Legacy:Fishing Pole

Fishing poles are tools used to catch fishes and is one of the staple food source early on for beginners. It is not enough to just craft a fishing pole, however. You also need a String\string, a hook, and bait.

New players players start with a fishing pole but not the other things needed to fish. For more information check the Fishing page.

How to Acquire

Craft > Tools > Fishing Gear > Fishing Pole

Create a pole by crafting two Branches into the pole. Now, you need a string, a hook, and some sort of lure or bait to catch fish.

String

There are two sources of strings that can be obtained early on. The first is Spindly Taproot which requires the Foraging skill. The other is plant fibre which requires you to find Flax or Hemp in which the Farming skill can be used to obtain more.

Hook The most accessible hook is the bone hook which is made from bones easily obtain from animals, paricularly rabbits and chickens.

Bait or Lure

Bait is can either be leeches obtain by walking through certain swamps or |earthworms obtain through digging (although the stamina it takes to dig might cost more hunger than you would replenish through eating the fish).

Lures are objects crafted and used the same way as baits are. The difference is that lure is most likely not lost after fishing but has a low success rate. The most accesible baits are Feather Flies (Block of wood + feather), Pine Comb Plug ((Cone from fir tree + birch bark)), Rock Lobster Lure (stone), and Woodfish (Block of wood).
