15 Fishing and Survival questions answered by Devs

The amount of items you need to level your skill are most likely still correct, it's the effects of food that may change, and hopefully some new food will be added. (I don't see the new food effecting the items you need to level Survival, as I most often listed the commonest and easiest to get fish, all of which have recipes already)

General Advice

• Get fishing! You may as well do it at the same time rather than buy fish off of other people.
  
  
• Fishing and Survival trainers are in every zone right next to the repeatable faction quest fish NPC.
  
  
• Fishing and Survival DO NOT COUNT towards you 3 profession cap.
  
  
• Survival counts towards manufacturing, so now all you gathers can get those manufacturing achievements!
  
  
• You can only have one food buff (excluding Birthday Cake) up at any time. This includes food from faction vendors and Survival.
  
  
• The tool tip for each fish no has info on the depth and area that the fish is found in. This includes fish in crafting windows, not just the ones in your bags!

Food

Most of the survival food can be learned from the trainer, but some come from recipes found in treasure chests/supply crates/etc that are fished up. They may also be found in tackle boxes, but this has not yet been confirmed.

Camping Supplies

Skill Level	Item	Needed	Effect

100	Standard Bedroll	Burlap Cloth x2 Cotton Cloth x1	“You are Resting” group buff. Likely grants rest exp quicker than Rugged Bedroll
