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

==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 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

Players have a small chance of obtaining either [[sunken treasure]]s or [[ancient treasure]]s. These can be opened for gold and sometimes [[gem]]s. 

Ancient treasures have a rare chance of dropping fishing gear such as [[Ancient Harpoon]], [[Ancient Net]] and [[Ancient Rod]] which are used to craft Idlescape's first legendary item [[Ocean's Embrace]] 

Sunken treasures have a rare chance of dropping [[Modified Diving Gloves]] or a [[Forgotten Soul]].

==Equipment==
<!-- removed 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. 
Fishing level requirements for zones still exist and are on about the same level as before.

==Theoretical Max Exp==

The theoretical maximum xp rate per hour is 143,029, although no fish is obtained this way:

*Harpoon fishing at level 99
*[[Prismatic Ring]] or [[Prismatic Necklace]] with 6 [[Scroll of Haste|haste scrolls]] (-24% action timer)
*[[Prismatic Ring]] or [[Prismatic Necklace]] with 6 [[Scroll of the Scholar|scholar scrolls]] (+120% xp, but no items gained)
*[[Boots]] or [[Gloves]] (at least adamant) with at least 4 [[Scroll of Fishing|fishing scrolls]] (+20% catch chance)

The theoretical maximum amount of sharks per hour is 371, for 65,013 xp per hour:

*Harpoon fishing at level 99
*[[Prismatic Ring]] or [[Prismatic Necklace]] with 6 [[Scroll of Haste|haste scrolls]] (-24% action timer)
*[[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==
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>

==Fish Type Chance==
Frequency of catching low and high tier fish.

<math> lowFrequency = 100 + EffFishingLvl </math>

<math> highFrequency = 50 + EffFishingLvl </math>


Chance to catch high tier fish.

<math> highCatchChance = \frac{highFrequency}{lowFrequency + highFrequency} \times 100% </math>
