Fishing is a game mechanic originally introduced in alpha version 0.1.7.0 and then greatly expanded in beta 0.2.0.1.

Fishing basics

To fish, you have to plant your Fishing Rod in place. Once you have done that you need to wait for the rod to bob up and down as if there is something tugging on the line. When this happens, click on the rod again to reel it in. High dexterity score helps in catching fish[1], but characters with the Fisherman feat will never fail to reel their catch in. Version 1.0.0.9 made fishing easier by increasing the chance to reel the fish in, especially for the dexterity-challenged.

You can cast your rod in any body of water. All waters in the release version, including sewage, have something to be fished. In addition to live catch, you can sometimes fish up random items. In the alpha versions, only Siphoner Pools yielded any catch.

Tools and feats

Fishing spots

Fish

Many medicine and poison blueprints use chemicals that can only be acquired by fishing.

Common fish are almost ubiquitous. Low worth.

Blue eels are notable for their gel electrolyte.

Uncommon fish are not much harder to find and catch than common ones.

Useful unique chemicals can be extracted from all of them.

  • Anglerfish: Junkyard (common), Silent Isle, Foundry, Lower Underrail caves
  • Black Dragon: Forsaken Island (common), Omega caves, Foundry, Junkyard, Hathor
  • Demon Squid: Lower Underrail caves B/C (common), Core City Sewers
  • Pentapus: uncommon catch in almost all waters
Rare fish are elusive, expensive and the hardest to catch.

All of these are commonly found in Deep Caverns.

  • Ghostface: Core City Sewers (rare)
  • Phantom Jelly: Lower Underrail caves
  • Shrimp: Forsaken Island (common), Silent Isle, Mushroom Cove
  • Walking Fish: Forsaken Island (common), Silent Isle (common), Camp Hathor
