Fishing
Fishing is a gathering profession that allows you to catch fish for crafting, trading, and selling. Additionally, rare items and treasures can be obtained through fishing. Here you will find details on how to start fishing, where to find instructors, available fishing equipment and special fishing zones.
Getting Started with Fishing
To begin fishing, you have to acquire a Fishing Rod and Fishing Bait, both of which can be obtained from Fishing Instructors. Fishing can be performed at any body of water, but certain areas offer better chances for rare catches.
How to Fish
- Equip a Fishing Rod and Fishing Bait.
- Find a body of water and cast the rod.
- Monitor the overhead icons:
- First icon: The fish is almost ready to be caught.
- Second icon (Rod symbol): Click the rod again to reel in the fish.
- Failing to react to the second icon will result in a failed catch.

Fishing Baits

Using the right bait is essential for improving fishing efficiency and increasing the chances of catching rare fish. There are three main types of bait, each suited for different levels of fishing expertise.
- Basic Fish Bait is the most accessible option and can be purchased directly from any Fishing Instructor. It’s perfect for beginners and allows players to start catching fish right away.
- Attractive Fish Bait becomes available at Fishing Level 36 and offers a better chance of catching higher-quality fish. This bait isn’t sold directly but can be obtained by trading common caught fish with Fishing Instructors.
- Bloody Fish Bait is a high-level bait that requires Fishing Level 58 to use. This bait significantly improves the chances of catching rare and valuable fish. Unlike the other baits, it is acquired by exchanging rare caught fish with Fishing Instructors.
Upgrading to better bait as soon as it becomes available will greatly enhance fishing success, making it easier to obtain both valuable fish and rare treasures.

Fishing Rod Durability and Repairs
 |
 |
Fishing rods degrade with use and require maintenance.
- Each use decreases durability.
- Fishing Rod Repair Kits can restore durability but have a chance to malfunction.
- Malfunctions may reduce durability further or, in rare cases, destroy the rod completely.
To avoid losing high-tier fishing rods, it is recommended to repair them before they reach critical durability.
Rare Fishing Treasures
While fishing, there is a small chance to pull up something far more valuable than just fish. These rare treasures contain unique rewards, including crafting recipes and special items.
One of the most sought-after treasures is the Scroll in a Bottle. These mysterious scrolls contain one of 30 exclusive fishing recipes, making them highly valuable for players looking to craft advanced fishing equipment or special items.
Another rare find is the Unknown Box, which can contain a variety of Item Shop rewards or Quality of Life items. Since the contents of the box are random, opening one could grant anything from useful consumables to rare and valuable resources.
The chances of finding these treasures are low, but they can be increased by using higher-quality fishing rods and advanced bait. Patience and persistence will eventually be rewarded with these rare and valuable finds.
Stream Zones – Special Fishing Areas
Stream Zones are rare fishing locations that provide increased efficiency and a higher chance of catching valuable fish or treasures.
Identifying a Stream Zone
- Appear as agitated or bubbling water in various bodies of water.
- Provide bonuses when fishing within them.
- Relocate after a period of time or after being overused.
If a Stream Zone is discovered, it is recommended to use it quickly before it disappears.
Additional Tips for Fishing
- Carry extra bait to avoid running out during a fishing session.
- Repair fishing rods regularly to prevent breakage.
- Use higher-tier bait to catch valuable fish more efficiently.
- Utilize Stream Zones for better rewards.
- React quickly to fishing icons to avoid failed attempts.
