# Fishing

Pick a pool and settle in. Your character keeps casting while connected. Turn in your catches to the Angler for leaderboard points.

## A quieter kind of progress

Discover species, improve fishing mastery and track your largest catches. Different pools have different discoveries waiting in them.

Bait improves casting and catches. Fishing without bait includes occasional activity checks. Some finds are better left as a surprise.

## Visit the Angler

Turn in fish for leaderboard points and buy bait and supplies with Stardust. Fishing points cannot be spent. Tidewashed boxes can also contain Stardust Crystals, which you open for Stardust.

Fishing runs while connected. Offline expeditions are a separate planned system.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://everfall.gitbook.io/docs/first-light-and-progression/fishing.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
