How Fishing works

1
Carry a Fishing Rod.

If your selected rod is missing or invalid, the game selects the highest-quality Fishing Rod in your inventory.

2
Click a Fishing Spot.

You can fish at 23 spots across 4 tiers, from Tier I to Tier IV.

3
Interact with the spot when the fish bites.

After the 3 - 7 second cast delay, interact with the spot again. The response window lasts 2 seconds at Tier I, 1.5 at Tier II, 1 at Tier III, and 0.75 at Tier IV. An early or late response fails.

4
Wait for a bite.

Rod quality, Fishing skill, and spot tier decide whether the attempt succeeds.

5
Catch a fish, trash, or nothing.

When a fish bites, the game first tries to catch one of the fish listed for that spot. If the first attempt does not catch a fish, higher-tier spots can instead catch a random fish from lower tiers. Tier II spots can catch Tier I fish, Tier III spots can catch Tier I - II fish, and Tier IV spots can catch Tier I - III fish.

If you catch no fish from the spot or a lower tier, you either catch trash or the fish gets away.

6
Gain experience and possibly Fishing skill.

A bite gives experience based on the spot's tier and can improve Fishing until you pass that tier's skill limit.

Max Level: 100% Achievement: Master Angler

Each fish you catch also counts toward The Fishers' Request while that regional event runs in your region.
