Whithorn Fishing Tutorial

How to Fish in Whithorn
By Xenina Ramsay

1) It used to be the best paying gig in town. You will get a % for each try, so you may not get a fish on the first day. For example, if you click on one spot today and get 80%, that amount will be saved in your account. The next day that you fish, you will only have to get 20% in order to get 100% and receive a fish. Voila! So, the only day that you would not get a fish is the very first day, but believe me, fishing does pay off.

2) The fishing map: Take a look at this page every day and look for a post that was made after reset: http://fishing.melyadon.info/?village=whithorn
Look for a post by anyone that fished in Y=0 or Y=1. You can most likely only fish in the bottom row (Y=0), if you don't have a lot of strength yet.

3) Once you have selected a box, "Fishing" will be your day's activity! So be careful, there is no coming back possible!

4) The more strength you have (meat you've eaten), the further out you can fish from the shore - out to row 6 if you have no boat. The more intelligence (fish) you have the more chances you get to fish.

1 SP => 1 line (So, you need 2 strength points to fish in row 2).
IP => Intelligence Point (More chances to get a high yield. 5 points is good.)

• 0-4 IP => 2 boxes
• 5-9 IP => 3 boxes
• 10-14 IP => 4 boxes
• 15-19 IP => 5 boxes

5) You can see the positions (X, Y) in your web-browser's status bar by moving your mouse over the box. At the end of the day, you fish on the last box on which you clicked (even if you have some move's points left). In this image you see x=7 & y=5 (8th box over and 6 rows up):

6) Fishing map: use the fishing map to see what else has been found that day, then choose the most productive box for your last turn. (The fishing page tells you how many tries you have left, i.e. 4/5 means you have one try left.)

7) After reset, you will get your fish (1-2 fish). Yes, some days you can get two or even three. Sell any fish for what the TOWN HALL MESSAGE SAYS. Sell it the very next day. Don't build up a collection please. Just list them when you get them and the mayor will buy them when he/she gets a chance.

8) So, if you can fish out to row 5, what is the max yield you can get? The answer is 99%. This chart will give you all max yields:

y/(Y-Axis/Strength)	Min-Yield (%)	Max-Yield (%)
0	69	80
1	72	88
2	74	89
3	76	93
4	77	96
5	78	99
6	79	101
	THIS IS THE BOAT LINE
7	80	104
8	81	107
9	81	109
10	82	112
11	82	114
12	82	116
13	83	119
14	83	121
15	83	123
16	84	126
17	84	128
18	84	130
19	85	132

9) You must own a boat to fish beyond y=6 (row 7). Yield max is 132% at the 20th row (y=19). Boats are around 110 pounds in Whithorn. You cannot sell the boat once it is placed in your home (just like clothes). Remember you still need a lot of strength and intelligence to fish out away from shore, so don't buy a boat until it's worth your investment.
