Dragonwilds:Fishing

File:Fishing Skill Icon.png

Fishing is a skill that released on 21 April 2026 alongside the 0.11.1 update and is Dragonwilds' eleventh skill. While originally meant to be coupled with the release of Dragonwilds:Dowdun Reach, Jagex had confirmed to hold back on releasing the skill to fine-tune it more with the increased skill cap of 99.

To train this skill, players must use fishing-related tools (such as nets or fishing rods and bait) to catch fish in rivers and lakes. Fish can be used for Dragonwilds:Cooking, Dragonwilds:Crafting, or to just "show off with base trophies". Dragonwilds:Magic can also be used to interact with the Fishing skill in some way.

In order to begin training this skill, players must first make their first net (aka Dragonwilds:Coarse Net) and start the Dragonwilds:Shrimp Catcher quest.

Constructs

Mechanics

To train this skill, players must use the corresponding tools with their respective Fishing Spots. Nets can only be used in Net Fishing Spots and fishing rods (with bait) only work on Rod Fishing Spots.

With Net Fishing, you must use the LMB to trawl your net in a net fishing spot to acquire fish and random junk (like Stone or Weeds).

Rod Fishing Spots, however, require more work than their Net counterparts. To catch fish from these spots, you must also use the A and D keys to move the rod left or right. This will tire out the fish and allow you to reel it in. Use the LMB to reel in your fish.
