Funky Fishing

## Overview

There are new types of fishing holes available on Funky Island . Just like regular fishing holes they require the play to have a fishing rod of any type in their hands as well have spoken to the Tackle Master and paid them a C note for their daily fishing license.

They are generally much more lucrative than a regular fishing hole, but come with an air of danger as they usually have a chance to spawn an aggressive monster as you fish from them. This will require you pay attention to your fisherman or buy one of the various Combat Fishing Rods from the fishing vendors at the Fishing Guild. Fishing from funky fishing holes will net you items such as trade notes, alternate currencies, themed junk, experience items, and rare fish. Most fishing holes also have chances to catch tickets to the fishing guild and Portfish, which are used in the creation of the Fish Gem.

Rare fish can be turned in to the Funky Fish Monger for experience and monies. Fish mongers are commonly found at Fisher’s Peak and the Fishing Guild.

**Important: Funky fishing holes of any variation do not award skill in any way! If you wish to raise your fishing skill you must seek out a vanilla fishing hole and fish from there. Handing in fish to a funky fishing hole will not reward skill either.**

Rare Fish can only be caught when a player’s fishing skill is high enough which is generally around 300+. Different rare fish can be caught from each type of fishing hole and have varying effects when eaten as well as varying rewards upon turn in.

The Fishing Guild is a small island in The Wilderness area of funky island with many resources and accommodations for fishermen such as Funky Fish Mongers, exquisite chests, and Tackle Masters. It can be reached either by running to it from the Wilderness Village, giving a ticket to the fishing guild to a funky ferryman , or attaining and using a fish gem(infinite use recall gem). There are a large amount of fishing holes and a large variation of them at the fishing Guild, making the fishing guild a great, if not somewhat dangerous, place to fish.

## Why is the fishing skill important?

Fishing Skill decides which tiers of loot from the fishing hole you have access to. When it comes to retail fishing, at level 0 fishing skill you can only catch junk, minnows, and rarely a guppy. As your skill raises you will be able to catch mollies, fish, and then large fish. Funky fishing works in a similar way, where if you have low skill you will only have access to the lowest tiers available to that fishing hole. At level 300 fishing skill you will have access to all tiers of loot from the fishing hole. As your skills raise higher past 300 , you will pull the more rare loot more often. Fishing skill maxes out at 700.

## Funky Fishing Tokens

Funky Fishing Tokens can be found rarely in any variation of a funky fishing hole except for the calm fishing hole. They can also be found on certain mobs in the wilderness. They are used to purchase items from the Master Baiter at the fishing guild.
