Fishing

Fishing is the core of the game. As a result, there are many custom features that have been added in relation to fishing.

The blue bar below represents how the fish is fighting. Higher rarity fish will pull harder, thus making them more difficult to catch. If this bar reaches the end on either side, the line will snap and the fish will be lost. This bar is unaffected by the size of the fish.

The green bar above represents how close you are to catching the fish. Think of this bar like the health meter of the fish. Once you get this bar to 100%, the fish is caught. The weight of a fish directly affects how much progress is needed to reel. This bar is affected by natures and Fishing Stats, namely reel speed and line strength.

Fish natures affect the behavior of the minigame, with some making it easier or more difficult.

Nature	Effect
Calm	Slightly easier
Docile	Fairly easier
Relaxed	Much easier
Sassy	Slightly harder
Brave	Fairly harder
Hardy	Much harder
Hasty	Rapid line, less frequent
Impish	Slow line, more frequent
Jolly	Stays closer to middle
Lonely	Stays away from middle
Quirky	Slower progress
Timid	Faster progress

Base chances for fish rarities, these can be increased with higher Luck.

Fish have different sizes that affect their sell price and XP. You can increase the chance for bigger fish with Scale. When the size tier of a fish is generated, it will then generate a length from within that tier's range for the specific fish. The weight is then determined from the neighborhood of that length. After this, any size bonuses from lures, armor rolls, or location rolls are added together and multiply the generated weight and length.
These are the base odds for each size tier:

Size	Odds	Size Range
Baby	20%	0.20x - 0.25x
Juvenile	40%	0.25x - 0.35x
Adult	30%	0.35x - 0.55x
Large	9.98%	0.65x - 0.80x
Gigantic	0.02%	0.95x - 1.05x

Size Range is based off of the “maximum” length value of the fish.
