Someone told me Ibis will fish with me, but when I use it it only "produces items"

 

 

 

How do I get it to fish with me? I've tried fishing everything including tuna/swordfish. What am I doing wrong?

produces item is basically fishing for you

 

 

 

i get around 9-10 tuna/swordfish every inventory of fish i get

As long as you are fishing, the ibis will produce additional fish. (Swordfish and tuna.) You get 10% of the experience you would normally get for the fish it forages.

 

 

 

While it doesn't technically "fish for you" now, that is what it used to do before the second part of summoning came along. Back when summoning was first released, clicking "harpoon" on a harpoon spot would cause the ibis to move to the spot and actually start dipping its beak into the water to catch fish. The Granite Crab/Lobster could do this as well. Then while the ibis was fishing, you could go to the same spot and fish as well. (Although if you also wanted to harpoon, you'd need to be a little tricky to keep the game from just telling the ibis to harpoon again instead.) It was also possible to do other things like alch or attach feathers to bolts as it fished for you. It looked like this:

 

 

 

 

The Granite Crab and Ibis were some of the few familiars that got weaker with the Summoning 2 update. The crab can no longer catch all those bass and caskets, and it doesn't last nearly long enough to be as good as it used to be. But on the plus side, they may not last as long, but they no longer need to be used in the right kind of fishing spot.

Yes. The foraging is like fishing. The ibis was one of the few things to get nerfed.
