Fishing

What it is

Fishing is one of the many Skills in Curse of Aros. The Fishing skill is a resource gathering skill which doesn't require any kind of combat or fighting. You will earn Fishing-experience by casting your fishing rod at different bodies of water. Make sure you use a Fishing Rod when fishing to avoid getting your hand eaten by fish!
