Fishing Guide

Fishing is something to do in your downtime. You can acquire amazing cooking materials through fishing but it doesn't directly contribute toward your gear progression. This Fishing Guide teaches you how to fish and where to get better fishing rods.

Fishing Basics

1. Equip any Fishing Rod into this slot like Bamboo Fishing Rod.
2. Equip any bait.
   • Paste Bait
     • You get 50 daily from the Contract Coin Merchant.
   • Worm Bait
   • Shrimp Bait
   • Fish Fillet Bait
     • Dissolve fish.

Steps to Fish

1. Have your fishing rod out by clicking it and having bait on.
2. Have the blue indicator on any body of water and then press "F."
3. Once a fish has been caught, two stamina bars appear.
   • The fish's stamina bar is orange.
   • You have a green stamina bar.
4. In the direction that the fish is moving, pull the rod in the opposite direction to deplete the fish's stamina.
5. Stop pulling left or right for a second to recover your stamina.
6. Repeat until the fish is caught.

You can speed up the fishing process by up to 60% by using an animation cancel as well. When you catch a fish (after step 6), you can use the hotkey to pull out / put away your fishing rod (ctrl+F by default) to skip the fish catching animation. This lets you immediately cast your next bait, saving a lot of time over a long fishing session.

Fishing Codex

The Fishing Codex is a feature recently added to Throne and Liberty. The main use of the Codex is to track Fish that you have caught as well as see which fish you are missing. The current Fishing Codex caps out at 99 points, and each point is earned by catching a Fish in a new Habitat. Most Fish have several different Habitats and need to be caught in each one for all points. Some Fish, such as Lava Fish, can only be acquired in special locations or under special circumstances. At certain point thresholds, you get rewards such as Titles, Materials, a new Cooking Recipe, and a new Amitoi! Below you can find a list of Fish and the Habitats they can be caught in. Keep in mind that once you catch a Fish, you can no longer gain points for that fish unless you catch it in a new Habitat.

Famous Fishing Location

Famous Fishing Locations are limited-time spots around the map where you can catch many different rare types of Fish, as well as fish that normally only spawn in certain conditions (for example, at night). These spots appear on your map every three hours and last until either the timer expires or all of the fish are caught. These Famous Fishing Locations are also the only way you can catch Lava Fish.
