Catch your first Pal
Follow the rod, bait, fish-shadow and minigame checks before chasing rarer rewards.
Prepare your equipment
Budget complete bait batches, choose an unlocked rod and match the party bonus to your actual problem.
- Make fishing bait: ten-item recipes and batch budgetsCraft Simple or High Quality Bait with the current ingredients and ten-item outputs, then choose a batch for manual fishing or your base pond.
- Fishing rods: Chillet, Cattiva, Pengullet and DepressoChoose an unlocked fishing rod, budget its materials and compare the Depresso schematic variant without confusing durability with catch probability.
- Best fishing Pals: choose a party for your actual problemChoose Jelliette for items, Gloopie for slower gauge loss and Whalaska for catch progress. Read skill rank before spending copies on condensation.
Choose your fishing route
Choose a location for your target, then distinguish Rainbow sparkles, Alpha sparkles and Lunker geysers.
- Fishing spots: choose a route for practice, Pals or lootUse a fishing map and current equipment prompts to choose a useful spot, with a separate plan for World Tree fishing and base-pond production.
- Fishing shadows: green sparkles, purple sparkles and Lunker geysersChoose fish shadows for Rainbow passives, Alpha Pals or Lunker, distinguish purple sparkles from a purple geyser, and check the caught Pal’s traits.
Produce at your base
Assign Handiwork, choose the pond pool and collect the caught Pal as well as the item rewards.
Read the version and source note on each guide. Your next step depends on the equipment, unlocks and objective in your save.
