'''Fishing''' is a gathering skill that allows players to catch raw fish. These fish can then be cooked using the [[cooking]] skill.

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.

The caught fish can be cooked with the [[cooking]] skill to offer hitpoint replenishment while [[Combat|fighting]] and various buffs for out of combat actions. There are a lot of different recipes that can be used for different benefits, more information can be found on the [[cooking]] page

==Equipment==
<!-- remove after some time and change to a more "rework is old now" text -->After the rework, equipment were changed drastically, meaning you no longer need a special type of gear to fish in an area, but rather having enough stats to actually being able to find nodes.
+
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 level requirements for zones still exist and are on about the same level as before.

The [[Stormy Seas]] is a dangerous location. While fishing there, a [[Swordfish]] or [[Ascended]] 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.

*[[Boots]] or [[Gloves]] (at least adamant) with at least 4 [[Scroll of Fishing|fishing scrolls]] (+20% catch chance)
  
===Effective Fishing Level===
+
== Catch Chance ==
Effective fishing level is the combination of the players fishing and mastery level and the fishing stats on equipment.
+
The chance for catching a fish is as follows:
It affects various secondary stats:
 
  
*Chance of finding and gathering from a node
+
<math>catchChance = min \left (1, max \left ( 0.2, 0.2 + \frac {FishingLvl - LvlRequired}{80} + EnchantPower \right )\right )\times 100%</math>
*Rarity of resources
 
*Quantity of resources in a node
 
*Chance to preserve bait
 
  
===Bait Preservation===
+
==Fish Type Chance==
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%.  
+
Frequency of catching low and high tier fish.
  
Bait preservation is reduced by [[Deadliest Catch]] but cannot go lower than 0%.
+
<math> lowFrequency = 100 + EffFishingLvl </math>
  
===Bait Power===
+
<math> highFrequency = 50 + EffFishingLvl </math>
Increases the chance and speed of finding nodes, and the size of nodes found. Chance is capped at 100% and speed is capped at 1 second.
 
  
===Reel Power===
 
Increases the chance and speed of gathering resources. Chance is capped at 100% and speed is capped at 1 second.
 
  
===Bonus Rarity===
+
Chance to catch high tier fish.
Some nodes require a certain bonus rarity to start appearing. Rare resources require a rarity higher than the node.
 
Nodes and resources have a cap where bonus rarity above will not provide additional drop frequency.
 
  
Bonus Rarity must be above the minimum rarity for resources to appear. Resources not listed here require no bonus rarity to collect.
+
<math> highCatchChance = \frac{highFrequency}{lowFrequency + highFrequency} \times 100% </math>
