How to get	Fishing at The Shores, north of the buoys (Fishing level 20, Tuna Bait)

Tuna is the fourth of Kintara's five fish, caught at The Shores north of the buoy line. The top tier is Swordfish (Fishing 28, caught with Squid Bait in the Deep — the raft-only water at The Shores). Cooking Tuna converts it to Cooked Tuna, which heals 20 HP — or, on a failed cook, to Burnt Tuna, which is junk. Cooked Tuna does nothing in The Dunes: the heat blocks every cooked fish there, and cacti is the only food that heals in the sand.

Rod	Level 2 Fishing Rod — required to fish The Shores at all
Catch XP	140

The buoy line running west-east across the ocean is a marker, not a depth change — Tuna and Bass share the same water, split by which side of the line you're fishing. Casts only reach 5 tiles, so the far Tuna water is out of reach from the sand alone — you need Dockhand Maren's dock or a Wooden Raft to reach it. The Shores has 3 live spots for Tuna. The Shores is closed to free accounts (those holding under 1,000 $KINS).

Cooking Tuna requires Cooking level 20. Cooking any fish is a roll against your Cooking level — the burn chance starts at 30% (level 5 and below) and slides down toward, but never reaches, 0% (5% at level 40). The Roast Pit shows your exact current burn chance.

Uses

• Tuna can be traded up for Squid Bait (10 Tuna, raw or cooked, for 5 Squid Bait — the bait for Swordfish) at Old Fisher or Dockhand Maren.
• Cooked Tuna counts toward the Angler Outfit raffle at The Angler — one exchange takes 150 of each cooked species (Herring, Trout, Bass, Tuna, Swordfish) and grants 10 raffle tickets. The outfit itself needs Fishing 30 to wear; the exchange has no level requirement.
