Fishing
Fishing is a gameplay mechanic that allows players to catch fish and other items from bodies of water throughout Embervale. Use a fishing rod with bait at any body of water (including player-made ponds at your base) and left click to cast and begin fishing. Upon a successful catch, players may obtain fish or other items, determined by the location and the bait used. Fishing was introduced in the Wake Of Water Update.
Fishing Mechanics
The Hunter's quest Unknown Waters serves as an introductory tutorial for fishing.
How to Fish
Collect insects or frogs to use as Bait, or craft your own. Simple Fishing Bait
is made through Manual Crafting, while higher tier Fishing Baits are crafted by the Fisher. Once collected, Fishing Bait can be equipped through your inventory.
Approach any body of water and cast the Fishing Rod (hold the left mouse button by default).
Wait until a fish or other item is hooked.
If a fish is hooked, you will be prompted to reel it in (left mouse button by default). Move the Fishing Rod in the direction opposite the fish (either A or D key by default) until the fish's stamina reaches zero (the red bar is depleted). You will then be prompted to land the fish (left mouse button by default). The fish will get away if your stamina reaches zero first (the green bar is depleted).
If any other item is hooked, you will be prompted to land it without needing to reel it in.
Fishing Rods
Fishing Rods are required to fish. Each rod has two stats: Fishing Strength determines how quickly the fish's stamina (the red bar) is depleted when reeling in the fish, while Fishing Endurance determines how quickly your stamina (the green bar) is depleted.
Each rod also has two additional hidden stats: The Wet Boot Weight determines how often you will land a Wet Boot , while the Other Items weight determines how often you will land items other than fish or the Wet Boot (see below for the full list).
There are currently 5 available fishing rods.
Fishing Pole | Fishing Strength (Displayed) | Fishing Strength (Datamined) | Fishing Endurance (Datamined) | Wet Boot Weight (Hidden / Datamined) | Other Items Weight (Hidden / Datamined) | Obtained By |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 | + 1 | + 1.0 | + 30 | 2.0 | 1.0 | Manual Crafting |
 | + 2 | + 1.8 | + 40 | 5.0 | 4.0 | Reward from |
 | + 2 | + 2.0 | + 45 | 1.5 | 2.0 | Recipe unlocked by crafting Iron Bars  |
 | + 3 | + 2.5 | + 50 | 0.5 | 4.0 | Obtained during Lucky Catch then can be crafted at the Fisher |
 | + 3 | + 2.5 | + 55 | 1.0 | 2.5 | Obtained during Nice Day For Fishing then can be crafted at the Fisher |
Fishing Bait
You must have Fishing Bait equipped to cast the Fishing Rod. Either collect insects or frogs to use as Fishing Bait, or craft your own. Simple Fishing Bait is made through Manual Crafting, while higher tier Fishing Baits are crafted by the Fisher.
Bait no longer dictates the specific species of fish caught (which is determined by the Fishing Location), but instead determines the non-fish items pulled from the Trash Loot Pool.
Fishing Locations & Catch Rates
The types and rarity of fish caught depend on the specific fishing spot location and its tier within a biome, rather than the equipped bait.
