albion online fishing

Fishing in Albion Online is a relaxing and profitable gathering activity that allows players to catch fish, which can be used for cooking or sold for silver. Heres a detailed guide to help you get started: Getting Started with Fishing Unlock Fishing: - Visit a Fisherman NPC in any major city (e.g., Lymhurst, Bridgewatch, Martlock, Fort Sterling, Thetford). - Purchase a Journeymans Fishing Rod (Tier 3) and equip it. - You can also craft or buy higher-tier rods later. Finding Fishing Spots: - Look for rippling water (shimmering spots) in rivers, lakes, or coastal areas. - Open-water fishing (blue zones) is safest, but higher-tier fish are found in dangerous zones (red/black). How to Fish Equip your fishing rod. Approach a fishing spot (rippling water). Cast your line by pressing the fishing ability (default: right-click the fishing spot). Wait for a bite a sound cue and visual indicator will appear. Click the bobber quickly to reel in the fish before it escapes. Collect your fish (or sometimes junk items). Fish Tiers & Locations Higher-tier zones (e.g., T5+ zones) yield better fish. Saltwater (coastal) vs. Freshwater (rivers/lakes) some fish are exclusive to one type. Rare fish (e.g., Shark, Swordfish) are found in dangerous waters. Increasing Fishing Efficiency Higher-tier rods (e.g., Adepts, Experts) increase catch rate and reduce escape chance. Fishing gear (e.g., Fishermans Armor) boosts fishing speed and yield. Fame & Specialization Level up your fishing skill to catch fish faster and unlock rare fish. Pork Pies/Fish Sauces (food buffs) can improve gathering yield. Using Fish Cooking: Turn fish into fish fillets (raw) or cooked dishes (e.g., Fish Sandwiches). Feeding Islands: Some fish are used to feed animals on player islands. Selling: Raw fish and fillets sell well on the market. Advanced Fishing Tips Auto-Fishing (AFK Fishing): - Use Journeymans Fishing Rod or higher to auto-fish (no need to click the bobber). - Best done in safe zones (blue/yellow). Fishing in Black Zones: - Higher profit but riskier due to PvP. - Use an Ox or armored horse for escape. Guild Islands: Some guilds have private fishing spots. Fishing Fame & Mastery Fame Credits: Use Learning Points to speed up progression. Destiny Board: Unlock higher-tier fishing nodes for better efficiency. Profitability Rare fish (T6+) sell for high silver. Fishing in groups (with friends/guild) can be safer and more efficient. Would you like recommendations on the best fishing zones for your tier?
