Fishing

Hold a fishing rod and click the water. Every spot holds two fish: the second is better, needs a higher level, and turns up about a third of the time once you can catch it. A spot runs dry after 60 to 140 catches and is back within a minute.

Read the Fishing guide — how to actually get going with it, and what to watch out for.
