Spear Fishing
Fish swimming near the surface can be speared: stab one you're standing over, or throw a spear at it from the bank (secondary attack) - the spear has to come down right on it. Every vanilla spear works, the later ones a little better (the Abyssal Harpoon best of them), but the leisters, the old Norse fish spears, are made for it:
| Leister | Station | Fish up to |
|---|---|---|
| Flint Leister | Workbench 1 | 3 kg |
| Bronze Leister | Forge 1 | 8 kg |
| Iron Leister | Forge 2 | 15 kg |
| Silver Leister | Forge 3 | 25 kg |
| Black Metal Leister | Forge 5 | 40 kg |
| Carapace Leister | Black Forge 1 | 60 kg |
| Flametal Leister | Black Forge 2 | 80 kg |
| Frostcore Leister | Black Forge 3 | 100 kg |
A heavier fish tears free. Fish deeper than about 5 m, deep-ocean fish, legendaries and boss fish need a rod. A speared fish goes straight into your bag (at your feet if it's full) and counts like any catch (catch log, records, mastery, rank, Fishing skill); it trains the Spears skill too, which makes you surer, but it comes out a little lighter than one landed on a rod. Leisters hit creatures more weakly than their spears.
