Fishing
Cast out your nets and lines in search of the countless species living under the surface of the waters of Arenum.

The Fishing skill is straightforward - you catch different species of fish. Fish can be cooked with the Cooking skill to turn them into consumables. With higher fishing levels, you will have access to more fish, better fishing tools, and special skilling equipment that can boost your fishing efficiency. You can also receive Fishing Chests as a rare drop from training this skill.
Activities
The following activities can be done indefinitely without needing materials. Some have equipment requirements or other requirements that need to be satisfied in order to start the activity.
For activities involving two skills, the player is only eligible to earn chests in skills that have actual level requirements.
So, if the activity has a Fishing level requirement, it will be eligible to drop Fishing Chests.
When performing an activity for a skill, only the primary skill is factored in for the player's equipment bonuses, the "2nd Skill" will also be affected by the equipment attributes based toward the "1st Skill" (IE: +1 Exp will apply to the "2nd Skill" as well).
The following activities are eligible to drop Fishing Chests.
