The Joys of Fishing

Ah, I see you've noticed my eye-catching hat! I know it's a little ostentatious, but I find it distracts people from the overpowering smell of fish.

Fishing's been in my family for generations, you see, and I wouldn't give it up for anything. It's been the one constant joy in my life, through all the ups and downs.

Why, you can fish almost anywhere! Off the side of a fast-moving clipper, or in a hidden lagoon while you wait for nightfall. Even out your window in Seareach prison, if you can bribe a guard or two.

But hey, enough about me. You look like someone who'd enjoy casting a line or two of your own!

Whaddya say? Are you interested in learning how to fish?

Well then, let's get started! But unless you intend on jumping in to catch the fish by hand, you'll need to make yourself a decent fishing rod.

Since you're just starting out, I'll help you make your first rod. The first thing you'll need is a |nn;@ITEM_NAME(19429)|r. To make it, you'll need a few |nb;@ITEM_NAME(3433)s|r and some |nb;@ITEM_NAME(8256)|r.

Once you've got your Bamboo and your Fabric, use a @DOODAD_NAME(532) to combine them into a |nn;@ITEM_NAME(19429)|r. Then come back here and we'll start the next step.

Good work! The bamboo will make your fishing pole nice and flexible. Ready to add the next part?

Here, take this @ITEM_NAME(27325) to get you started. Making your first fishing pole can be a little confusing, so I figured I'd make it easy on you.
