fishing

[Ortisai]

where is the best spot in san d'oria to fish?

and also is it normal for a amature fisher to not catch anything for an hour?

[Eriwilde]

If you're a beginner, fish in San d'Oria for seawater fish.
You can also fish at the pond in West Ronfaure.

You have to take care when you're choosing baits.
Fishing in the game is as realistic as real fishing.

If you fish sea fish, use littleworms.
If you fish fresh-water fish, use lugworms.

You can use cheapest fishing rods such as Yew Rods or Willow Rod, but you had better use better rods if you don't want to break your rods too often.

Good luck!

And also if you hear about Sabaki Rig & Fastwater only catching small fish thats not true, you can catch big fish (and consequently break the rod) if you fish in bastok ports (east side near the drawbridge).
