If you want to get the most out of your character in New World, you need the perfect gear. Additionally, today’s power-hungry player also requires high skill in fishing. Because that’s how you access buff food that makes you really strong.
What’s the deal with fishing? In New World, you can craft a fishing rod and then start fishing. Like other life skills, you can level fishing up to level 200. The higher the level, the better the fish you can catch.
However, anyone who thinks that fishing in New World is just a nice and relaxing pastime is mistaken.
On reddit, a player explains why fishing is so important. Because with legendary fish, you can obtain buff food that increases an attribute by 40 points. This helps you in PvE but especially in PvP.
If you want to delve deeper into fishing, here’s a suitable guide: How to Become a Pro Fisherman in New World.
Fishermen Win Wars in New World
What does the reddit user say? User BlakeGarrison62 explains on reddit that he has been fishing for days. By now, he has raised his skill to over 150 and is on the hunt for legendary fish.
Legendary fish are useful for two reasons:
- On one hand, certain fish can be crafted into a trophy for your house, which significantly increases your luck while fishing.
- On the other hand, legendary fish can be turned into buff food that improves a specific attribute by 40 points for 30 minutes. That’s a substantial increase.
The player explains that the difference in attributes will play a crucial role, especially in the wars over fortresses. A player with a fire staff who has 40 additional points in intelligence will be able to eliminate enemies much faster.
BlakeGarrison62 therefore assumes that the faction with the better fishermen will win the wars. Fishing is currently underestimated by too many players.
However, he also emphasizes that leveling fishing, particularly at higher levels, tends to become more work than fun.
