Tutorial:Fishing Guide


 * This is a guide for probably almost all the fishing techniques for, the second most annoying skill to level up.

Note: All of these guides assume that you already have Shark Scale Armor and a fishing pet with a decent level.

XP/Barn Fishing

 * Required item(s): Squid Pet


 * In order to start XP fishing, you would have to travel to the Spider's Den since it is the only place with natural rain that covers every island. You will then have to teleport over to the barn with an Aspect of the End to start fishing. The reason for this is because there is water at a pretty high place and a platform under to keep the Sea Creatures there. After going to The Barn, fish for 5 minutes then equip the Squid Pet and go down to kill all the sea creatures.


 * For the best XP gaining rate, an Ammonite Pet paired with whale bait would be recommended.

Ink Fishing

 * Required item(s): Squid hat, squid pet


 * Ink fishing is a fishing method in which you kill a massive amount of squids and night squids in order to obtain large amounts of ink sacks. This fishing style often happens in the park with Vanessa’s rain on. After some testing, using a shredder to fish up squids and then kill them with is the most efficient way to ink fish.


 * However, for some unknown reason, killing sea creatures directly with a hook would reduce mob loot. This is when pet rules come into play. Setting up a pet rule like the one under would maximize your ink sack gaining rates.


 * Condition 1)
 * When: You enter Combat; equip Squid Pet
 * Condition 2)
 * When: You throw a fishing hook; equip Ammonite Pet
 * Condition 3)
 * When: You increase your collection; equip Squid Pet

Worm Fishing

 * Required item(s): Weapon with


 * And now we will get into the most known fishing money-making method, worm fishing. In order to worm fish, you would need to find a lava source in the crystal hollows above y=64 in the precursor remnants. After you found one, build a box around it and dig a two-block deep hole behind the place you will be fishing. After fishing up some flaming worms, you should kill the worms with a high-level enchant weapon to get the most drops from them. It is worth noticing that there’s a sea creature cap in the crystal hollows with 60 being the limit. Therefore, killing every 15~20 flaming worms would be ideal.

Yeti Fishing

 * Required item(s): ice/whale bait, auger rod, magic find setup


 * Yeti fishing is a kind of fishing that takes place on the jerry island. On the jerry island, you will fish up a lot of sea creatures that are very different from the ones you normally see while fishing on the main islands. For example, frozen Steve, Frosty the snowman, etc. One of these creatures stands out from all of them, which is the yeti. A yeti is a legendary sea creature that has roughly a 1/200 chance to be fished up. On killing yetis, they have a slight chance of dropping a baby yeti pet, and using a magic find setup can increase the chance of it dropping.


 * Also, keep in mind, the dolphin pet is better than the ammonite pet on the jerry island because you can stun Frosty the snowman when you fish them up and it is important because it does a lot of knock back to players in its shooting radius.

Spooky Fishing

 * Required item(s): spooky/whale bait, magic find setup


 * Spooky fishing can be done whenever the fear mongerer appears in the hub, which is one hour before the spooky festival to one hour after. During this period you can fish up some spooky sea creatures such as werewolves and scarecrows. Unlike normal sea creatures, they drop candy when killed. However, this isn’t the main source of money while spooky fishing. So there are these two sea creatures, the phantom fisher, and the grim reaper, both of these can have a chance to drop a deep sea orb. The grim reaper can also drop soul fragments, which are pretty high in price after the hound glitch was patched. The best location for spooky fishing is the spider’s den for the rain.

Shark Fishing

 * Required item(s): shark/whale bait, magic find setup


 * Shark fishing occurs at every fishing festival, which is on the first few days of the month when Marina is elected with the fishing festival perk, sometimes even foxy and jerry can have this perk. This kind of fishing is very similar to spooky fishing except that you don’t fish up grim reapers but great white sharks. This sea creature drops great white shark teeth and megalodon pets. Even though they are lower in price, shark fishing is still a good way to make money because of how often you fish up great white sharks.

Lava Fishing

 * Lava fishing is the least known fishing method because of how popular its variant, worm fishing, is compared to it. It was also considered the fishing method that makes the least money. You can do lava fishing by fishing in lava sources anywhere except for those you can fish up flaming worms in. Now you’ll fish up lava blazes and lava pigmen. Magma cores, which drop from lava blazes and pigmen, can sell for a decent amount on the auction house and aren't even that rare. For maximum efficiency, building a box like the worm fishing one would work too.


 * If you don’t want to gain heat while lava fishing, you could use a bal pet with a washed-up souvenir equipped. It may not be the best for or sea creature chance but the heat immunity it provides is very useful.

Rabbit Fishing

 * Required item(s): rabbit axe, carrot bait, magic find setup


 * Rabbit fishing is currently the only way to obtain lucky clover cores which are used to craft the lucky clover pet item that gives a huge boost in . It has a pretty high value on the auction house. Nonetheless, the drop rate of lucky clover cores is very low. The carrot king is the sea creature you want to fish up to get money.


 * The rabbit axe is often used to get more drops with its ability to triple the items dropped when killing a rabbit.
