A preview of a player fishing.
Fisher is a type of 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 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 table assumes it takes 5 seconds to travel between trees, 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.

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 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.
