How to Fish

Slot in Fishing Rod and Bait

Fishing is an activity in Throne and Liberty that you can do to gather seafood ingredients from viable bodies of water for cooking recipes.

To start fishing, go to the Character Info menu from the Main Menu and equip a Fishing Rod and the Bait of your choice, depending on what type of fish you're trying to lure out.

Equip Fishing Rod and Cast Float

Once you have a Rod and Bait slotted in, go near a body of water, then click on the Fishing Rod icon above your Quick Slots, or press the assigned shortcut, to equip it.

After equipping a Fishing Rod, aim your cursor along the water until the light turns blue, then press the indicated button to cast out your line.

Pull Fish Up to Drain Its HP

Shortly after casting out your line, you should see a prompt once a fish takes your bait to Snap up your line. Hold down the indicated button to start draining the Fish's HP, and deplete its HP to successfully catch the fish.

Pull Opposite of Fish's Swimming Direction

As you are pulling at a fish, it will try swimming either left or right to escape. Hold down the buttons to Drag Left or Right to pull the Rod away from the direction the fish is swimming, or else it will escape.

Your stamina will run out if you keep holding the Snap up and Drag buttons, so make sure to periodically stop pulling your Rod so that your Stamina can recharge and you can keep draining the fish's HP.

Raise Fishing Level to Make Fishing Easier

Successful fishing attempts will grant you Fishing EXP to level up your Fishing Level. The higher your Fishing Level, the easier reeling in fish will become.
