Fishing

Fish can be seen as two different size shadows in bodies of water. Fish spawns are decided by location and season; time of day and weather do not impact what types of fish spawn in the various areas. To catch fish the player will need a fishing rod and cast out their line towards the fish shadows in the water.

To cast a fishing rod, the player must hold down the LMB (left mouse button). The mouse cursor will indicate the direction in which the line will be cast (up, down, left, right). The meter that appears indicates how far the line will be cast. Releasing the LMB also releases the line.

Attached to the end of the line is the bobber. If a fish bites, the bobber may wiggle several times. To catch the fish, press the LMB when the bobber fully submerges with a louder sound indicator. This will begin the fishing mini game. The fish may escape at times, however once a fish is caught, the player holds it whilst displaying the information of the catch.

If the player hits the "sweet spot", which is an optional smaller target area, they will be rewarded with 30% bonus base fish experience. This bonus does not increase the flat Fishing EXP Bonus from skills.
