Fishing Spear in Medieval Dynasty: How to Craft It

Numbers are from the game files (version 2.5.0.2); Steam's build is newer.

Stone: "Mined from Rocks found in the wilderness and Stone Deposits found in caves using a Pickaxe. Can be used for crafting various items and for building structures." Log: "Obtained by cutting down trees and chopping them. Can be used for crafting various items and for building structures." Both are cheap (base price 0.4 and 1 coin). Four of each is enough for two crafts.

Linen Thread is the ingredient that costs you time: "Crafted from Flax Stalk on the Spinning Wheel in the Sewing Hut. Can be used for crafting Linen Fabric on the Loom in the Sewing Hut." The Linen Thread guide has the whole chain. If you only need one thread, Seamster and Stallholder Resources vendors list it at a base price of 40 coins.

The item's text reads "A type of tool. Crafted at the Workbench in the Smithy. Can be used for fishing.". The Smithy I costs 22 Stick, 15 Log, 8 Stone, 32 Straw and needs Crafting technology level 50; the game says it "Has the Workbench, the Forge and the Anvil inside".

Open the Fishing Spear recipe: 2 Stone, 2 Log, 1 Linen Thread makes 2 Fishing Spear, 5 seconds, 2.5 Crafting experience. The file stores no technology cost for it and the recipe is not locked, so it is open from the start.

The game's tutorial says: "Catching fish is another viable option for obtaining food. It can be done manually using the Fishing Spear or by setting fishing nets for small, medium and large fish. Fish can be dressed in the kitchen or roasted by the fireplace. The bigger the fish, the more Fish Meat it provides."

In the recipe file, plain Fish Meat has a tool cost of 0.3, and each named fish has Roach 1, Perch 1, Pike 1. The files do not state the rule behind those numbers, so I cannot tell you how many catches one spear lasts; a craft gives two spears, which is a sensible stock. The named fish are cooking recipes that give 1.9, 3.1, 5.4 Survival experience.

Fishing Spear has a base price of 50 coins and the files list Blacksmith, Fisherman and Stallholder Tools vendors as sellers. A Fishing Hut worker (the Fishing Hut I, Survival technology level 500) brings in Fish Meat once the hut stands.
