Fishing

## Introduction

A favored pastime for many Teldarians, fishing provides both a source of steady income and an opportunity to stand out as a master angler. Don't waste time crafting vanilla rods; only custom Teldarian rods are suitable for fishing. Getting started is as simple as finding or trading for one of these rods and casting your bobber into the water!

The Teldarian fishing experience includes, but is not limited to:

* 140+ unique fish species
* Entropy
* Fishing Skills
* Fishing Tournaments
* Fish Deliveries
* Fishing Crates
* Fishing Rod Augments
* Totem
* Fish Bag
* Selling, Scaling, and Gutting
* Boosters/Lures
* Random Fishing Loot
* Bait
* Party Fishing Bonus

## The Basics

### The Fisherman

Until you level up your job, The Fisherman at /warp Fishing or /warp market will be your primary way of interacting with the fish menu and various features of fishing. Since water and Fishing Crates are nearby at /warp Fishing, it is recommended to start here; while you are at it, make sure you join the Fisherman job so you can earn money and unlock commands with /jobs join Fisherman.

### Custom Fishing Rods

Teldaria fishing rods range from Regular to Fatal tier. Higher tiers offer more enchantments, and therefore more success when fishing. It is recommended to kill custom mobs or purchase a Fatal fishing rod as soon as possible to benefit long term fishing.

#### Fatal Fishing Rod Enchantments

* **Lure 3** - Fishing speed is tied to Lure, so it is desirable to make sure your rod has Lure 3.
* **Luck of the Sea** - This one is just for show. Since Teldaria has custom fish, it also has custom fishing loot drops and as such has disabled the vanilla item drops from fishing. This
* **Unbreaking 6** - Just like higher tier weapons and armor, the custom fishing rods far outlast their vanilla counterpart's durability.
* **Looting 4** - Looting directly affects the drop rate of items from crabs. What better tool to dispatch them than your fishing rod?

### tFishing vs Fisherman Job Experience

There are two types of fishing experience that can be gained while fishing. The primary experience provided by fishing is related to tFishing and is affected by Totem, Augments, and the Party Fishing Bonus. The faster you level tFishing, the more skill points you will have to upgrade skills. The second type of experience gained is for every fish caught and levels up the Fisherman Job. The Fisherman Job is a source of income when every fish is caught, as well as unlocking a handful of QoL fishing commands.
