The following are all the styles of fishing:

Bog Fishing
Current Fishing (River and Stream)
Ice Fishing
Net Fishing
Ocean Fishing (Deep Sea)
Ocean Fishing (Shoreline)
Pond and Lake Fishing
Spear Fishing

Keep a list of the different types of fishing (listed above). Each time you successfully fish your skill will increase.

 

Fishing Training and Starting out:
The Fisherman is adept at catching fish in any environment and in many ways.
Only one who has studied and passed the test of Fishing can consistently, and successfully, progress in Fishing.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Modification-point cost: 9 (this has already been purchased -- 9 modification-points will be all that is required.

 

Training Time: 9 weeks (63 days).

Training note: This is an averaged time to complete the full training course for each style of fishing. One week will be spent to teach each style of fishing. Training time can vary according to the student's Awareness.

 

For every point of Awareness above 30, the training time will be reduced by one day (minimum 4
days to train in EACH fishing style).

 

For every point of Awareness below 20, the training time will be increased by one day in EACH
fishing style.

 

Training Cost: 8 white-gold per day of training + the cost of fishing equipment.

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your Awareness will be the % chance to successfully catch a fish. Example: If you have a 30 Awareness, you will have a starting 30% chance to succeed at catching a fish.
For each successful fish caught, the % chance to succeed again will increase by +1.

 

Example: If you have a 30 Awareness, and successfully catch a fish, you will gain +1 added to your current 30% chance the next time you attempt to catch a fish (you would have a 31% chance). If you catch a fish successfully, your skill in catching another fish, using that same style of fishing would increase from 31% chance to 32%.

 

Maximum success chance: 80% Remember to keep a record of all the different styles of fishing.
