Starting out, you'll need to purchase a Fishing Spear from the fishing shop located inside Hopeport in the store of Melv's Fishing Supplies. Melv's Fishing Supplies is located off of the east side of the Town Square, South of the Guard HQ. You'll then head back to the East Beach where you gathered the Brown Kelp for the Tutorial Quest and spear fish 13 Mottled Flounder until you hit level 2. Initially, fish are only useful for selling to the fish monger, but check the information tab on your fish, certain ones are useful for different recipes and can be stored in the Ingredients Bank that lies within the back of The Delectable Dab Restaurant (The Delectable Dab Kitchen) which is just off of Stone Street, just south of the Guard HQ.
Fishing Enhancements
When you can afford it, you can visit the Enchanter in Hopeport to enchant your fishing tools for a permanent experience buff while gathering with a particular tool. The Table below indicates the cost and benefits of doing so for each particular tool.
