Fishing is one of the activities that can be done in-game. Fishing allows a player to obtain fish and items - ranging from trash to Rare equips depending on fishing mastery level.

Fishing Mastery
Fishing Mastery determines what kind of fish and items a player can obtain as well as which fish a player can gain mastery from. The Fishing Mastery levels are as follows:

In order to get from Beginner I to Master, players will need to accumulate 1,000 Mastery Points.

Gaining Mastery Points
Mastery Points can be gained by either:


 * Catching a new fish not yet caught before. The number of mastery points varies depending on the Rank of the fish.
 * Normal: 2 Points
 * Rare: 4 Points
 * Exceptional: 6 Points
 * Epic: 8 Points
 * Fishing in areas that are the same mastery level as your character's mastery level.
 * Each mastery level, the amount of fish required to get points goes up by 2, starting at 1 fish at Beginner 1, and going to 3 fish at Beginner 2, 5 at Beginner 3, and so on. There is a seperate tally for each rank of fish, and after catching the proper amount you will receive half the points you would for a first time catch.
 * Catching a prize fish will reward the same amount of mastery as you would get for a first time catch.
 * You may increase your chances from 1-5% of catching a prize fish by fishing in a party of the same channel in the same map.

The following table sums up how many points a player can get from catching new fish, grouped by mastery level.

This means once a player catches at least one of each fish, they will need to fish for 408 more Mastery Points to reach Master Mastery.
