Though “Stardew Valley” is a farm life simulation game, simulating real-life activities like fishing, the Fishing skill in this game is unbelievably hard, especially for new players, considering that fishing isn’t difficult to master in real life. But fear not.
Level Up Your Fishing Skill
The Fishing skill in this game is associated with the same way you fish. You can a line into the water so you can hook a fish. Leveling up your Fishing skill grants you several bonuses and perks, such as:
- Increase in the size of your fishing bar
- Decrease in the maximum time before a fish bites
- Increase in the chances of spotting silver- or gold-quality fish
- Increase in the minimum size of fish you can catch
Also, leveling up this skill will give you access to tons of Professions. Let’s check them out.
Professions Offered By The Fishing Skill
Whether you are in Level 5 or 10, you can choose two overarching professions: Fisher and Trapper. If you decide to be a Fisher, your fish sells for 25 percent more gold. Meanwhile, going the Trapper way reduces the ingredient costs for crafting Crab Pots.
Once you reach Level 10, there are more professions to choose from.
Under the Fisher track, you can either be an Angler or take the risk and become a Pirate. Being an Angler, your fish will sell 50 percent more. As a Pirate, the chances of finding treasure will increase. Pirate, right?
Under the Trapper track, you can either be a Mariner or Luremaster, providing perks for your Crab Pots.
Which Profession Should You Choose?
The great thing about “Stardew Valley” is that it gives you plenty of choices when it comes to this. At Level 5, gaming experts give this verdict: Fisher is the better choice.
On the other hand, at Level 10, if you choose the Fisher track, choose to be a Pirate. It’ll give you access to the Dinosaur Egg or Prismatic Shard. If you select the Trapper track, the Luremaster is the better option.
