Fishing

Fishing is a resource minigame in Pixadom.
Currently, the minigame is only offered in Coral Cove, and the purchase of a Fishing Rod is required in order to participate. This is explained further below.
==How To Fish==
=== Equipment ===
You'll need a fishing rod to be able to catch fish.
The most basic rod has no prerequisites, however all other rods require you to accept the Master Angler quest line, and complete the Quest/Badge Level that matches the Fishing Rod Level.
See the equipments below (you need to go into your Inventory and equip the rod to use it).
Name 	Appearance	Cost	Required Badge
Fishing Rod (Level 1)	 	25 	None
Fishing Rod (Level 2)	 	50 	
Fishing Rod (Level 3)	 	100 	
Fishing Rod (Level 4)	 	200 	
Fishing Rod (Level 5)	 	300

==Catches==
===Trash===
There's a 25% chance that your catch collects a 'trash' item (applies to all fishing rods). Despite the name, collecting 'trash' is still useful as they can be exchanged for furniture and clothing items at Marlin's Shop.
The chance to get a specific trash item is equal among the items. For example, if you were specifically after a Hat, it's a 2.5% chance to get it.
 	 	 	 	
Boot 	Bottle	Can 	Hat 	Newspaper
 	 	 	 	
Plank	Rope 	Seaweed	Sunglasses	Tire
===Regular Fish===
There's a 75% chance your catch collects a fish. After that, the die is rolled again to determine which fish, with each fish having a different catch rate. For example, with a Level 1 Fishing Rod, if you catch a fish, there's a 30% chance the catch is a Plaintail. 
There's 25 regular fish that can be caught, but only 5 can be caught at a time depending on the equipped rod.
