Fishing

Catch fish on Map 1 and Map 2, fill the fisherman's collection and earn permanent bonuses.

The fishing rod

• At the Fisherman (option Craft a fishing rod) you make your rod from Rod Blank, Rod Handle, Line Guide, Fishing Line and Fishing Hook, plus 10 million yang.

• The parts drop from the Metin of Vanity (Fox Den), the Metin of Malice (Tigrammi) and the Metin stones in the Valley of the Forgotten Kings.
• You upgrade the rod at the blacksmith like any item, with dead fish and yang: from 10 Dead Zander and 50 mil. (+1 to +2) up to 50 Dead Catfish and 250 mil. (+8 to +9).
• Each rod plus: +1% chance of a rare fish and fewer clicks in the minigame (10 at +1, 6 at +9).

Bait and where to fish

• Buy bait, Paste or Worm, from the Fisherman (Use the store). Right-click it to put it on the hook; every cast uses one bait.

• Fish only bite on Map 1 and Map 2, in all three kingdoms. On other maps the rod catches nothing.
• Map 2 has more species: six rare fish can only be caught there.

Catching a fish

• Equip the rod, face the water and press Space.
• When a fish bites the minigame opens: click the fish while it is inside the ring, as many times as the number on top asks, before the time bar runs out.
• Rare fish need one or two extra clicks.

What to do with your fish

• Right-click a live fish: most of the time you kill it (a dead fish, for the rod upgrade); sometimes you get a bone or a surprise, like a Clam.
• Light a Bonfire and drag the fish onto it to grill it. Grilled fish can be eaten.
• With a little luck you also catch other things: a Gold Ring, hair dyes or Cloak of Secrecy, Lucy's Ring, Sage King's Symbol, Sage King's Glove.

Fish collection

• At the Fisherman, Fishing Collection: see which fish you have caught, your biggest catch and the ranking.
• Every fish has a mission: hand in a few fish of a minimum length. Handed-in fish are used up and sometimes slip away; rare fish slip away more often.
• A finished mission gives a permanent bonus. Examples: Zander - 25 of at least 23 cm: +2 STR. Grass Carp - 20 of at least 28 cm: +3% critical hit. Goldfish - 10 of at least 28 cm: +5% strong against humans.

When the rod breaks

• The hook can break on any catch (1%), the line only on rare fish (5%). A broken rod cannot fish.
• At the Fisherman, Repair the fishing rod: bring a new Fishing Hook or Fishing Line and pay 10 million yang. The rod keeps its plus.
