| + | == About ==  | ||
| + | Fishing allows people to pull fresh fish (among other things) from bodies of water. It requires a fishing rod (e.g. [[Fishing Pole]]) and bait (e.g. [[Fishing Bait]] or [[Fishing Grubs]]).  | ||
| + | |||
| + | To fish, equip a rod in your main hand with bait in your inventory and stand near a body of water, then cast your line by using the Fishing skill. The smallest fishable body of water in the game is the small puddle in the tunnels leading from the [[West Freeport]] newbie area to [[North Freeport]]. Any body of water larger than that can also be fished in, including bodies of water inside dungeons.<br><br><br><br>  | ||
| + | |||
| + | * All fishing rods have a chance to break (and be destroyed) on use.  | ||
| + | * Bait is used on successful catches (whether fish or junk) and can also be lost on failed catches.  | ||
| + | * Fishing has a 10 second cooldown.  | ||
| + | * You can fish while sitting (meditating). You cannot fish while swimming.  | ||
| + | * If you receive the message about fishing for land sharks, make sure you're close enough to the water.  | ||
| + | * "Skill Mod: Fishing" on rods, baits, and lures is not classic and these skill modifiers are nonfunctional on Project 1999. [https://www.project1999.com/forums/showthread.php?t=254863] [https://www.project1999.com/forums/showthread.php?t=261699]  | ||
| + | * In order to begin the process of fishing, you must not have anything "in your hands" (on your cursor). This same limitation does not exist at the point in time when you would catch something.  | ||
| + | * If you do not meet the requirements for beginning the process of fishing (i.e. having an item on your cursor) then, when the skill is activated, you will not fish and the skill will be placed on cooldown.  | ||
| + | * setup a macro to /autoinventory the item on your cursor then /doa <fishing ability #>  | ||

| + | |||
| + | For most fish-related recipes, see [[Baking]].  | ||
| + | |||
| + | To make [[Fish Eggs]], combine either a [[Thunder Salmon]] or [[Greengill Salmon]] and a [[Skinning Knife]] in a [[Tackle Box]] (Trivial Fishing 135). It will produce 2 Fish Eggs and 2 [[Fish Scales]].  | ||
| + | |||
| + | Combine a [[Gunthak Mackerel]] and a Skinning Knife in a Tackle Box to make 5 Fishing Baits.  | ||
| + | |||
| + | You can make many varieties of lures that are used in place of bait but they have no special effects. These are all made in a [[Tackle Box]] purchasable along with the hooks in either [[The Feerrott]] from [[Kogg]] OR in [[Ocean of Tears]] on Zachariah Reigh island. [[Silk Thread]] is made in a [[Sewing Kit]] from 2 [[Spiderling Silk]].    | ||

They are not fished - you have to jump in the water and give them a chance to bite you back if you want them. These include: Rivervale Trout (Rivervale), Pirahnas (Rivervale), Cabilis Barracuda (Cabilis), and the infamous koalindl (N. Qeynos). Unsurprisingly, since the koalindl is a sacred fish, certain residents of Qeynos take offense if you kill it, so beware of faction hits, and guards that will try to kill you if you attack one of these little fish.  |

I am so tired. Leave me be. All I wish to do is fish! - Aglthin Dasmore
About
Fishing allows people to pull fresh fish (among other things) from bodies of water. It requires a fishing rod (e.g. Fishing Pole) and bait (e.g. Fishing Bait or Fishing Grubs).
To fish, equip a rod in your main hand with bait in your inventory and stand near a body of water, then cast your line by using the Fishing skill. The smallest fishable body of water in the game is the small puddle in the tunnels leading from the West Freeport newbie area to North Freeport. Any body of water larger than that can also be fished in, including bodies of water inside dungeons.
- All fishing rods have a chance to break (and be destroyed) on use.
 - Bait is used on successful catches (whether fish or junk) and can also be lost on failed catches.
 - Fishing has a 10 second cooldown.
 - You can fish while sitting (meditating). You cannot fish while swimming.
 - If you receive the message about fishing for land sharks, make sure you're close enough to the water.
 - "Skill Mod: Fishing" on rods, baits, and lures is not classic and these skill modifiers are nonfunctional on Project 1999. [1] [2]
 - In order to begin the process of fishing, you must not have anything "in your hands" (on your cursor). This same limitation does not exist at the point in time when you would catch something.
 - If you do not meet the requirements for beginning the process of fishing (i.e. having an item on your cursor) then, when the skill is activated, you will not fish and the skill will be placed on cooldown.
 - setup a macro to /autoinventory the item on your cursor then /doa <fishing ability #>
 
Classes
- All (Max: 200)
 
Fishing is level capped (5*level)+5, so if you are level 20, you can only build your fishing skill to 105.

Recipes
For most fish-related recipes, see Baking.
To make Fish Eggs, combine either a Thunder Salmon or Greengill Salmon and a Skinning Knife in a Tackle Box (Trivial Fishing 135). It will produce 2 Fish Eggs and 2 Fish Scales.
Combine a Gunthak Mackerel and a Skinning Knife in a Tackle Box to make 5 Fishing Baits.
You can make many varieties of lures that are used in place of bait but they have no special effects. These are all made in a Tackle Box purchasable along with the hooks in either The Feerrott from Kogg OR in Ocean of Tears on Zachariah Reigh island. Silk Thread is made in a Sewing Kit from 2 Spiderling Silk.

Zone-Specific Fishing
When fishing in various zones, you will find a wide variety of items being reeled in on your line. (Several zones still have fresh fish as their main fishing items, so bakers need not despair that they'll run out of normal fish for baking anytime soon.)
Also note that there are several fish that you have to kill to get. They are not fished - you have to jump in the water and give them a chance to bite you back if you want them. These include: Rivervale Trout (Rivervale), Pirahnas (Rivervale), Cabilis Barracuda (Cabilis), and the infamous koalindl (N. Qeynos). Unsurprisingly, since the koalindl is a sacred fish, certain residents of Qeynos take offense if you kill it, so beware of faction hits, and guards that will try to kill you if you attack one of these little fish.
