Equipment
Before you can start fishing, you have to make sure you have the right gear. First thing you need is a fishing rod, which you can get from any fishing vendor for a pretty decent price. There are loads of different types of fishing rods, ranging from beginner to pro level. To start off, we suggest getting the Balenos Fishing Rod, which is a great all-around choice for beginners. You can even enhance it with Black Stones to make it even better!
In addition to a fishing rod, you will need bait. The type of bait you use will depend on the fish you are trying to catch. You can buy bait from any fishing vendor, or you can craft it yourself by gathering materials around the world.

There’s also an extremely rare type of fish called Mythic Fish. These fish can be sold for a high price on the marketplace, making them a great way to earn silver.
Bait
Bait is something that you can acquire by getting fishing tokens and trading them in for paste which can be used as bait.
