Fish

This is a summary table of all fish discovered in A Tale in the Desert 9. Fish are a Resource that can be obtained via the Fly Fishing skill and are used in Cooking.

In order to catch fish, you need to have learned the Fly Fishing skill at a School of Body. When you purchase the skill, the scientists will give you a Basic Fly Rod.

Fly Tying must be learned from a School of Worship to create Lures. Before fishing the first time, you must click yourself, Skills, Fishing, Use Lure, and select a lure from your inventory, which can be one you tied yourself or acquired from another player.
Each cast will use the same lure type. If your last lure of that kind is lost, you must use the same process to choose a different lure from your inventory before you can continue fishing.

All freshly caught fish will go under the Whole Fish category in your inventory, labeled "<Fish type> (weigth in db)", for instance "Abju (11db)". They all weight 1db and take 20 bulk in your inventory.
