Fishing

Fishing and cooking go hand in hand...catch fish and cook them. Higher level cooking skills require many components derived from fishing. To skill up fishing and cooking it doesn't take a great deal of talent, instead it takes an intense grind consisting of thousands of casts, fish, and flames to cook them over. I'll send you around to various lakes, trainers, and NPCs who bare recipes. You will catch approximately 1317 fish to reach skill 300 or 2181 to reach skill 375. I used the formula 1 + (lvl-75) / 25 to calculate the number of fish required for levels 75-375.
