Fishing

Fishing is the process of using a fishing rod and worms to obtain fish from a body of water. To fish, simply use a fishing rod on an above ground body of water (for some reason, in the water in Mintwallin, you can catch fish even though it is underground, this also applies for the lake under the hunters' spawn south of outlaw camp) while holding worms. Each square of water has a fish in it, and after you have caught it, another fish cannot be caught in that square until it has respawned. An area which has been fished out has had either all or most of the squares fished, and the area must regenerate before new fish can be caught there. Also, even if water is reachable from inside a protection zone (such as a house or depot) you can not catch fish from it. This feature was implemented to prevent macro fishers from gaining skills unfairly. Fishing is also the skill in Tibia which controls how many tries are needed to catch a fish. To increase your fishing skill, fish. You must fish with worms, and you must fish in a place that has not been fished out. Hint: When you are fishing, you gain experience in the skill every time you make a try in a fishing spot on the water until you catch the fish. Therefore, you can cast in the same spot continually until you get the fish, gaining experience the whole time. Working in a grid across the body of water is best. This will prevent fishing spots in which you have already caught fish, and increase the time you can spend standing in the same spot on the shore.
