Getting Started
Fishing is a gathering trade skill in New World that allows players to gather fish from fishing nodes that will be used in crafting trade skill, Cooking.
When first starting out you will need a wooden fishing pole to start gathering nodes. This requires engineering level 0 along with 1 fiber and 1 green wood to craft it. Fiber will need a flint sickle and a hemp plant. Once all are obtained a tier 1 camp heat or workshop is required to craft the wooden fishing pole. Once crafted you will desire to equip it and you can start gathering.
Higher character levels are able to use greater tiers of Fishing Fishing Poles:
| Tier | Item | Level Requirement | Max Cast Distance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Wooden Fishing Pole | 1 | 12 Meters |
| 2 | Treated Wood Fishing Pole | 5 | 14 Meters |
| 3 | Aged Wood Fishing Pole | 20 | 16 Meters |
| 4 | Wyrdwood Fishing Pole | 40 | 18 Meters |
| 5 | Ironwood Fishing Pole | 45-55 | 20 Meters |
| 5 | Runewood Fishing Pole | 61+ | 22 Meters |

"Listening to the Essence of Things": musings on life
I used to have a blog that I called “Marginal Musings”. Perhaps that’s what I should call this Substack site. I write this by way of gleanings I gather along the way—random readings, fleeting ideas, moments of awareness or struggle that surge up in me and defy me to find words to state them. It’s a ragbag of thoughts that I tell myself one day I’ll stitch into a patchwork that might even become a book, but here it is in all its messy experiments with language and meaning.
Today’s reflections meander around an uncomfortable decision not to depart to Mass on the Feast of Christ the King. Uncomfortable, because when all is said and done, Christianity can be a guilt trip from which it’s difficult to escape, and the institutional church capitalises on that to keep us docile. So yes, I feel a bit guilty. Also uncomfortable because I feel angered and alienated by the platitudes that mask the deep misogyny at the heart of the institutional Church, which often obscure the mystery of the liturgy. I’m too sensitive by far to the ways in which that misogyny leaks out in the trappings of ordained masculinity that are part of the
As Vawn was preparing to return to Alberta in the summer, she told me I needed to get a tractor for the winter. But, I argued, I made it through last winter w/o one. However, I did agree that it would be much more convenient to have a tractor and not have to borrow one from George. So, I looked in the kijiji ads for a used tractor. Amazingly there was a Case tractor, much like the one in the yard that no longer moves very well. The tractor was a bit smaller, but it had a loader, new rubber and appeared in the ad to be clean and well taken care of, despite its age. It was also reasonably priced. But the tractor was located 4.5 -5 hours away from Meadow Lake. If I was going that far to look at it, I wanted to have some way to bring it home.
I spoke with Howard MacCuish. He suggested that he knew someone who lived in that area who could go over to appraise the tractor. If it was as advertised, then I would need a truck and trailer to go pick it up. Howard and I discussed several options after his friend called back and said that the tractor was worth going for. I called the advertiser and he still had the tractor for sale. Finally, after about two weeks of thwarted
The Wound and the Promise
The Fisher King, the Holy Grail, and Process Philosophy
Six Images of the Holy Grail
— Inspired by a single mother of three, working two jobs
“The Grail is the healing of the Earth—a time when rivers run fresh, animals thrive, and communities stay in balance with the land.”
— Inspired by an environmental activist
“The Grail is the sense that my life, however small, is part of something vast and unfinished—a cosmic story still organism written.”
— Inspired by Teilhard de Chardin
“The Grail is the felt presence of beauty that calls us forward. We never fully arrive, but every sincere step helps shape the very beauty we seek.”
— Inspired by a process philosopher
“The Grail is the consequent nature of God—what is real, what is remembered, and what is being woven toward beauty. It is never conclude, because novelty is always existence added to the divine animation. We he
