficult without this skill.

Fishing is practically a required skill for those following Ehekatl of Luck, as it is difficult to get fish any other way.

Catching fish

Catching fish requires bait mixed (B) with a fishing pole to perform. You then need to use (t) the fishing pole while standing next to a water tile. Each bait has roughly 20 uses before a new bait needs to be added. An already-baited pole can be baited again with the same bait, adding to the total number of uses before re-baiting is necessary. Baiting an already baited pole with a different bait is the same as baiting an un-baited pole: You'll get roughly 20 uses and the previous bait will be lost.

Fishing usually consumes time, both real-world time for the animation and multiple turns in-game.

Fishing poles are uncommon tools sold in shops and found in dungeons. Vernis and Lumiest have fishing shops that sell bait. Those with pickpocketing can just pick a rod off the floor in the shop. There is an additional fishing pole in the wizard/trainer's house in Lumiest.

Water tiles can be found in Vernis, Lumiest, Port Kapul, and Palmia. Palmia serves as a good fishing location for raising favor, as there is a nearby altar within the healer's shop. If you have either a cyber house or small castle, you can place deep water tiles in your home (or any other property) at the cost of temporarily creating unwalkable space. If you have a small castle, you can copy the shallow water tiles to create more shallow (and walkable) water tiles. If you don't mind cheating you can use the map editor to add water tiles to houses cheaper than the cyber house.

Bring baited fishing poles inside of dungeons, you could come to a floor that is flooded and can fish on the dry parts of the floor. If there are no dry parts Dig a wall or a pillar to create a dry spot.

Bait and Fishing Table

Bait influences what you can catch in water and your Fishing skill determines the level of bait you can use. The more expensive the lure, the more difficult it is to catch anything, but the fish caught with them boost stats more and can be sold for a lot more (good cooking magnifies both nutritional and market value).

Fish can be cooked as food, or offered up to Ehekatl if one worships her. Junk only exists to be sold for a small profit (it looks like identifying junk decreases its worth, so don't do it), or to be traded in I want it! quests.

A full list of fish and where to find them is maintained by HunterSilver - Fish spreadsheet (Google Drive).

Trained skill

You may learn Fishing from the trainers in Vernis, Port Kapul, and Lumiest.

Elona+

It takes fewer turns to catch a fish, but time passes faster. You can turn on auto-fish for 1-6 hours. Fish rot after 8 hours when not on water tiles.

If you have the <Super Lure> in your inventory, fishing will only take one turn in-game and will finish instantly in real-world time; however, fishing will train more slowly this way.

Using the House Board, water tiles can be placed in any property regardless of how cheap the home is. Only three water tiles at top and bottom of the design list are suitable for fishing.

Fish can be kept fresh in bodies of water, as long as you are able to drop them in on time. Once the fish are submerged in water, ground bait crafted with pot for fusion can be used (t) on them to increase quality of the fish, their price for selling, and a chance to receive special rewards based on the type of fish it was fed to.

Pets who have the skill and have an impression(>100) can collect materials by defeating enemies. You can then interact with them by Talk->Receive Materials to get the materials they have collected. There is a hidden point scale where they upgrade to better materials as they constantly kill so long as you don't ask for their materials. Talk to them every couple of weeks and they give you a couple stacks of high grade materials.

Omake Overhaul

Nasuko Custom

When you finish fishing, you will now have the option to fish again.

At this time, if there is no bait on the fishing rod, you can attach bait to it.

Special Fish

You can catch special fish in places that meet the conditions. Special fish cannot be cooked. When special fish are appraised, each one is given a different name, and each one has a different weight. You can know the value of the fish. The value changes depending on the weight. Special fish do not spoil.

Name	Availability
common king fish	Always, everywhere.
cave nushi	Cave maps.
void fish	The Void or Naraku.
ether fish	Inside strange random Nefia (Anomalous Dungeons?) or outdoors when the weather is etherwind.
undead fish	In the Crypt of the Damned.

For places without naturally occurring fishable tiles, Danalin's gem stone can be used to convert some tiles to fishable water tiles.

Elona Mobile

Fishing in Elona Mobile is basically the same, but does not require bait.

Fishing can be trained by searching Small Pond piles, found in Fort type random dungeons.
