Fishing

Fishing is the skill which allows players to catch fish (what else?). There are two kinds of fishing: passive and active. Passive fishing is fishing using nets, which can only be placed in deep water. After the net is placed (usually by boat or by swimming)you should check back on it in order to gather your catch. Checking is done through the fishing skill, and neglecting a net will mean its fish will rot.

Active fishing is fishing using either a club, javelin/spear or fishing rod, in order of least effective to most effective. To do so, pick a direction to fish in. Fishing lasts for a long time, around 3 in-game hours.

Fishing is a good way to gather food, which makes it a good choice for newcomers.
