# Fishing **Fishing Quests** can be performed by up to six Heroes at a time in each realm. These quests yield **Fish** and other rare items. > *Beautiful lake, isn't it? Looking over the water will do miracles for your soul. When my wife and kids come down to join me, there's no other place I would rather be.* > > *How about joining me for some fishing?* Fishing Quests are begun in the **Professions** zone by speaking to the **Fisher**. Any Hero can attempt Fishing Quests, but Heroes with the **Fishing profession gene** will use their Stamina more efficiently and have increased chances of item rewards. Successfully completing a Fishing Quest will grant each Hero a small amount of XP, and a chance toward increasing their **Fishing skill**, which, over time, will allow them to undertake more difficult quests. Heroes may also bring a [Pet companion](/gameplay/pets.md) with them to receive additional bonuses. These quests have a chance to reward Heroes with **Fish**, **Gaia's Tears**, **Runes**, and **Blue Pet Eggs**. All fish may be sold to the Vendor in the [Marketplace](/gameplay/locations/marketplace.md) for **Gold** or swapped at the Trader for other tokens or items. Some items are also used as reagents in crafting **Potions** and [Enhancement Stones](/gameplay/items/enhancement-stones.md), for hatching [Pets](/gameplay/pets.md), and for [leveling Heroes](/gameplay/heroes/leveling.md). ### Fishing Basics #### Duration per Attempt **20 seconds** per Hero per attempt #### Stamina Required per Attempt 7 Stamina (5 with the **Fishing profession gene**) #### Required Hero Range 1-6 Heroes #### Minimum XP Reward 15 XP per Quest attempt ### **Skill 10 Fishing Quests** Heroes with existing Fishing skill can perform more difficult quests for a chance at increased rewards. Skill 10 Fishing Quests introduce the following differences from Skill 0 Quests: * Heroes must meet a minimum **Fishing skill** requirement of 10 to participate * The base Hero **Experience Point (XP)** gain per quest attempt is raised to +25 XP * Heroes receive an **additional chance at a bonus roll for item rewards** * The chance of **Fishing skill increases** relative to the quest level is reduced by half ### **Pet Bonuses** Heroes that are bonded with a fed Pet that has the **Fishing Gathering Profession Bonus** will receive an additional bonus to their quest reward rolls. Possible Pet Fishing bonuses are drawn from the following:

For the purposes of the bonuses listed above: * "Rare" Fish include: * Serendale: Shimmerskin, Sailfish, Silverfin * Crystalvale: Shimmerskin, King Pincer, Three-Eyed Eel * "High Value" Fish include: * Serendale: Silverfin, Redgill * Crystalvale: King Pincer, Speckle Tail ### **Item Rewards** {% hint style="info" %} The item drop rates below are increased by varying combinations of the Hero's **Agility** and **Luck** stats, its **Fishing skill,** and the presence of the **Fishing profession gene**. {% endhint %} #### Serendale
