'''Fisher''' is a type of [[professions|profession]] which specializes in catching [[fish]]. The skill name changes based on the gender of the player character, '''Fisherman''' for men and '''Fisherwoman''' for women.

Players receive a one-time experience bonus for the first catch of each fish added to your 'album'. 

== Starting Out ==
To begin training the profession, purchase a [[Fishing Spear]] from [[Melv's Fishing Supplies]] located off of the east side of the [[Town Square]], south of the Guard HQ. Then, head back to [[East Beach]] where you gathered the Brown Kelp for the Tutorial Quest, and you will find Level 0 [[Mottled Flounder (skill node)|Mottled Flounders]] to begin your Fishing. 

==Fish Uses==
All fish may be sold to the [[fishmonger]], but many species are also used in the [[Chef]] profession. These can be stored in the Ingredients Bank in the [[The Delectable Dab Kitchen]] at the back of [[The Delectable Dab Restaurant]] on the west side of [[Stone Street]]. 

==Fishing Unlocks and Uses==
Note: XP/Gather is actually calculated as a percentage increase of the previous level, and as such is fractional. After a game update which allowed fractional XP to count towards your total XP, you may see a -1 XP discrepancy from the values listed below.

===Active activities===
Fisher activities are all skill nodes that give Fish and XP. This all the the fish nodes are depleted before their respawn timers, and every time the inventory is full the fish are banked at a [[Storage Rift]] or sold to [[The Frequently Fresh Fish Stall]]. Profit values do not take into account the time required to sell fish if they were banked. XP values when discarding fish, and hence giving no items or profit, are in the final column.

Your own XP and profit rates are highly dependent on efficient movement, and so may vary from these values.

===[[File:Passive small icon.png|frameless|width=25x25]] Passive activities===
Fisher passive activities are use bait to collect fish. Passive fishing uses the [[Fishing Rod]] and crates, and gathers 0.005 fish every 20 seconds. This table assumes that all bait is purchased from the [[Fishing Supplies]] shop and all fish is sold to [[The Frequently Fresh Fish Stall]].

Your own profit rates may vary if you [[Forager|forage]] your own bait or keep the fish for cooking.

''Passive activities give reduced experience when a players level is high enough to perform a new passive activity for that profession. The numbers shown here are the full experience.''
