Introduction
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Fate is a lovely little game full of endless monsters and amazing loot. But in
between the boundless fights there is a fun and quite rewarding side venture.
Fishing!! Yes I know, sounds boring doesn't it...but you may be surprised. The
information I have compiled here you could get within the game, but you'd have
to have an amazing memory to process it all...thus, this nice little FAQ!! I
hope you find it helpful in some way. Questions, comments, and additions are
quite welcome and you can contact me at my email listed both at the top and
bottom of this FAQ. This is my first FAQ, so be gentle...Thank you for reading
and enjoy!

In order to fish, you'll probably need to know how. You'll first have to buy
a fishing pole from one of the vendors. It's very inexpensive for the benefits.
As long as you have the pole in your inventory, you'll have the ability to fish.
You'll just need to find a spot. So you can recognize the fishing holes, head
to the pond in the northern part of the town. You'll see a golden sparkly spot
just off the dock in the water. If you left click on said spot, (again, making
sure you have the fishing pole in your inventory) your character will cast the
rod. When you see the exclamation point appear above your character's head, set
the hook and hopefully, there will be a fish on there. You'll have to be quick.
Clicking "Set the Hook" as quickly as you can after seeing the exclamation point
will give you a better chance of landing a fish. You'll find similar spots
throughout the dungeon levels.

One may ask, what exactly are the benefits of fishing? Couldn't I be out doing
more quests and getting more items etc etc... Well, yes, you could be. Your
pet is a helpful companion, but he needs a little boost every once in a while.
The fish you catch can DRASTICALLY change your pets attributes and/or
resistances. Sometimes this can give you the edge against certain monsters that
are a pain. Another, and some may say better, use for fishing is the items that
can be obtained. You can find MUCH better gear/gems while fishing on level 5
than will drop on level 30. Nice items means nice profits. Overall, fishing
is a vastly rewarding activity that takes little effort...my kind of fun...:)

There are 21 types of fish in 4 various sizes. The 4 sizes are as follows:
Fingerling - Transformation for 120 seconds (2 minutes)
Small - Transformation for 300 seconds (5 minutes)
Lunker - Transformation for 600 seconds (10 minutes)
Flawless - Transformation is "Permanent"
*NOTE* By "permanent" they mean "until you turn it into something
else" Once that next transformation wears off, your pet
will be changed back into dog/cat form.

There really isn't much skill involved in fishing, but there are a few things
that can make it easier/more profitable. A great thing I found to do was sit
at a fishing hole and get as many yellow items as I can. Load your pet up with
the loot you won't use and send him on his way. This is a very easy way to
rake in lots of cash quite quickly. Make sure, however, that you have a few
identify scrolls with you, a lot of the items you'll find have rather high
identification level requirements. You may also find that if your fishing hole
is "dry". Not too sure if it really helps, but I find if I'm not getting a
"bite" in a decent amount of time, I move my character around a little and
re-cast. Maybe it doesn't make any difference at all, but it seems to help for
me.
