But how does fishing work in Palworld, and what changes does the fishing update bring to the game? We’ve outlined some of the main things you need to know in our guide today to help you prepare for this new fishy opportunity.

When Was Fishing Introduced in Palworld?

If you’re a Palworld veteran, you’ll probably be wondering: when was fishing introduced, anyway? Indeed, fishing hasn’t always been a feature in the game, and it’s actually a very recent addition with the new update: Tides of Terraria, a crossover update introducing several Terraria-inspired items into the game. .As such, whether you’re just getting started with Palworld or if you’re returning and unsure about how the new fishing feature works, it’s well worth learning more about it.

How to Fish in Palworld

So, how does fishing work in the new Palworld update, anyway? Well, fishing in Palworld is fortunately pretty simple, and keeping this in mind could help when it comes to your own exploration of the world. Before you can head out on the waters, you’ll first need to craft a fishing rod, which becomes available after building a High Quality Workbench (or better). Bear in mind here that different level fishing rods require different types of workbenches, with intermediate and advanced rods needing a Production Assmbly Line I and II, respectively. Make sure you also craft bait; there are several different types you can make, with each type having slightly different features.

Once your fishing rod and bait are both equipped, all that’s left to do is find a body of water—this could be a lake, coastal shoreline, or riverbank - and stand by the edge. Make sure the water has fish shadows in it; if there aren’t any shadows below the water, you won’t be able to catch any Pals in this area! Then, once you’re confident there are fish waiting for you in water, simply cast your line and wait. You’ll need to watch for subtle bobbing or ripples to signal a bite; then, once you notice that a fish has latched onto your reel, quickly reel it back. Doing so will trigger the fishing minigame to start, where you’ll need to keep the golden fish icon within your green fishing bar to reel it all the way in. Be careful - if the fish is outside of your fishing bar for too long, it’ll get away! This can be especially tricky if your game is prone to lagging - so, make sure your game’s running on a private ScalaCube Palworld dedicated server. A successfully caught Pal will always be a water type, but it may have additional types as well that could make it more versatile for your team.

Cheating the System with a Fishing Pond

If you’re tired of searching for a water course that has Pals in it, you could instead build a fishing pond on your property. Fishing Ponds can be unlocked through the Tech menu, and this allows you to set presets for the fish that spawn, including size. Better yet, your Handiwork Pals can also fish for you in the Fishing Pond, further simplifying the process of catching water type Pals.

What Can I Catch by Fishing in Palworld?

When fishing, you can potentially get a couple of different items. Of course, most people are hoping to get Pals from their fishing efforts; however, you may also get crafting resources from the water, making this well worth keeping in mind.

There are countless different Pals you can catch by Fishing in Palworld, including the following: Small Fish Pals: Pengullet, Peking, Killamari, Celaray, Azurobe, Jelliette, Croajiro, Fuack, Jellroy, and Turtacle.

And don’t forget - if a shadow is too far away to reach, you can always ride a water pal to get closer.
