Welcome to Gaia! ::

I got a Bino Mask with 10 Buckin Binos. n_n So it takes 10 of the very rare fish to get a Mask.

Thanks Tasogare for the final Bino. n_n

How many fish per hat?
100 for the 3 normal fish hats, and ten for the ultra rare masks.

How is my score calculated?
Your overall score consists of the added prices of all fish and junk you caught (and saved) while playing Gaia Fishing. (The price is listed for each fish in your inventory when you click on it. Sellback is 50% of this price.)
Your individual scores for Bass'ken Lake, the Port of Gambino and the Druem Reclamation Factory are comprised of only the fish you caught there, not counting the junk items.

How many fish can I hold?
There is proof that you can store well over 1000 fish of the the same type in your inventory. It's probably that this number goes up to 9999. (If you have more than that, please post here.)

Thank you, Aoyume.

How do I fish?
Buy bait and a rod from the fishing shop, and click on one of the bodies of water. Then, click on the bait you want to use.

How do I do the red line thing?
How do I catch the fish?
It's tricky. When you see the fish marker, move your mouse in the direction opposite where it's going (as if you were pulling a fishing rod that direction). That will pull the fish the way you pull it, and you just keep doing it.

Can I sell fish?
Go to the fish shop and you can sell it. You must not be fishing when you go there, or you have to end your game if you really want to get in. The shop also buys junk.

What do different rods do?
They change the shapes of the red lines.

What does different bait do?
It seems that the bait effects the frequency of more expensive fish. F-Bait will hook you mostly cheap fish bites. D-Bait will hook you more medium-priced fish. And A-Bait will have the greatest chance of you hooking a high-priced fish. Its true that you can hook any rarity of fish with any bait, but the pricier bait WILL get you rarer fish.

Thank you, Dark Lord Sigma.

How do you see your fishing stats?
Go to the fishing shop, and click the billboard. Your stats will be at the bottom of the page. However, it's not up. The overall stats are linked at the top of the second page.

What's up with the fishing hat rumour?
The rumour is that if you catch 100 fish, you get a fishing hat. I don't know if this is true. However, the fish exchange seems to be something where you can trade your caught fish for items. Keep an eye out for that. It's a fact that there's fishing hats, and it's probably from the exchange, but that's not yet proven and won't be until the exchange is up.

What does moving do?
It changes the background, but I haven't noticed anything else about it. However, I've heard that it does help, and it doesn't hurt to try it. Actually, you know what? It does change things, seeing as I got 6 junk in a row once.

You don't have all the fish colors up there!
So? There's two colors per fish, but they sell for the same price. Therefore, I'm only showing one picture. The shape's the same.

Does how far the meter is before you hook a fish matter?
Apparently not.

Gaia ate my bait! What do I do?
If the window's still open, try hitting F5 to refresh the window.

Angelic Rod and Angelic Rod Plus are real items, and that is a confirmed fact. Nothing else is. No one knows how to get them, yet, but some people think it may be from the exchange.

Durem Reclamation Facility Fish Speeds:

*Pebbos
The white and brown pebbos are similar but the white is faster and sometimes starts with a zig zag similar to the stone boldurs. The brown pebbos are zippy but not zipier than the white. Pebbos have a snappier comeback than junk but it's not always easy to tell.

Black Rocque Bitter: 3 seconds, slow but travels far out of the red lines.

BlueStone Bitters: 3 seconds, drift along the red line.
*I would like to confirm that the bluestone biters and its kin have a DEAD weight. They're VERY slow on turn but they indeed drift well out of the red line range. It is noticeably heavy and it's worth your investment to concentrate if you feel like you're pulling in a dead cow.

Sand Boldur: 1-2 seconds, fast zig-zags across the water between the boundaries. Splashes a hefty amount of times (5-10x)

*The Stone Boldurs have a fast zig zag.
I've confirmed this three times. You literally say zig one zag one and that's how fast they turn. It's less than a second (one hundred...) and while they stay somewhat within the lines you should still be ready. They sometimes start with a fast zigzag if you let the pole have some slack in the beginning (meaning you're not pulling one way or the other).

*Junk
If you don't move the pole first you hook it won't zig zag like a living fish but may drift. Junk and pebbos are easily confused for me but junk has a slow drift after a pull. It's not exaggeratedly slow like the biters, but it's slow enough to differentiate from living animals. If you don't move the pole first you hook it won't zig zag like a living fish but may drift. It CAN drift fast, as evident by a reckless tin can once. However after a pull you may notice it dead drifting. Anyways I will update the junk after I find a good way to confirm it is.

Cora~Panther: Also I once used which direction it started off as a guide but it's not failproof. Sometimes they start on any side.

Hope this helps!

SSEdo27: You can guess who wrote who now 3nodding


* = Cora~Panther's info

Nope. Just the ones I've personally caught.

Raijin:

Yeah, that's what it looks like. My theory is that it'll give you more 'points' for the Top Fishers thing, but I'm not sure yet.

Post questions here and I'll try to help as best I can.
