Fishing

When equipped with a fishing rod, players can walk to certain "bubbly" areas of water and press G to fish. Currently, the only catchable fish are Sun Carp, which come in different sizes.

Fishing Competition

The fishing competition is an event that occurs on Fjolarok every day at 19:00 UTC. When Angler Nayla appears next to the dock north of the Hermit's Shack, players can participate in the fishing competition by catching Ancient Sun Carp at locations where players normally catch Sun Carp. The competition gives players 10 minutes to prepare, and then 10 minutes to fish. The player who caught and handed in the largest Ancient Sun Carp earns Angler's Marks, which can be exchanged for better fishing rods and Cerulean Pearls, which are used to augment fishing rods. Cerulean Pearls cost 4 Angler's Marks each, whereas fishing rods cost different amounts of Angler's Marks depending on their rarity. The top three entrants win Angler's Marks (35, 20 and 10) which can be traded in for Cerulean Pearls, Common Fishing Rods, Magic Fishing Rods and Rare Fishing Rods. Players must use the Competition Rod to participate, which can be obtained from Angler Nayla for free, thus obviating the need to buy a Flimsy Fishing Rod from the Hermit.

Fishing Rods

There are currently 5 types of fishing rods in the game. Each fishing rod has its own different stats, and some of them can be augmented for even better stats.

Name Stats Augmentable? Obtaining Notes
Flimsy Fishing Rod ? Yes Hermit
Common Fishing Rod ? Yes Angler Nayla
Magic Fishing Rod ? Yes Angler Nayla
Rare Fishing Rod ? Yes Angler Nayla
Master Rod 69% faster catch speed
14% extra catch chance
15% increased fish weight
20% extra chance to hook items
Unknown (probably no) Exclusive prize from the Grand Fishing Tournament
Competition Rod ? No Only rod that can catch Ancient Sun Carp for the Fishing Competition

Another fishing related item is Nayla's Double Hook, another exclusive item of the Grand Fishing Tournament. It is a hook type item (the first of its kind) but is equippable into the trinket slot. It is a level 1 item, associated with The Anglers (Neutral), and gives a 4% chance to multi-catch.

Grand Fishing Tournament

The Grand Fishing Tournament was a one-time event held on September 3, 2017 at 6PM GMT. The prizes given out were the Master Rod, Nayla's Double Hook, and triple the number of Angler's marks than usual. FishingCompetitionAnnouncement.png
