The Deep Gives Up Its Secrets — Fishing Returns to Elythia

The waters around Elythia have stirred. Where once the tide lay quiet, something now answers the line — and it is rarely a humble fish. Monster fishing has been re-added to the realm, and the brave are invited to test their luck against whatever rises from the depths.

Casting Your Line

The craft is simple, the rewards are not. Arm yourself with a fishing rod and a good supply of worms for bait, find the open water, and cast. Your line will keep working the water on its own — reeling in catch after catch — until you step away or your bait runs dry. Keep your boots planted and your worm-pouch full, and the sea will keep answering.

What Lurks Beneath

This is no idle pastime. The creatures you haul up must be fought — and what you can land depends on both your character level and your fishing skill. Novices will pull up crabs, calamaries and jellyfish. As your skill deepens, so too do your catches: sharks, ice golems, the warriors and tyrants of the deeplings, and the great sea serpents that coil in the dark beneath the waves.

Legends From the Abyss

And for those with the skill, the patience, and the nerve — the abyss holds monsters of legend. The Crystal Guardian, the formless Puddle, Poseidon's Kiss, the Deepsea Shock Absorber, and the dreaded Deepsea Dragon Matron all wait at the very bottom of the catch. Reel one of these horrors to the surface and the whole realm will hear of it. Few will ever see them. Fewer still will live to tell the tale.

A Word to the Wise

Train your fishing skill, hoard your worms, and study what swims at each depth before you wade in over your head — a serpent does not care that you only meant to catch supper. Consult the Fishing Guide here on the site to learn what waits at every level.

The sea has been patient. It has been waiting for you. Cast your line — and see what answers.
