== Guide to Fishing ==
# Obtain a [[Wood Heart]] or [[Golem Jo]].
# Head to one of the [[Tackle Master]]s (see list below) and hand him either of the two items to receive a [[Fishing Pole]].
# Hand him a [[Trade Note (10,000)]] to obtain the right to fish for 20 hours.
# Equip the [[Fishing Pole]] and target a [[Fishing Hole]] (using the "R" key works fine).
# Once you have caught fishes, you can hand them back to the fishing hole to increase your fishing skill. You can view your current skill on the [[Character Information]] panel (yellow backpack icon on the interface).
# Skill points awarded vary by fish type (see below). As your fishing skill increases, you will be able to catch larger fish.
# After a catching a certain amount of one fish type (see below), hand one of that type to the [[Tackle Master]] to receive a title token.
#* '''Important|''' Once you have caught 400 [[Minnow]]s, talk to the Tackle Master immediately to receive your title! If you catch 600 [[Minnow]]s before talking to the NPC to receive your Pond Scum title, you will *ONLY* receive the Skipper title, and will not be able to receive the Pond Scum title!  Once you pass 1,500 minnows you will be able to receive a second token from the Tackle Master.  This token will state that you are earning the title of "??????????" - turn that token in for the title of "Skipper."
# You can also fish other items out of the fishing holes including rusted weapons, jewelry and rare finds such as housing items.
# Fishes can be given to the [[Tackle Master]] for expired potions and sometimes pyreals. The bigger the fish you hand in the better the reward will be.

=== Raising your Skill ===
Handing the fish you've caught back to the hole will often give you points in your fishing skill, depending on the message you receive upon doing so: 
# If the message comes that the fish is stunned, you get no points:
#* It seems a bit stunned, but after a few seconds it swims away.
# If the message comes that the fish swims away strongly, you get 1 point:
#* The fish splashes happily into the water. It seems shaken, but swims away strongly.
# If the message comes that the fish splashes happily (without the swimming), you get 2 points:
#* The fish splashes happily into the water.
#* The fish splashes happily into the water. It seems fine and swims away quickly.

;Tackle Master
|Tackle Master tells you, "You need three things to be a good fisherman."
|Tackle Master tells you, "First, you need a fishing pole. I can make one for you, but I'll need a Golem Jo or a Wood Golem Heart to assemble it. I remember my first fishing pole, it was just a stick with some string. I couldn't catch a cold with that thing."
|Tackle Master tells you, "Second, you need a fishing license. I sell licenses for a C note, allowing you to fish for a whole day."
|Tackle Master tells you, "And last, you need patience. Just enjoy the peace that fishing brings and talk to your fellow fisherman, but don't believe all their fish stories, heh."
|Tackle Master tells you, "Here take this fishing guide. It has everything you need to know."
|Tackle Master gives you Fishing Made Easy.

----

|Tackle Master tells you, "I license fisherman for a C note. That covers you for an entire day."
|Tackle Master tells you, "If you still need help getting ready to fish I sell a good beginner's fishing guide for only a few coins. Just hand me whatever you can and I'll give you a guide."
|You give Tackle Master Wood Heart.
|Tackle Master tells you, "Your giving your heart to me? Bwahaha, just joking, this should make a nice pole. I'll just carve it and assemble your fishing pole. Wait here a moment."
|Tackle Master gives you Fishing Pole.
|Tackle Master tells you, "There you go. The string part with the hook goes into the water and you hold onto the stick part. I can't tell you how many beginner fisherman just toss the whole thing into the water. Of course they always claim they lost it to some huge whale or something."

;Handing in Items
|You give Tackle Master Fishing Made Easy.
|Tackle Master tells you, "Oh, I guess you don't need this. If you already have your fishing pole, just give me a C note and I'll license you to go fishing for the day. The license covers all fishing holes run by the Department of Fish and Games."

----
|You give Tackle Master Trade Note (10,000).
|Tackle Master tells you, "So you want to go fishing, eh? Ok then, lets see here..."
|Tackle Master tells you, "You know, I used to fish back in Ispar. One time I had this giant fish on the line and it was a real fighter. Had to lash... oh, right, sorry, you're all set. Remember the license is only good for a day, so catch a big one before then!"
|Tackle Master tells you, "Oh, I also supply the local grocers with fresh fish, so I'll buy your catch from you if you like. I pay a lot more than most grocers will, because I know the fish are fresh. Good luck and remember to throw the small ones back."

----
|You give Tackle Master Trade Note (10,000).
|Tackle Master tells you, "Welcome back! You'll be wanting a license..."
|Tackle Master tells you, "Hmmm, money... put you down on the list... Ok, you're licensed for the day."
|Tackle Master tells you, "Don't forget that I'll buy your catch if you're willing to sell. Good luck and remember to throw the small ones back."
|Tackle Master tells you, "I see you're already licensed to fish. Make sure you have your rod ready and don't crowd the other fisherman. If you still need to get a fishing pole, I'll give you the instructions for a few pyreal."

----
|You give Tackle Master Pink Minnow.
|Tackle Master gives you Expired Health Draught.
|You notice what looks like a date scratched out on the side of the bottle.
|Tackle Master tells you, "I get these potions wholesale from the healers!"
|Tackle Master tells you, "You know, I just have to release these little ones. Why do you bother to keep catching these anyway? Have you heard of a thing called catch and release?"

----
|You give Tackle Master Yellow Minnow.
|Tackle Master gives you 10 Pyreals.
|Tackle Master tells you, "You know, I just have to release these little ones. Why do you bother to keep catching these anyway? Have you heard of a thing called catch and release?"

----
|You give Tackle Master Orange Molly.
|Tackle Master gives you Expired Health Potion.
|Tackle Master tells you, "Just hold your nose when you drink that."
|Tackle Master tells you, "Thank you, come again."

----
|You give Tackle Master Large Brown Fish.
|Tackle Master gives you Expired Health Tincture.
|Tackle Master tells you, "What? No, that potion is still good! They get better with age, like wine."
|Tackle Master tells you, "Thank you, come again."
