Fishing numbers and experience

Stage	Normal value	Changes
Wind-up	0.3–1.5 s	3–12 m cast distance
Wait for bite	5–30 s	2.5–15 s during 07:00–07:59 or 17:00–17:59; a storm doubles the wait
Set the hook	0.6 s	0.84 s with Angler
Haul	6 s accumulated inside the band	20 s total limit; 2 s accumulated outside the band gives a plain haul
Tension band	20% of the bar at rank 0	Grows to 30% at rank 100, before attribute modifiers
School bonus	+1 fish when the cast lands within 10 m	+2 with Netter; at most 40 school-bonus hauls per account daily

Ordinary fishing and rare-find rolls continue after the school-bonus allowance is used. A school need not disappear when its daily bonus stops. These chances do not depend on Fishing rank:

Find	Water requirement	Base chance	With Deep-Sea	With Pearl Diver
Trophy	Any water	0.5%	0.5%	0.5%
Pearl	Witnessed sea water	2%	4%	6%
Slaughterfish	Witnessed sea water	1%	2%	1%

Fishing uses your current rank's tier for XP, so it never suffers the ordinary low-material penalty. The plain and full-net awards are:

Rank	Tier used for XP	Plain haul XP	Full net XP
0	1	15	22
10	2	30	45
25	3	45	67
40	4	60	90
55	5	75	112
70	6	90	135
90	7	105	157
