GUIDE [Guide] Fishing

[Ice]

This guide will go over the new fishing system that was added to the server. The new system that has been implemented is an older system from before the Monoford update. The guide to the now "old" fishing system can be found here.

How to start fishing
If you have played on Rockford or Paralake, then you should be familiar with this fishing system.
The only thing required to start fishing is a rod and some bait. A rod and bait can be purchased from the fishing dock npc.
Once you've purchased your bait and rod, you can begin fishing.

Note: This system only requires you to purchase one type of bait to fish, which is small lure bait.

Spoiler: Having Trouble Finding the Fishing Dock?

Having Trouble finding the fishing dock?
Hold c and click the Mono-Tablet icon towards the bottom left of the screen.

Then click the Mono Map icon

Move around the Mono Map by holding down your mouse and set a location by double clicking.
The fishing dock can be found on layer 1 towards the upper part of the map.

How and where to fish
You can fish in any water source on the map. Walk up to a water source and left click to cast your line out.

You can tell if a fish is hooked if there is a splashing animation in the water. Once you see the splashing, right click to reel the fish in. Depending on your luck, you'll either catch a fish or the fish will escape.

Leveling
As you begin to catch fish, you will gain xp for every fish caught. This xp will accumulate to level up your fishing skill. The higher your fishing level, the more types of fish you can catch.

Selling Fish
There are two ways to sell fish. You can either sell your raw fish directly to the npc at the fishing dock, or cook your fish and sell it for more to the npc at the super market.

Spoiler: How to sell to npcs

To sell to the npcs open your inventory while looking at the correct npc and left click on the item you want to sell. A sell option should pop up towards the middle of the screen

If any new updates occur, I will be sure to update the contents of this guide.​

Once you level up to a different fish will you only receive that fish or will you also get everything below that level too?

You'll get everything below as well.

There is currently a bug which allows you to fish without bait. The devs will probably fix it soon.

is fishing profitable?

 

[Hector]

is fishing profitable?

its not really worth your time tbh

 

[Astero]

Well, fishing can be profitable with time; especially when you cook it and level up your skill. Much like the dillemas of Mining and Woodcutting. XP? Do Woodcutting. Money? Mining or Fishing. Mixture of both? Woodcutting and fishing. Depending on your preference, marketing skills, and dedication is really up to you. But when it comes to profit from NPCs, most likely Mining and smelting the ore, then selling it. Woodcutting and Fishing are just very useful for player necessities such as food and the initial ingredient of crafting, lumber. Again it is all based on what you enjoy on doing is what matters depending on what you are looking for in the different skills. Personally, I enjoy woodcutting as I need XP; however, very valuable if you level it up and begin a business by selling high quality material in bulk.

I'm not getting that splashing animation when a fish is on the hook but I reel it in when the timer reaches like 1-2 seconds left. Is this because I don't have something installed/mounted or is this just a in-game bug RN? Thanks for the guide though!

It's a bug that affects some players. If you don't see the splashing, pull the line up at around 15 - 20 seconds, that's around the time where it occurs.
