fishing (how does it work??)

ok: i have a rod in my right hand, lures in my left, i go into the water and use the skill fishing but nothing happens.

How does it work?? Do i have to see a fish and target it before?

Pls explain a very noob fisherwoman :P

here is a excellent guide ;)
its very simple, if the fish hp dont move...use pull if, use reeling :)

tHX SO MUCH FOR THE LINK!!!
but ... i quote "Then you use the 'Fishing' Skill and your character will start to fish. "
Well, this is exactly the problem: i use the fiushing skill, having all the skills and the equipment required, but nothing happens!
What do i do wrong? *cry*

np for the link =)
u have to equip urself with the Rod and the Lures
than go to a lake or somthing and use the skill fishing :)
that's it ;)

You have to be fishing in water that would give you the breath bar.... You just cann't drop your line into any puddle of water...

Also can you list what fishing skills you took?

but that's what i did :(
I receive a message that says "fishing skill is used in unsuitable terms" or something, but i have it all: rod, lures, and skills, and obviously i am near water. So what's wrong?

I am afraid i will never learn :(

ok i took the following skills:
fishing level 1
reeling level 6
pumping level 6
and fishing expertise level 5

i went inside a river thet i had water over my head, and could see the breath bar

^^ nothing to do ^^

Just what level are you by the way?

i am 29 level, and i am trying to fish with a beginners rod, no grade. maybe this is the problem?

I don't know....

If i was with you and i could fish in a spot then i would know, that it's a good spot...

Just off hand, where are you trying to fish?

i was trying to fish in a river near Gludio, dunno, the first place with water i found.
lol i think i am the only one who is not able to fish

First Equip your rod, then equip the shot, eg click on it, it should apper on the 'shield' slot, working just like arrows do except this dosnt auto equip.

Found some water where the breath meter excist, walk up then face the water, then use the Fish skill lv 1 it should work, the rest is in my guide.

Are you facing the water? It helps to face the water.

woow it worked now!! i just changed spot, maybe the previuos one was bad lol
anyway, i cannot catch anything, fish always escapes ehehehe

but thx so much everybody

We got you fishing, now to catch something. In that window that shows the bobber you have to click on the icon it's showing....

But just because you casted your line in doesn't mean you will get a fish. Make sure to read up that Fishing 101 post.

And you may have to get a better rod.... Being your level 29 the rod you have may not do enough damage.

Start with the noob bait (cheapest) because it gives a tutorial on fishing. Big hint is watch the movement of the fish bar and not the graphics. Good luck. One of my big plans was to fish a lot but the xp is so mad crazy it may be awhile before I start to fish.

Question about the rods... is it tied to the character's lvl with regards as to what you can use? So, for example, can a lvl 20 only use D grade and a lvl 40 use C grade etc?

Or is it just a designation for quality?

I view rod grade just like weapon grades... If you equip your level 20 D grade character with a non grade pole you aren't going to do the needed damage on the fish.

ok thx

actualy, it doesent mather what rod you and what lvl you are. you can be lvl 65 and still use your NG rod, IF you expertise lvl is low. if you have a expertise lvl of 5 I would say that its time to get a D-grade rod, or use Nograde SS when you fishing. and btw, keep your reeling and pumpin 2 lvls abow the expertise for max efficiency.
