How to Fish in Core Keeper 1.0

 

Finding the Rod

 

     Before you cast your line, you’ll need a fishing rod. Don’t worry if you don’t have one yet—exploring the underground can surprise you with finds.

 

     Alternative, if you already have Copper Workbench. Interact with it and spend 5 Wood to craft a simple Fishing Rod.

 

    

     Wood Fishing Rods are basic but handy, offering +21 fishing and a durability of 50. For something with a bit more oomph, craft a Tin Fishing Rod, which boosts your fishing.

 

 

Casting and Reeling

 

     Place the rod in your hotbar, find a body of water. Approach the water, equip your rod, and cast your line holding Right Mouse Button action button.

 

    

     If the bobber doesn’t land in the water, don’t fret—your character will reel it back in. But if it lands successfully, wait for the "bloop" sound, which signals a bite.

 

    

     Hit the secondary action button again to start reeling in. Keep the fish indicator in the green by holding the button when it’s in color and releasing when it turns red to avoid snapping the line.

 

    

 

Rods, Baits, and Perks

 

     Fishing in Core Keeper is all about upgrading your gear. Start with the Wood Fishing Rod and move up through the Tin, Iron, Scarlet, Octarine, and Galaxite Fishing Rods. Each offers better fishing bonuses and durability, so aim for the highest-tier rod you can manage. Baits can also give you a significant edge. From Spicy Bait that speeds up bites to Purple Bait that increases the chance of catching rare fish, using the right bait can turn a good fishing day into a great one.

 

    

     For even more advantages, equip special fishing gear like the Sea Foam Ring (+51 fishing) or the Scuba Fins (+8% chance to catch fish). These items can be found in various biomes or purchased from the Fishing Merchant, who’s accessible after defeating Azeos The Sky Titan.

 

 

Skills and Talents

 

     Each time you fish, you gain experience, which contributes to unlocking talents. Talents like Angler's Advantage and Fisherman’s Luck can enhance your fishing efficiency, making it easier to catch fish and items. The more you fish, the better you’ll get, and soon you’ll be reeling in the rarest catches with ease.

 

    

 

Fishing Locations

 

     Different biomes offer unique fish and items, so knowing where to fish is key. The Underground, Clay Caves, and Forgotten Ruins each have their own set of catches. For example, in the Sunken Sea, you might hook a Bottom Tracer that boosts mining damage or a Golden Dart for increased critical hit chance. Explore different biomes to discover the best fishing spots and what treasures they hold.

 

    

     Fishing in Core Keeper 1.0 is a rewarding way to gather resources, level up, and find rare items. Equip the best rod you can, use effective baits, and keep an eye on your fishing skills to make the most out of your angling adventures. With this guide, you’re all set to dive in and reel in some amazing catches.
