Fishing

**Fishing** is a skill which involves catching fish from selected spots around Alora. Higher Fishing levels enable different mechanisms of Fishing, the ability to catch a larger selection of fish and increases a player's catch rate. Raw fish may be cooked through the Cooking skill to create food which may then be used later to ether regain hitpoints during combat or to sell to players. Much of Alora's fishing content can be found at the Fishing Guild, accessed by using the ::fish command in-game.

## Equipment

Players need the right kind of equipment to catch the fish they want. Fishing equipment can be purchased from the Gerrant NPC who sells fishing supplies and equipment. Gerrant can be found inside the General store north of home, or you can use the ::shops command to teleport there. In addition, players may also purchase Fishing supplies from the Roachey NPC at the Fishing Guild. Both NPCs offer the same items in their respective shops.

If you're an Iron Man, you can purchase these from the Paul NPC who sells supplies and equipment strictly for the Iron Man community in addition to the Gerrant and Roachey NPCs. Paul can be found south of the General store. The dragon harpoon is a rare drop that can be obtained from the Chambers of Xeric or players. In order to create an infernal harpoon you must attach a smouldering stone to a dragon harpoon.
