Fishing in shallow and deep water

Cast a line#

Use a fishing pole and target valid water within 4 tiles. Fishing while mounted is refused. Successful harvesting reveals a hidden fisher.

Fishing uses 8×8 resource banks with 5–15 catches and a 10–20 minute replenishment range. Depleted water can recover over time; different nearby spots can share the same bank.

Special catches#

Special fishing nets and big fish have an 80.0 base-skill requirement; treasure maps require 90.0 and message bottles 100.0. These special rolls require deep water. Skill requirements do not guarantee a catch.

Caught treasure maps, message bottles and special nets are placed on a surfaced sea serpent rather than directly into your backpack. Be prepared for a fight. Big fish and heavy chests can be delivered at your feet.

Fishing treasure-map catches normally create level 1 maps for Felucca or Trammel matching the source facet logic. Dynamic water access and boats are not verified by this source audit.
