14. Fishing and Cooking:

Fishing is another way to gain items that recover life and mana - fish

You can use a rod that dropped e.g. in the catacombs or choose a loaner.
Watch out when you found a rod, if it breaks, its lost. A loaner will be provided free anytime.

The aim is to catch a fish before it can escape or your rod breaks.
Thus, always check the upper bar, it should not run to zero. The other bar represents the fish, if this is zero, you got the fish.
You should not click onto the fishes health barlike mad to reel them in, but do it slow with some strategy.
Everytime the SNAG! appears, you have to counter the action by clicking the Snack button.

The more you fish, the higher your fishing proficiency rises and you can try to catch a higher level fish.
With no experience, you should usually go for level 1 or 2 fish.

According to what is know at the moment:
Level 1-4 fish: maximum of 50 life, mana, or combined.
Ex. Magical Fish - Heals 50 Life
Level 5-9 fish: maximum of 100 life, mana, or combined.

You should check this guide for some more information on fishing:

Fishing - A Guide For All Of You

After you catched some fish, you may cook them in order to increase their effect.
Basically, this works quite the same as the fishing.
The top bar represents the temperature, if this rises to the maximum, your fish gets burned and its effect lowered.
The bottom bar represents the cooking level of your fish, the best effect would be a 100% cooked fish.
You can only cook fresh fish.

Cook in the same way as you fish and when the FLAME! appears counter it by pressing the Flame button


15. Glyphing:

You may take gear you found to this place in order to create Glyphs out of them.
This means, you can use this item afterwards outside combats in the same way as a fish or comfrey,
but in this case you receive the modifications of this item also in battles for a certain amount of time as if you equipped it.
Points of the same modification do not stack up, but you can use several glyphs with different mods of course.

Choose an item you want to glyph and start the process.
3 messages can appear: Transfuse, Purge, and Inscribe
As soon as it appears, hit the corresponding button. If you fail or are to slow, the stability of the item loweres.
If it hits zero or you abort the process, its lost.
You can gain proficiency skills for this process as well, this is important to glyph higher level items.
Whenever a ??? appears instead of one of the messages above, your skill level is most likely to low for the item you want to glyph and you have to guess.
