Fishing

**Fishing** is a gathering skill which involves catching raw fish at fishing spots. This skill is a companion of Cooking. It is one of the few non-combat skills that allows you to make something from nothing by collecting fish as a raw resource, similar to Woodcutting  and Mining. Highlevel **Fishing** allows players to catch a large variety of fishwhich can be used in Catanai to restore health in Combat, to provide experience in Cooking , or sell to other players for GP. Everyone needs food to fight with, therefore **Fishing** is a very beneficial and profitable skill to have.

## Introduction to Fishing

**Fishing** is an important skill in Catanai, especially for newcomers. A lot of you may wonder "*Woah, only a 2,000GP starter pack? How am I supposed to start with that?*". Well, the situation isn't really that bad due to this skill. You only need around 1,000GP to start off.

   There are several shops among the Catanai map that sell tools for **Fishing**. In order to start, a player must buy the desired tool required to catch each fish. Afterwards, head to the Fishing Spots and start collecting fish. If you are a new player, you should set up your **Tool Belt** so that you won't need to bank/withdraw tools all the time. Keep in mind though, **Fishing Bait** cannot be added to the **Tool Belt**.

## Fishing Shops

Every player can travel via the Lodestone Network to the three main Fishing Shops.
