Fishing (minigame)

Fishing is a minigame in Aurelia. To fish you need to buy a fishing rod from Janet for 250G and you need bait.

This minigame is necessary to advance Ginny's quest, which requires you to get some algae, and it provides ingredients to brew potions in the Alchemy minigame.

How to Play
You can play the fishing minigame at the Lake during mornings and afternoons. This game does not advance time to play.

To fish, click the water, select the bait and wait. When you see a red exclamation mark appear above the player's head, left click to start the game. Not clicking for long enough when the exclamation mark appears causes you to lose the fish. However it still counts towards getting the fishing achievements

The fish will be at the bottom of the screen, and our job is to keep the fish inside of the box while the fish is trying to stay outside. We can use our mouse to move the box left and right. We catch the fish when the blue bar at the bottom fills to full. If the fish stays outside of the box long enough, the blue bar will drain down. When the bar is empty we lose the fish.

The fish you get is random.

Bait

 * Worms - we can collect this from the Lake every day during morning or afternoon by clicking on the worms near the bird
 * Brightbug - we can collect this from Melkor's Tomb if we bring empty Bottles. The Brightbugs look like glowing yellow beads on the left side of the tomb chamber. Each bottle stores 1 Brightbug. Bottles can be bought for 40G each from Janet the halfling in the Village.

Worm as bait

 * Sturgeon - This is the best fish you can catch because it's the best sub-ingredient for potion making. Sells for 70G. Gives good experience when caught


 * Bass - Second best fish you can catch. Sells for 35G. Gives a small amount of experience when caught


 * Carp - Worst fish you can catch. Sells for 10G. Gives a small amount of experience when caught
 * Algae - Click when you see "!", then intentionally lose the fish by keeping it outside of the box
 * Wet Boot - Click when you see "!", then intentionally lose the fish by keeping it outside of the box

Brightbug as bait

 * Frog - This is arguable the best "fish" you can catch because it's the only way to craft Lily's concoction. Otherwise it's the equivalent to Bass and Piranha in potion making. Sells for 100G. Gives moderate experience when caught
 * Sturgeon - This is arguable the second best fish you can catch because it's the best sub-ingredient for potion making. Sells for 70G. Gives good experience when caught.
 * Piranha - Not a bad fish to catch, it's the equivalent to Bass and Frog in potion making. Sells for 50G. Gives a small amount of experience when caught
