'''Fishing''' is a gathering skill that allows players to catch raw fish. These fish can then be cooked using the [[Cooking|cooking]] skill.<br />
 +
==General==
 +
Four areas are available for aspiring fishers, each offering different fish to be caught. The time required per fishing action is always exactly 10 seconds. 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 enchantment scrolls.

+
The caught fish can be cooked to offer hitpoint replenishment while [[Combat|fighting]] and various buffs for out of combat actions. See [[cooking|cooking]] for more information.
−
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 Fishing Net]] and [[Ancient Fishing 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]].
 
  
 +
Players have a small chance of obtaining [[Sunken Treasure|sunken treasures]]. These can be opened for gold and sometimes [[Gem|gems]]. More importantly, these treasures have a small chance of dropping [[Talisman|talismans]] used in [[Runecrafting|runecrafting]], and an even smaller chance of dropping a [[Forgotten Soul|forgotten soul]].<br />
 
==Equipment==
 
==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.
+
Several items are necessary to be able to fish at all areas.
−
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.
+
*note - this info may be out dated. As of the Mastery patch, gathering zones no longer have a level requirement for specific resources within the zone<br />
  
−
=Fishing Stats=
+
==Boosts==
−
There are various stats that can be gained through levels and equipment that affect fishing.
+
Several boosts can be applied to increase the fish gained and/or the experience received:
  
−
===Effective Fishing Level===
+
*[[Scroll Of Fishing|Scroll of fishing]] can enchant [[Boots|boots]] or [[Gloves|gloves]] to increase the chance of catching fish.
−
Effective fishing level is the combination of the players fishing and mastery level and the fishing stats on equipment.
+
*[[Scroll Of Haste|Scroll of haste]] can enchant [[Ring|rings]] or [[Necklace|necklaces]] to increase action speed.
−
It affects various secondary stats:
+
*[[Scroll Of Gathering|Scroll of gathering]] can enchant [[Ring|rings]] or [[Necklace|necklaces]] to give a chance to obtain extra resources.
 +
*[[Scroll Of Naturalist|Scroll of naturalist]] can enchant [[Boots|boots]] or [[Gloves|gloves]] to increase the odds of finding a [[Sunken Treasure|sunken treasure]].

===Bait Preservation===
+
*Harpoon fishing at level 99
−
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%.

 +
*[[Boots]] or [[Gloves|gloves]] (at least adamant) with at least 4 [[Scroll Of Fishing|fishing scrolls]] (+20% catch chance)

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

===Reel Power===
+
==Chances==
−
Increases the chance and speed of gathering resources. Chance is capped at 100% and speed is capped at 1 second.
+
The fishing skill is dependent on two chance-based factors: whether or not a catch succeeds, and what fish is caught when it does.
 +
===Catch success chance===
 +
The base success chance for each area is 20%. For every level gained above the minimum level requirement of an area, the success chance is increased by 1.25%, rounded to one decimal place. The chance can never be higher than 100%.
  
−
===Bonus Rarity===
+
The two lower areas reach 100% chance by level 99. The cage fishing area caps at 93.8% and the harpoon fishing location at 81.3%.  
−
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.
+
As of the new Mastery update, it is possible to raise the effective level of the fishing skill past 99, making it possible to get 100% catch rate in later zones without the fishing enchant.

===Fish type caught===
−
!'''Zone'''
+
Some areas contain two different types of fish. Up until the level needed for the higher-tier fish, 100% of the caught fish are of the lower tier. As soon as both fish can be caught, the chance of catching lower tier fish is 80% while the higher tier fish has a 20% chance to be caught. Each level after that increases the chance for the higher tier fish by 1%, up to a maximum of 50%. Because of this, 49% of all fish caught using a harpoon at level 99 will be sharks: 20 + (99 - 70) = 49%.
