Fishing (魚釣り, Sakanatsuri) is the activity of trying to catch fish. Fishing techniques include spearing, netting, angling, and trapping. It is a mini-game in several titles of the Suikoden series.
Information
During the Dunan Unification War, Yam Koo had a fishing spot at the New State Army Headquarters on Lake Dunan. He would allow the hero to use the spot for 100 potch per cast (to cover bait costs).
Depending on the type of fish caught, Yam Koo could buy them or they could be used as ingredients for Hai Yo's restaurant. If one were unlucky, they might end up reeling in an old boot instead.
Gameplay (Suikoden II)
Upon starting the fishing minigame, fish can begin hooking after 5 seconds. If nothing bites the hook by 60 seconds, then the hero will fall asleep and no fish can hook anymore.
Once a fish is hooked, the player must match the green pair (the player's pulling power) with the yellow box (the fish's pulling power.) If the player's pulling power is within the fish's pulling power box, then the fish is reeled in. If it's outside, the fish moves away. Once a fish is reeled in all the way then they are caught.
The hero's stats play a large role in fishing. If one is having trouble reeling fish in, they may want to wait until their hero is higher level.
- Strength helps increase the player's pulling power, and also determines how fast fish are reeled in.
- Dexterity determines the size of the fish's pulling power box, giving the player more leeway.
Catching Fish
| Fish / Item | Base Weight | Weight Variability | Base Price | Hook Chance (per second) | Available Time on Line | Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Boot | 1.0kg | +/- 0.25kg | 10 potch | 0.6% | 5 to 60 seconds | |
| Squid | 2.0kg | +/- 0.5kg | 50 potch | 2.4% | 5 to 45 seconds | |
| Stonefish | 3.5kg | +/- 1.0kg | 300 potch | 1.8% | 5 to 30 seconds | |
| Blowfish | 4.0kg | +/- 1.25kg | 900 potch | 1.8% | 5 to 20 seconds | |
| Whitefish | 1.5kg | +/- 0.25kg | 200 potch | 3.0% | 5 to 30 seconds | |
| Shellfish | 3.0kg | +/- 1.0kg | 600 potch | 3.0% | 5 to 40 seconds | Caught 1 Whitefish |
| Shrimp | 2.0kg | +/- 0.5kg | 1200 potch | 2.6% | 5 to 50 seconds | Caught 2 Shellfish |
| Salmon | 7.5kg | +/- 2.5kg | 4500 potch | 1.8% | 5 to 60 seconds | Caught 2 Shrimp |
To determine the potch value of a fish, use the following formula:
Price = Base Price x (Weight - Base Weight) / (Variance x 2)
