'''Fishing''' is a gathering skill that allows players to catch raw fish and gather fibers. Fish can be prepared using the [[Cooking]] skill, while fibers are used in [[Runecrafting#Cloth Weaving|Cloth Weaving]].

Four zones are available for aspiring fishers, each offering different fish to be caught. The time required per fishing action is dependent on the player's haste, and can be lowered with the [[Scroll of Haste|haste enchantment]]. Each action, the player has a certain chance of successfully catching one of the fishes available at that location. This chance will start at 20% and gradually increase with increasing level, up to a maximum of 100%. Although the theoretical maximum chance in the last area is 81.3%, this can be boosted to 100% using [[Scroll of Fishing|fishing enchantment]] scrolls.
+
Fishing was reworked and released in the v0.10.0 update, it received a massive overhaul and was the first gathering skill in Idlescape that used the node system. Gathering with a node system increases the amount of gathering areas without increasing the amount of zones, the player starts fishing in a zone and nodes are found by the player while fishing and are dependent on the effective fishing level and bait power stats, higher numbers in those stats gives increased node find chance and decreased find speed.
  
−
The caught fish can be cooked to offer hitpoint replenishment while [[Combat|fighting]] and various buffs for out of combat actions. See [[cooking]] for more information.
+
The caught fish can be prepared with the [[Cooking]] skill to create [[Filleted Fish]] and [[Fish Oil]], as well as some essences depending on the fish. These can be used to create food, buff food, or buff potions. There are different recipes that can be used for different benefits, more information can be found on the [[Cooking]] page.
  
−
Players have a small chance of obtaining [[Sunken Treasure|sunken treasures]]. These can be opened for gold and sometimes [[gem]]s. More importantly, these treasures have a rare chance of dropping [[talismans]] used in [[runecrafting]], and an even rarer chance of dropping [[Modified Diving Gloves]] or a [[Forgotten Soul]].
+
Fibers gathered through '''Fishing''' are used to [[Runecrafting#Cloth Weaving|weave cloth]] which can then be used to [[Crafting|craft]] magic equipment for [[Combat]].
 +
 
 +
Players have a small chance of obtaining either [[Sunken Treasure]]s or [[Ancient Treasure]]s. Ancient treasures have a rare chance to drop fishing gear such as [[Ancient Harpoon]], [[Ancient Fishing Net]] and [[Ancient Fishing Rod]] which are used to craft Idlescape's first legendary tier tool, the [[Ocean's Embrace]]. Sunken treasures have a rare chance of dropping [[Modified Diving Gloves]] or a [[Forgotten Soul]].
  
 
==Equipment==
 
==Equipment==
−
Different equipment is needed to fish in each individual fishing zone. This equipment is created in the [[crafting]] menu. All fishing equipment items are permanent which means players only need 1. While fishing in Lazy River a single feather is consumed for each attempted cast. Feathers can be purchased from the general shop, the market, or obtained by killing [[chicken]]s in the combat zone [[Farm]]. It is possible to vault fishing items and still use them for fishing.  
+
Fishing equipment serves to boost your stats, increasing the chances of succeeding in fishing as well as decreasing the time needed. Wearing the Fisherman's [[Fisherman's Bucket Hat|Bucket Hat]], [[Fisherman's Smock|Smock]], and [[Fisherman's Waders|Waders]] together provides the player with a 15% stat buff, together with the [[Ocean's Embrace]] this rises to a 30% buff.

The xp per hour figures shown below are without any boosts, using only the base equipment.

Bait can be used by clicking on it and moving it into the tacklebox. This is separate from [[:Category:Tacklebox|tacklebox]] equipment and can be used even without one equipped.

The [[Stormy Seas]] is a dangerous location. While fishing there, a [[Swordfish]], [[Ascended]] or Swordfish Champion will occasionally spawn and attack the player. This fight cannot be escaped from, and losing will lock the player out of the location for 15 minutes.
  
−
The theoretical maximum xp rate per hour is 143,029, although no fish is obtained this way:

=Fishing Stats=
 +
There are various stats that can be gained through levels and equipment that affect fishing.
  
−
*Harpoon fishing at level 99
+
===Effective Fishing Level===
−
*[[Prismatic Ring]] or [[Prismatic Necklace]] with 6 [[Scroll of Haste|haste scrolls]] (-24% action timer)

Effective fishing level is the combination of the players fishing and mastery level and the fishing stats on equipment.
−
*[[Prismatic Ring]] or [[Prismatic Necklace]] with 6 [[Scroll of the Scholar|scholar scrolls]] (+120% xp, but no items gained)
+
It affects various secondary stats:
−
*[[Boots]] or [[Gloves]] (at least adamant) with at least 4 [[Scroll of Fishing|fishing scrolls]] (+20% catch chance)

−
*Harpoon fishing at level 99
+
===Bait Preservation===
−
*[[Prismatic Ring]] or [[Prismatic Necklace]] with 6 [[Scroll of Haste|haste scrolls]] (-24% action timer)
+
Bait preservation comes from both effective fishing level and the [[Bait Preservation|enchantment]] of the same name which comes enchanted by default on the [[Fisherman's Bucket Hat]]. It determines the chance that a bait is used on an action and is capped at 50%.
−
*[[Prismatic Ring]] or [[Prismatic Necklace]] with 6 [[Scroll of Gathering|gathering scrolls]] (+60% chance of an extra resource)
 
−
*[[Boots]] or [[Gloves]] (at least adamant) with at least 4 [[Scroll of Fishing|fishing scrolls]] (+20% catch chance)

== Catch Chance ==
+
Bait preservation is reduced by [[Deadliest Catch]] but cannot go lower than 0%.
−
The chance for catching a fish is as follows:
 
  
−
<math>catchChance = min \left (1, max \left ( 0.2, 0.2 + \frac {FishingLvl - LvlRequired}{80} + EnchantPower \right )\right )\times 100%</math>

 This page or section is incomplete and could use improvement.
Reason: Refactor March 02, 2023
You can discuss this issue on the talk page or edit this page to improve it.
This page is about the skill. For the enchantment, see Fishing (Enchantment).
Fishing UI

Fishing is a gathering skill that allows players to catch raw fish and gather fibers. Fish can be prepared using the Cooking skill, while fibers are used in Cloth Weaving.

General

Fishing was reworked and released in the v0.10.0 update, it received a massive overhaul and was the first gathering skill in Idlescape that used the node system. Gathering with a node system increases the amount of gathering areas without increasing the amount of zones, the player starts fishing in a zone and nodes are found by the player while fishing and are dependent on the effective fishing level and bait power stats, higher numbers in those stats gives increased node find chance and decreased find speed.

The caught fish can be prepared with the Cooking skill to create Filleted Fish and Fish Oil, as well as some essences depending on the fish. These can be used to create food, buff food, or buff potions. There are different recipes that can be used for different benefits, more information can be found on the Cooking page.

Fibers gathered through Fishing are used to weave cloth which can then be used to craft magic equipment for Combat.

Players have a small chance of obtaining either Sunken Treasures or Ancient Treasures. Ancient treasures have a rare chance to drop fishing gear such as Ancient Harpoon, Ancient Fishing Net and Ancient Fishing Rod which are used to craft Idlescape's first legendary tier tool, the Ocean's Embrace. Sunken treasures have a rare chance of dropping Modified Diving Gloves or a Forgotten Soul.

Equipment

Fishing equipment serves to boost your stats, increasing the chances of succeeding in fishing as well as decreasing the time needed. Wearing the Fisherman's Bucket Hat, Smock, and Waders together provides the player with a 15% stat buff, together with the Ocean's Embrace this rises to a 30% buff.
