How to use

Use a fishing pole and target suitable water within reach. You can also fish while mounted. Aboard a ship, double-click a Fishing Net to cast a net that works for 10 seconds.

Volantis-specific rules

Wait 2 seconds after the last accepted cast before throwing another net. Up to six nets can work on a ship at once. Each catches 1–3 fish every 2 seconds: five catches and a total of 5–15 fish while there is room in the hold over 10 seconds. Fish of the same type and properties stack together in the hold. Cut your catch and prepare it with Cooking. The naval guide explains net fishing and SoS bottles.

How do I raise it?

Active skills can be used from 0.0. Recipes and special abilities retain their own skill requirements; Teacher training is optional. Skill gain chance after a valid completed use %70; a successful gain adds 0.1 points.

1. Use a Fishing Pole and target reachable water where fishing is allowed. Wait for the result of each attempt.
2. Move to another suitable spot when resources run out. Do not interrupt an ongoing attempt by repeatedly using the pole; cast again after collecting the fish.

Time per attempt: 8 seconds. An interrupted action is not a completed attempt; success and material checks still apply.

Progress and Real Skill Value

Set the skill lock to increase. The individual skill cap is 100 and the total cap is 700; when the total is full, set another skill to decrease. Learning is rolled independently for every valid use, so gains are not guaranteed on every attempt unless the chance is 100%. Skill gain is disabled in designated safe areas.

The Skills screen shows your real skill value. Eligible skills below 30 can be trained by the Teacher; further progress comes from valid actions for that skill. A stat lock does not lock skill gain.
