Fishing is one of the most boring parts of playing Trove, however it can be very essential for players to both unlock Dragons as well as gain extra Mastery.
Players will have the ability to fish in Water, Lava, Chocolate and Plasma, though players will need different fishing rods in order to be able to fish in all of the locations.
The following guide will take you through everything you need to know about Fishing and what Fish you can obtain in Trove.
FISHING POLES
There are a number of Fishing Poles players can unlock while playing Trove, though the reality is that only 5 of them are actually useful for players to unlock, otherwise the others will just help a player increase their mastery and will provide them with extra cosmetics.
The following are all of the Fishing Poles players can unlock, what they do and how to obtain them:
BASIC FISHING POLE
The Basic Fishing Pole is the first Fishing Rod players will be able to obtain in Trove.
The Basic Fishing Pole can be bought in the Hub from Saltwater Sam for 200 Glim and allows players to fish in Water, not including Water in the Club World.
Players will be happy to note that they will also be able to purchase the Basic Fishing Pole from Saltwater Sam in any of the Drowned Worlds once they spawn in, just in case they are having difficulty finding Saltwater Sam in the Hub.
MOLTEN MAGMA SIFTER
The Molten Magma Sifter is a Fishing Pole that players can craft in the Nautical Assembler using the following items:
3 Ancient Scales
50 Primordial Flame
100 Shapestone Ore
The Molten Magma Sifter is quite essential as it will allow players to begin fishing in Lava.
CANDIED FISHING CANE
The Candied Fishing Cane is a Fishing Pole that players can craft in the Nautical Assembler using the following items:
5 Ancient Scales
100 Wild Cupcakes
150 Shapestone Ore
The Candied Fishing Cane is quite essential as it will allow players to begin fishing in Chocolate.
LADY OF THE LAKE
The Lady of the Lake is a Fishing Pole that players can craft in the Nautical Assembler using the following items:
5 Ancient Scales
50 Infinium Ore
500 Flux
The Lady of the Lake is quite essential as it will allow players to obtain Enchanted Fish while fishing.
WISH FISHER
The Wish Fisher is a Fishing Pole that players can obtain simply by fishing.
Players have a small chance to collect this gorgeous Fishing Rod when fishing in any type of block.
Unfortunately this Fishing Pole is only for the cosmetics.
N-0 DEPTH SCOPER
The N-0 Depth Scoper is a Fishing Pole that players can craft in the Nautical Assembler using the following items:
4 Ancient Scales
50 Primordial Flame
100 Shapestone Ore
The N-0 Depth Scoper is quite essential as it will allow players to begin fishing in Plasma.
MASTERY ANGLER’S ROD
The Mastery Angler’s Rod is obtained when players reach Mastery Rank 120.
The Mastery Angler’s Rod is purely for cosmetics.
ROYAL REELER
The Royal Reeler is another Fishing Rod players can obtain through Mastery, though players will only be able to obtain it at Mastery 470.
The Royal Reeler is purely for cosmetics.
FRENZIED FISHER
The Frenzied Fisher is for those players who take fishing extremely seriously at it can be obtained from fishing a total of 2,000 fish.
The Frenzied Fisher is purely for cosmetics.
CHAOS ROD
The Chaos Rod is a fishing rod that players will have to obtain in the Shadowy Market.
Players will need to turn in 5 Hearts of Darkness in order to redeem it.
The Chaos Rod is purely cosmetic.
HOW TO FISH
In order to begin fishing, players will have to start by purchasing a number of lures, which can also be purchased from Saltwater Sam.
Lures will cost 10 Glim each and simply need to be in a player’s inventory for a player to use them.
With Lures in a player’s inventory and a Fishing Rod equipped players will only need to use their “F” key on PC and “X” button on Xbox in order to cast their fishing line.
Players will have to wait between 20-30 seconds before their bobble will splash essentially letting the player know that a fish has caught.
Players must then re-initiate their fishing key in order to reel in their fish.
Players will need to ensure that they catch a fish within a few seconds of their bobble bobbing as if they do not reel in the fish fast enough they will lose their lure.
Losing a Lure is not the biggest problem due to how cheap they are to purchase, however, players will want to try to avoid it as much as possible as to not waste time or resources.
CONDITIONS WHERE A PLAYER CANNOT FISH
If a player has no Lures
If a players do not have their fishing pole equipped
The player is currently underwater
The player is currently on a moving boat
The player is attempting to fish in a liquid that they cannot fish in due to not having the rod that is applicable unlocked. That being said, a player can still use another rod aesthetically if they have all the rods unlocked.
FISH A PLAYER CAN OBTAIN
When it comes to obtaining fish players have the following chance to collect each type:
70% chance for a Common
20% chance for an Uncommon
1% chance for a Rare or Enchanted
2.5% chance for an Old Boot or Ancient Boot
There is also a chance to collect the Wish Fisher, though this chance is unknown.
Players will also have a chance to collect Bubble Dragon Egg Fragments which can be used to craft Sarsaponia, the Pristine.
