== Welcome == | |||
Welcome to the Lineage 2 Fishing Wiki. Here all players can post their information about fishing. I've started it out with all the information I've personally gathered on PTS so far, and now it's your turn. Only add information you have seen yourself, as you will be credited (or blamed) for it in the history logs. | |||
Enjoy. | |||

===How to Fish=== | == The Basics and How to Fish == | ||
Setup a hotbar with the fishing, pumping and reeling skills. | |||
=== Basics === | |||
Fishing is easy... Unless you overtrain your skills (more on that later). You need the Fishing, Fishing Expertise, Pumping, and Reeling skills. For equipment you need a fishing rod and some bait. All of these are available from the fishing NPC, usually in the magic shop in towns and on boat docks. | |||
You'll catch fish and treasure chests, which you double-click to turn into materials . These are used in Common Crafting, or to turn into the fishing NPC for "Proof of Catching a Fish" (refered to as "proofs" from now on) that can be used to learn skills. | |||
You'll also quickly go insane, it's booooooring. Luckily you don't need to fish all that much to get what you need. | |||
=== How to Fish === | |||
Setup a hotbar with the fishing, pumping and reeling skills. I also put my weapon, the fishing rod, and fishing shots in there. | |||

# | # Go to step 3 until bored. | ||
That's it, it's really that easy. You will catch fish, treasure chests, and very rarely a monster. | |||
Now for the messy details.... | |||

Level 1-26. This is the main skill in fishing. It determines what strength of fish you will be catching.

Fishing skills cost no SP, only adena. Like other things in fishing, they are very cheap, making it tempting to overtrain them. | |||

Rods work like any weapon, you need to use a rod that's your grade or lower, otherwise it won't work very well at all. When you're fishing, the damage you do to the fish depends on your weapon and on your skills. | Rods work like any weapon, you need to use a rod that's your grade or lower, otherwise it won't work very well at all.

===Fishing Lures=== | === Fishing Lures === | ||
There are 3 colors of lures, and 3 grades of each. Since the High Grade lures catch fish faster, and are more likely to catch better fish, they are the only ones you should spend money on - they are all very very cheap anyway. Don't waste time, buy the good ones. With High Grade bait you will catch about 30% one level lower catch, 60% your level, and 10% one level above. | There are 3 colors of lures, and 3 grades of each.

Like all things, NCsoft has carefully calculated things so higher cost = higher returns, so Purple are the best in the long run. But if you're after a specific kind of fish for a specific material/recipe, you can try and influence the type of fish with the color. | Like all things, NCsoft has carefully calculated things so higher cost = higher returns, so Purple are the best in the long run.

== The Fish and Other Catches == | |||
Fish and chests get stronger as your expertise increases, changing color as they advance. There are some levels of fish that are MUCH stronger then the previous level, which will make them only catchable with fish shots or the next grade of fishing pole, so be aware of this. The very highest fish can only be caught using the S grade fishing rod <em>and</em> fishing shots to catch. | |||
Each 3-level range of fish, has a color and a "Small", normal, and "Big" version of the fish and chest. You will catch one level below your expertise to one level above your expertise. This means you will need 12 inventory slots for fishing - 3 levels x 3 types of fish, plus 3 levels of chests. | Each 3-level range of fish, has a color and a "Small", normal, and "Big" version of the fish and chest.

=== Detailed per-fish info === | |||
That's the general overview, for the (obscenely detailed) details about the fish and what people have had them give in rewards, go to the [[Lineage 2/Fishing/Fish|Exact details about fish]] page. For the most part you should not worry about the details - you will be catching the fish low enough in level that you can easily kill them, and really only interested in gathering as many proofs as possible. | |||

== Rewards - Skinning Your Fish == | |||
Once you have as many fish as you can carry, you double-click them to see what you get. You may fail (about 50% of the time), or you may get materials, common crafting recipes, or "fish guts" that you can trade in to the fishing NPC for proofs. | Once you have as many fish as you can carry, you double-click them to see what you get.

You buy new abilities with your Proof of Catching a Fish. Normally you can train one level of the skill for every 10 levels of your character, plus one.
