It can be obtained in several ways (except the barracuda which can only be purchased at the souk of Alexandria):
At the lake:
You can fish in villages where there is a lake. Fishes are obtained in batches of 0 to 2 in a day by those who work there. Details are explained on the "lake" page.
On board of a ship:
You can fish when you are on board of a ship (except the ship captain):
- Go to the "Fishing" tab and validate the action.
- Activity that takes 22 hours, so it is impossible to work or travel elsewhere at the same time.
- The result of fishing is indicated in the events tab at the end of the job.
- Possible both at sea and on a river or when the ship is docked in a port.
- The fishing net is a tool that can improve the quality of fishing done on board of a ship.
Yield:
- 40% chance of having a fish with 0 intelligence
- 52% chance of having a fish with 255 intelligence
- Between 0 and 255, the progression of this probability is linear
- 1% chance of fishing a pair of boots
If a fishing net is used and a fish is caught (not boots) then:
- 70% chance of doubling the catch
- 25% chance of tripling the catch
- 4% chance of quadruple the catch
- 1% chance of quintuple the catch
So the fishing net, on average, multiplies the number of fish caught by 2.36. Which gives us, on average:
- 0.944 fish / day with 0 intelligence
- 1.22 fish / day with 255 intelligence
Additionally, fishing rod and fishing seagull can be equipped to acquire following bonuses:
- Fishing rod: +10% chance
- Fishing Seagull: 25% chance of getting an additional fish while fishing from a ship
