How to fish
- Take the Fishing Rod in hand (Sister Maren packs one in your kit; Brakka the Smith also sells them).
- Go to the water: the pier on Mirror Lake is the best spot.
- Cast, and watch the float. A fish bites after 5 to 13 seconds at Fishing level 1; every level makes it 4% faster.
- When the float dips, pull. You have 1.3 seconds.
What bites
| Water | Catch | Fish level | When | Share |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lake | Sunscale Perch | 1 | any time | about 45% |
| Lake | Mudfin Carp | 3 | any time | about 25% |
| Lake | Silverbrook Trout | 5 | any time | about 14% |
| Lake | Glowgill Eel | 7 | night only | about 8% |
| Lake | Moonlit Koi | 9 | night only | about 2% |
| Lake | Soggy Old Boot | 1 | any time | about 5% |
| River | Silverbrook Trout | 4 | any time | about 50% |
| River | Sunscale Perch | 1 | any time | about 33% |
| River | Glowgill Eel | 7 | night only | about 11% |
| River | Soggy Old Boot | 1 | any time | about 6% |
A fish above your Fishing level is harder to hook. The rare ones only rise at night: the Vale has a day and night cycle.
Cooking
Cook at a campfire, like Old Pell's by the shore:
| Dish | Ingredients | Cooking level |
|---|---|---|
| Grilled Perch | 1× Sunscale Perch | 1 |
| Smoked Trout | 1× Silverbrook Trout, 1× Healroot | 3 |
| Glowgill Stew | 1× Glowgill Eel, 2× Wild Berry, 1× Healroot | 5 |
Old Pell has three quests for anglers: Patience and Perch, Supper by the Water and What Glows Beneath.
