'''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==
<!-- 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. 
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.

=Fishing Stats=
There are various stats that can be gained through levels and equipment that affect fishing.

===Effective Fishing Level===
Effective fishing level is the combination of the players fishing and mastery level and the fishing stats on equipment.
It affects various secondary stats:

*Chance of finding and gathering from a node
*Rarity of resources
*Quantity of resources in a node
*Chance to preserve bait

===Bait Preservation===
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%. 

Bait preservation is reduced by [[Deadliest Catch]] but cannot go lower than 0%.

===Bait Power===
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===
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.
