'''Fishing''' is a real skill ladder in '''Server Update v5.7'''. Four fish across four waters, a bait climb you can farm or buy, three rods, a pier at [[The Shores]], a '''200 [[Gold]]''' [[Wooden Raft]], cooking burns, and the chase [[Angler Outfit]] that makes every bite '''30% faster'''.

<div class="kin-note"><span class="kin-note-label">Official:</span> [https://kintara.com/news?id=33&kind=update Server Update v5.7 — Fishing, Cooking & the Angler Outfit] (11 August 2026).</div>

== Highlights ==

{| class="wikitable"
! Update
! Details
|-
| Four fish / four waters
| Herring ([[The Pond]]), Trout ([[Whisperwood]]), Bass & Tuna ([[The Shores]]). Level is on the catch, not the zone door.
|-
| Bait ladder
| Trade '''10 fish → 5 next-tier bait''', or buy '''100 bait for 1 Gold'''. Feather Bait from chicken feathers.
|-
| Three rods
| Free Basic (Pond/Whisperwood), '''10 Gold''' Level 2 (most waters), '''15 Gold''' Fire-Resistant (Emberstone lava only).
|-
| Shores dock + raft
| Pier to reach Tuna water; [[Wooden Raft]] (200 Gold) makes ocean walkable — item, not a mount.
|-
| Cooking burns
| Burn chance scales with Cooking (30% at ≤5 → 5% at 40). Never reaches zero.
|-
| [[Angler Outfit]]
| Hat / Vest / Waders via raffle; full set = '''30% faster bites''' everywhere (including lava).
|-
| Rare water drops
| [[Stingray Mount]] and [[Dolphin Mount]] at '''1 in 10,000''' each on Shores casts. Turtle off the Shores pool.
|}

== Four fish, four waters ==

The old generic '''fish''' item is now '''Herring''' — same stacks and listings, new name. [[The Shores]] stays walkable at any level; the fish, bait, and rod gate what you can pull.

== Bait ==

* Climb: at either Fishing NPC, trade '''10 fish for 5 bait''' of the next tier (raw or cooked; raw spent first).
* Bottom rung: chickens drop a '''Feather'''; NPC ties '''1 Feather → 1 Feather Bait''' (chickens no longer drop finished bait).
* Buy: '''1 Gold for 100 bait''' at both counters.
* Cost on '''catch''', not cast — no bite / cancelled cast spends nothing.

== Rods ==

{| class="wikitable"
! Rod
! Price
! Water
|-
| Basic Fishing Rod
| Free — Old Fisher at [[The Pond]]
| Pond + Whisperwood
|-
| Level 2 Fishing Rod
| 10 [[Gold]] — [[The Shores]]
| Everything except lava
|-
| Fire-Resistant Fishing Rod
| 15 [[Gold]] — [[The Shores]]
| [[Emberstone]] lava only
|}

Upgrades keep working in lower waters (Level 2 still fishes the Pond). The fireproof rod is lava-only. Emberstone lava with it yields '''[[Molten Rock]]''' — no bait, no cooking, '''125 XP''' per haul.

== Dock, buoys, and raft ==

* '''Pier''' eleven tiles out on the north side of the buoy line; '''Dockhand Maren''' sells rods, bait, and rafts. Cast range is '''five tiles''' — the dock is needed to reach far Tuna columns.
* '''Buoy line''' west–east: north = Tuna, line + south = Bass (same depth).
* '''[[Wooden Raft]] — 200 Gold:''' 1×1 sail raft. Inventory item (tradeable / bankable / lootable on death). Shores ocean only. Boarding dismounts you; holding a rod and clicking out-of-range water sails you there.

== Moving fish spots ==

Active spots are '''2×2''' water that stay hot '''2–5 minutes''', then move (independent timers).

{| class="wikitable"
! Water
! Live spots
|-
| The Shores — Tuna
| 3
|-
| The Shores — Bass
| 3
|-
| Whisperwood
| 3 (river + each accent pond)
|-
| The Pond
| 2
|-
| Emberstone
| 2 across three lava pits (never share a pit; white rings)
|}

If a spot moves out from under your line, the line is pulled in.

== Cooking burns ==

{| class="wikitable"
! Cooking level
! Burn chance
|-
| 5 and below
| 30.0%
|-
| 10
| 26.4%
|-
| 20
| 19.3%
|-
| 30
| 12.1%
|-
| 40
| 5.0%
|}

~0.7% per level between anchors; never zero. Burnt fish: no HP, no Cooking XP, still stacks/trades. Roast Pit shows your exact chance. Cooked Trout / Bass / Tuna are edible again (10 / 15 / 20 HP).

== Angler Outfit ==

Hand the Angler at [[The Shores]] '''250 Cooked Herring + 250 Cooked Trout + 250 Cooked Bass + 250 Cooked Tuna''' (1,000 cooked fish) for '''10 Angler Raffle Tickets'''.

* Each ticket: '''1 in 2,500''' for one random piece (Hat / Vest / Waders).
* No duplicate protection; all pieces tradeable.
* Wear any piece at '''Fishing 30'''.
* Full set: '''every bite 30% faster''' — all waters, including lava.

== Rare Shores drops ==

{| class="wikitable"
! Drop
! Odds
|-
| [[Stingray Mount]]
| 1 in 10,000 (any Shores cast)
|-
| [[Dolphin Mount]]
| 1 in 10,000 (independent roll)
|-
| 2–10 [[Gold]]
| 1 in 10,000
|}

[[Turtle Mount]] is '''off''' the Shores fishing pool.

== Other changes ==

* [[Magma Brute]] respawn raised to '''2 minutes''' (was 45s) so Emberstone fishing is workable.
* Rod / raft vanish bug fixed (tool allowlists unified).
* New fish, bait, burnt fish, feathers, tickets, rods, and raft are marketplace-tradeable.
* Scrolls: “Deliver Cooked Fish” accepts any cooked species; Hard Scrolls from Venomweaver credit Venomweaver correctly.
* Guild ranks: Recruit → Sergeant → General → Owner (bank still testing).
* Worn gear trades again; Examine shows durability have/max %.
* Fishing / cooking UI rebuilt mobile-friendly; crisp icons; Angler pieces animate; fish swim in active spots.

== How to try it ==

# Free rod from the Old Fisher at [[The Pond]]; feathers from Whisperwood chickens → Feather Bait.
# Climb: 10 Herring → 5 Trout Bait at either Fishing NPC.
# Walk the new dock north of the buoys; Maren sells the 10 Gold Level 2 rod.
# Buy a raft (200 Gold) and sail to Tuna water.
# Cook at a Roast Pit — the window shows your burn chance.
