So, want to know how many fishes are there? Well, here are all the fishes
waiting for you to catch them. If they escape, sucks for you since there's one
more fish itching to be caught. Fishes are classified in two categories and
have levels. Fishes are either under Use or ETC. Fish levels range from 1 to 5,
5 being the lowest and 1 the highest. All the fishes are categorized in the
right levels and under the right category.

=Where to Farm=
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, there's only one place to go to fish. That's the fishing farm, and to
think that they could've come up with a better name. However, there are four
fishing maps that are currently available. That's pretty much it for this part
of the guide. lol
=FAQ=
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Q: IS there a difference between baits?
A: No, not really. You can catch the same fishes and whatnot. But the only
thing different is how much a fish escapes from being caught. Anchovies give
the best chance of catching a fish and not letting it escape.
2. Q: Is fishing profitable?
A: Of course, otherwise I wouldn't be making a guide for it.
3. Q: On average, how much profit do you usually get?
A: Well, for me, I buy a Rod and 30 Anchovies which costs me 3,400 golds. After
using up all the baits and breaking my rod (lol innuendo), I sell everything to
the NPC and make a profit of about 10k on normal runs, 7k on bad runs and up to
20k on level 1 runs.
4. Q: Will you buy me what I need?
A: No.
5. Q: Will you fish for me?
A: No
6. Q: When's the best time to fish?
A: When you're low on money, or going AFK for 30 or so minutes. Fishing is
automatic and your character keeps recasting until all the baits are used up or
until your rod is broken (lol).
7: Q: What do I do with the fish?.
A: As of right now, you just sell them to the NPC. But some say that you need
certain fishes for a quest. You can also cook them for dishes that do things...
8. Q: Fishing is boring!
A: That's why it's best to fish when you're going AFK or doing something else.
9. Q: Will you update your guide?
A: Yeah, as long as more things come out for fishing, I will update it to be as
accurate as I can.
10. Q: You've helped me so much, how do I repay you?
A: There are several ways. If I tell you, I might get the B7hammer. lol kidding
