Underwater Fishing
|
Underwater Fishing is a fishing game found in an underwater cave in Old Maraqua. These caves give a users Neopet a chance to fish for an item. The item caught is random, but as a pet's fishing skill increases new items become available. Fishing skill is increased at random when a Neopet successfully fishes for any item. The higher the fishing skill, the more likely a valuable item will be received.
A Neopet can check to see if they have something on their fishing line at any time, but receiving a prize is a timed event, and if not enough time has passed since the last visit, nothing is awarded. It's believed users should check back once every 2-12 hours depending on their Neopets fishing skill.
Fishing skill can also be raised by having a Neopet read the book Fishing Made Easy. This increases fishing skill by 1-3, and just like real books can only be read once to a Neopet. The book is a prize while fishing and it is currently believed a minimum fishing skill 20 is needed to be caught.
Although users can only fish with the pets on their main account, they can fish will all four of their pets every day, increasing their chances of getting a valuable item.
Trivia
- Users can receive the Fishing - Titanic Squid Avatar when their Neopets fishing skill is at least 80 and catch a Titanic Giant Squid.
- Users at fishing level 40 and over could catch a book called "waterlogged book". Though it was always classified as a book item, neopets could not decipher the runny text until August 10th, 2005.
- There are 88 catchable Underwater Fishing items including a variety of edible fish and squid, seaweed that can be placed in a user's Neogarden, books, Battledome weapons, special items, and junk.
