Fishing Pole

A wooden pole attached to a line and hook. Used to catch fish from rivers and the ocean.

Notes

A Fishing Pole is a basic tool used to catch fish from rivers and the ocean. It is a low-damage tool effective only against animals, costing 1 calorie per use and degrading 1 durability per use for a total of 100 casts before it breaks. Since the pole requires no specialty to craft, any player can make one early on, making it the standard way to secure a protein source before a dedicated fisher or cook becomes active.
