Trove fishing

Fishing is a gameplay mechanic that allows players to obtain resources and gain Mastery points through means of fishing in different liquid blocks and locations. Players can currently fish in water, lava, chocolate and plasma.

Getting Started[]

For players to start fishing, they need to have a Fishing Pole and Lures, both of which can be bought from the NPC Saltwater Sam. A Basic Fishing Pole costs 200 Glim, while lures cost 10 Glim each. Sam is located at the pirate area of the Hub World, northwest of the spawn point. Players can only fish when they have a fishing pole equipped and lures in their inventory. Not having any lures will not let the player cast, producing the message "You cannot fish without a lure". 

Please note that you must left click a lure in your inventory, which gives 100 charges of the fishing lure buff to fish. Otherwise, the only possible catches are Old Boot and Ancient Boot.

Special rods can be crafted at the Nautical Assembler to the left and right of Saltwater Sam. These rods unlock fishing in different liquids, as well as allowing the player to catch different rare fish.

After getting the necessary materials, players need to cast their lure on any liquid blocks by pushing the fishing key (F by default on PC, X on Xbox). Holding the key will display a trajectory of where the lure will land after releasing the button. Lures that don't land in an unlocked liquid will not be consumed.

Players must wait for:

  • ( pool ) 11-13 seconds for the lure to start splashing in order to reel in a fish
  • ( school of fish ) 8-10 seconds for the lure to start splashing in order to reel in a fish

and will have 5 seconds to press the fishing key again to catch it. Sometimes, the player catches an Old Boot, Ancient Boot or other item instead. Missing a fish will cause the lure to be consumed. Lures will be consumed if the player reels in too soon.

Players are not able to fish under the following conditions:

  • The player has no lures.
  • The player has no fishing pole equipped.
  • The player is underwater.
  • The player is on a moving boat.
  • The player hasn't collected a pole that can fish in that liquid. ("Regretful Water" from the Sea of Regret is different from normal water.)

There are several other fishing rods that are cosmetic and have no effect on fishing, though they may give Mastery points. Changing your fishing pole also changes the appearance of the bobber.

Fish[]

There are four kinds of fish: Common, Uncommon and Rare, and Enchanted. Once a player catches a fish, it must be Loot Collected to get resources from it.

Every fish caught has a weight, which determines whether they are average or "Trophy Size" fish. Trophy fish give a placeable Wall Trophy in addition to the normal loot, in Bronze, Silver and Gold variants.

Though the exact rates are unknown, these are the approximate rates of catching some fish and items:

  • 70% Common
  • 20% Uncommon
  • 1% Rare/Enchanted
  • 2.5% Old Boot

There is only 1 rare fish for any location. Players must move to find a different rare fish. (Locations here)

Enchanted Fish are rare fish that are caught instead while the Lady of the Lake pole is equipped.

Thanks to player Svenskeren, a table of fishing chances can be found here.[1] This table does not include the chances for obtaining Old Boots, Ancient Boots or the Wish Fisher.

Glim

Rewards[]

Through fishing, players can gain Glim, along with various other resources including Flux, Blank Scrolls, Radiant Shards, Shapestone Ore, Primordial Flames and more. Every fish gives a certain amount of Glim, and Uncommon fish give resources as well. Every rare fish gives 1,000 Glim and 1 Ancient Scale. Enchanted fish give 1,000 Glim and 1 Enchanted Scale. Ancient Scales are used to craft new fishing poles and boats, and both scales can craft a unique jellyfish mount.

Fishing gives a large amount of Glim, allowing you to keep fishing indefinitely. The Glim earned from fishing with a large amount of lures is about triple the initial price of the lures.

The first time a player Loot Collects a new kind of fish, it will be added to their collection, granting Mastery points (5 points for Common fish, 10 points for Uncommon fish, and 25 points for Rare and Enchanted fish).

While fishing at any location, players have a 1 in 10,000 chance of catching the Wish Fisher, a cosmetic fishing rod.

Fishing in water has a chance to yield Bubble Dragon Egg Fragments, which can be used to craft Sarsaponia, the Pristine at the Dragon Crucible.
