Editing Fishing (section)

== 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.
