Fishing in Windrose is one of the easiest and most useful activities once you unlock it. It gives you a steady supply of food, which helps a lot with survival and combat. While you can’t start fishing right away, it becomes very valuable as you progress into the mid-game. The process itself is simple and doesn’t take much time to learn. In this guide, we will tell you how to unlock fishing and how it works.
How to Fish
Fishing is quite easy. Just throw the line into the water and wait until there is an appropriate splash. Then, once you observe it, reel in the rod. Once you get the timing down, it becomes very easy. Fishing is possible in both shallow and deep waters. Although different fish are meant to be found at particular water levels, currently, you can catch the “shallow” fish even at greater depths.
The total number of fish to catch is 10. The fish themselves don’t give any special bonuses, but once you make fish fillets from them, they become an important ingredient in cooking. After catching all 10 fish, you will earn a specific ring, which will give you 15% more chances to catch additional fish.
