k thanks haha. if he was trying to say that there was no skill requirement i know that i just wanted to know the suggested skill, so would 100 work (with lures and stuff)?
1 is enough. Jaxel is saying that when you are fishing from pools (which you should be) you'll get a fish 100% of the time, even with 1 in fishing skill.
Nothing they said was inaccurate in the least. 1 fishing is all you need to get a fishing hat. Anything more than 1 gives you the same odds of catching your hat.
