Fishing
Learnt Skill Description
You have learned how to fish. Standing close to water will enable you to try your fishing luck.
Guide to Fishing
Fishing is a skill associated with catching fish with a fishing rod. Once you acquired a new rod, you'll unlock the Fishing skill, which can be found in your Skill Book. Memorize this skill to add it to your set of abilities.
Once you have equipped your fishing rod and loaded the bait, approach the fishing area. Use your skill card and click on the water. Keep in mind that if your fishing skill is low, it's more probable that fish will escape. The higher your fishing skill, the better your chances of catching valuable fish.
Casting Distance
With the Casting fishing rod, if you are trying to fish further away, a mini-game will appear.
The mini-game screen contains a moving bar that indicates the line's area of effect. The goal of the fishing mini-game is to hit the green area, thus improving the chances of catching fish. If you click on the orange bar, the chances of catching the fish are reduced, and if you miss completely, the fish escapes.
Fishing Spots
The types of fish you can catch depend on the type of water (river, ocean, lake) and part of the world where they occur. Fishing areas are indicated by small fish jumping out of the water and a distinctive sound effect. Outside of fishing areas, you will mostly catch trash. Fishing areas are now stocked with specific fish that deplete as you catch them, but regenerate over time.
Weather & Time
- Weather affects fishing. When it rains, fishing is faster and more productive.
- Time of day does not affect the type of fish you can catch.

Bait
To lure fish, it's essential to equip your fishing rod with soil worms. You can acquire these worms from vendors located in Myr, Bat Saha, and Crossings' Market, or from a character named Fisher who sporadically appears near rivers and oceans. Additionally, keep an eye out for worms during your travels, as they often appear as small patches of soil.
To load your rod, simply go to your inventory, select the bait, and drag them into the designated bait slot on your fishing rod. Without bait, you'll only reel in trash rather than fish.
Higher quality bait
Certain small fish increase the chances of catching fish. Fish with this particularity are specified in their description.
