Fishing
- Fishing refers to a Monster Hunter: The Savage Coast mechanic or behavior. It is only applicable to High Rank Hunts.
Fishing is one of the three gathering activities that can be done on the Savage Coast.
Unlike its two Gathering counterparts, you can also fish outside of the island, next to any bed of water.
For Master Fishermen (Fishing Enchant level 3), the types of fish you encounter will change depending on the map type you fish in:
- Fishing in The Savage Coast will result in a higher chance of finding Large Fish.
- Fishing in Towns will result in a higher chance of finding Small Fish.
- Fishing in Fields or Dungeons will result in an even split between Large and Small Fish.
Note: Aqualings will only spawn on the Savage Coast, you can not spawn them in fields, towns, or dungeons.

Making Tonics
To make tonics you trade in the fish you catch to Mack Arell. You can find him at the Fishing Camp.
Each fish trades in for points towards a specific stat. The NPC will store your points for you.
You can trade 3000 points of one stat to make 3~10 tonics of that same stat.
Every Tonic has a 10 minute duration, and can only be used during High Rank Hunting missions.

Fatty Tuna (VIT fish).
