How to fish

Thanks for all the updates I just saw all these replies today.

I finally figured it out the other day after talking to someone in-game. The step that I was missing is to drag the skill to my hotbar. I was able to do that, and get going.

 

Greetings! Just started playing but cannot figure this out yet. I talked to the crafting trainer Marissa and have the Fishing Skill at level 1, Fishing Rod is shown as Equipped.

The problem is, I cannot drag Fishing Level 1 to the Utility Hotbar. It won't allow me to drag it like other skills. Anytime I click it says "You have already learned this innate skill." in the chat box.

Thanks in advance... hope its just something silly I'm overlooking!

 

it was just changed a couple of weeks ago in preparation for new types of bait coming in. drag the actual worms onto your noncombat bar.

 

Fishing update in progress. Drag your worms to your utility bar and fish that way. next release will include more bait types, recipes, new loot, and fish. Right now it's pretty basic still since the update didn't all happen yet.

 

Greetings all. There has been a change to fishing that does not seem obvious unless you have read the R58 notes or turned into the Livestream. In my earlier post above I said to put the glyph in the fishing skills tree in your hot bar. It does not work that way anymore due to the update to fishing and the soon to be many types of bait and lures. Now you must put the bait/lure in your hot bar in order to get the glyph so you can fish. Right now the only thing you can fish with is worms. Soon though there will be many types of bait/lures and 4 types of areas to fish. Now if they would only let me fish while sitting down and drink a beer while doing it.

 

Thank you for all the help. I love this community

 

Wow! Thank you for this!

 

Thank you for posting this, I was wanting to get into fishing

 

@Duke Gréagóir, as the OP of this reborn thread should update his now misleading first post, things changed as was pointed out before and the thread now seems to be slightly misleading.

 

Thank you @Net. I updated my original posting with information in the posting crediting the poster of that comment. If I missed anything please let me know through this thread and I will update my op again.
