Where's my fishing pole?

If your just starting out you will need to get yourself a good fishing pole. As part of the Explorer Societies fishing program the DoFG, Department of Fish and Games, provides the Tacklemasters with most of the components to craft your pole. All you need do is find a Wood Golem Heart or Golem Jo and turn it into the Tacklemaster who will assemble a new fishing pole just for you.

Finding a place to fish.

We have designated a number of fishing holes for licensed fishing.

Holtburg - Waterfront
Yaraq - Waterfront
Shoushi - Waterfront
Nanto - Waterfall
Rithwic - Bridge
Cragstone - Waterfall

As the DoFG finds locations, new Fishing Holes will be opened.

Do you have a license?

To insure the stability of our fishing industry the DoFG is keeping close track of who is fishing and what they catch. This means that you need a license to fish. Licenses may be purchased for a reasonable rate at Tacklemaster Shacks located at every Fishing Hole.

ATTENTION!!!

Fishing without a license is strictly prohibited and Poachers will be dealt with severely!

Fishing for Profit

All catches should be reported. As an incentive the Tacklemasters will award exceptional fisherman with Titles. The required fish counts will be posted at each Fishing Hole.

Catch and release is encouraged for smaller catches. Tacklemasters are also licensed Fish Dealers and will buy your catches at the fair marked price if you wish to sell to them.

Fishing for Fun

Of course above all fishing is supposed to be fun. So stay safe and enjoy your new past-time relaxing after a hard day of defending our lands from the evils of Dereth. Take in the calming beauty of the Fishing Holes as you chat with your fellow Fisherman. See you out there!

Notes Edit

Received from a Tackle Master after speaking to him, or in return for some pyreal coins.

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."
