'FISHING' Syntax: fish, reel, bait <rod> <fishbait> Adventurers have long sought ways to increase their chances of survival in the harsh lands of Serin. One of the most common and simple ways to acquire food and treasure is the act of fishing in ponds, lakes, rivers and the various seas. To fish, you need to first find a source of fishable water. You may then "fish" to cast off and get started. The first tug will be your cue to begin counting. You must then begin to "reel" as the tick approaches, so that your reel completes *after* the tick has passed. If you are successful, you will catch something. Note that wielding and baiting a fishing rod will improve your chances of reeling by making the reel last longer. There are three categories of fish in Serin. Saltwater fish can be caught in oceans and lagoons. Stream fish can be caught in rivers and rapids. Lake fish can be caught in ponds. These sectors can be displayed in your PROMPT. Things to look out for while fishing: * Random pools of special fish, spawning all over Serin * Dirtir's task, "Catch of the Day". Dirtir also buys fish. (Seringale) * Devorast's shaman elixirs, requiring components * Special fishing-related quests See also help on: TICK, COOKING
