== Welcome == | |||
Welcome to the Lineage II 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 also get Colored Fish Scales which are used to trade to recipes from the fisherman guild member. This is only done at night-time fishing. [ Edit: -Ecsed ] | |||
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.... | |||
=== Night-Time Fishing === | |||
Night Time Fishing can be done at night (Obviously) and can only be done with Luminous Lures or NightTime Winning Fish Lures. The fish are caught and have the tag "- Upper grade" at the end of them. These fish are special in the fact that they have the ability of giving Colored Fish Scales which can in turn be traded for Recipes by the | |||
fisherman guild member. | |||

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.

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.

Fish and chests get stronger as your expertise increases, changing color as they advance.

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.
