Changed from Classic
A Find Fish tracking feature and a Bait and Tackle window were added.
New in Forever
No major additions reported beyond the recipe re-tune.
Should you take it?
You want a low-effort gold skill and a reason to sit at camp.
Tip: Fishing is the classic "background" skill — do it at a campfire while waiting for queues.
Pairs well with
Cooking. Taking a gathering skill with the crafting skill it feeds keeps you self-sufficient and cheaper to level.
Camp objects
At a campsite, Fishing contributes:
- Fish Bowl
- Fishing Rack
- Fishing Hut
A camp holds one feature per trade, features share a cooldown, and camp buffs need you to stop and sit. See the Camping system.
