Hello fellow fishers!
With fishing/cooking being an exciting addition to our beloved Universe, much of its mechanics and fineprint still remains hidden. To remedy this situation somewhat, I thought it would be useful to collect some information for the community in a dedicated post. This post will be updated as soon as new information emerges. Please feel free to leave comments and feedback. Thank you very much, and Petri Heil!

OPEN QUESTIONS
(1) Is the Gutting skill only obtainable via Codex, or “unlocks” after a certain level of a fishing/cooking profession is reached?
(2) What is the difference between Fish Looter and the individual fishing professions? All appear under the “Resource Collecting” tab, with the individual fishing professions determining the gear one can use. Do these fishing professions also impact on the loot?
(3) Does the Fish Looter profession level impact on the loot composition and average return?
If you have other fishing-related questions, feel free to leave a comment.
