The fishing system of this work is very different from previous works in the operation. It is no longer a fishing method such as fish shadows or continuous shooting. Instead, an endurance value system is adopted. You can understand this aspect quickly after you get started and practice it. I won’t explain too much here.
Fishing place
The first concept to be understood is that the fish that can be caught in each area of the game are different, and players who have played past works in the past should know it.
So you must first understand which fishing areas are divided into in the game, so that it will be clearer when collecting illustrations and fishing targeted fish.
The following picture shows all fifteen fishing places in the game, so please get familiar with it first.
Q: How to increase the quality of fish caught?
A: Improve the fishing skill levels when reaching LV2/LV5/LV8 respectively, and permanently improve the quality of the fish; upgrade the fishing rod.
Q: Why can't I catch XXX fish?
A: Whether a certain fish can be caught is related to the quality, area and season of the fishing rod. Some fish still have to be caught at a specific time. The main fish are even related to the weather. If you really can't catch a certain fish, it is recommended to use bait to snipe.
Q: What's the use of upgrading a fishing rod?
A: Most fish can be fully caught with silver-level fishing rods, but if you want to catch treasures and fish owners, you must upgrade to gold level. The mountain copper-grade fishing rod can catch very valuable aurora fish, and the 0-star selling price is 2,000G. In addition, more advanced fishing rods have more endurance values, making it easier for you to catch difficult fish.
Next, let's take a look at what fish can be caught in each area.
Scenarios of various fishing places
Puddle/Pool
First of all, there are the most common puddles and pools in the entire area of the pasture. 100% of the puddles catch crayfish, and 100% of the pool catch three fish in Zhuxing. All seasons are available, and you can catch fishing rods above the primary level.

Challenge of Seven Fish Owners
In addition to the above ordinary fish, there are seven main types of fish that can be caught, namely Mekong giant catfish, giant grouper, Marlin, Nass harrier, Emperor crab, halibut, and king squid.
But it is very difficult, so it is recommended to use the main fish bait and raise the fishing rod to the mountain copper level.
The conditions and locations of each fish owner are indicated in the figure below for your reference.
