How to Craft a Fishing Rod in Palworld
Before players can start fishing inPalworld, they’ll first need to craft their very own Fishing Rod. There are currentlythree different types of Fishing Rods available, each becoming progressively more effective at catching both Pals and valuable resources while fishing. All Fishing Rods can becrafted at a Production Assembly Line.
Here’s a quick breakdown of each Fishing Rod and the materials required to craft them:
Players will also need tocraft Bait, which can be made on a Primitive Workbench, High Quality Workbench, or the Production Assembly Line. Players will unlock Simple Bait when unlocking the Beginner Fishing Set. However, to make fishing easier, players can also unlock additional Baits. Here is a breakdown of all the types of Bait players can get inPalworld:
How to Fish in Palworld
Once players have gotten hold of a Fishing Rod and Bait, they can begin fishing to capture Pals. To fish inPalworld, players need to locate fishing spots, which are indicated bythe shadows of fish in bodies of water. These shadows can appear in virtually any body of water across all regions in the game. Once a fishing spot has been found, players canpress the Cast button to cast their line into the water.Doing so will consume one bait.
From there, players mustwait for two exclamation marks to appear.Once that happens, they can press the same button to reel in their catch. This triggers a short minigame, where the goal is to fill a capture gauge bykeeping a golden fish icon overlapping with a green bar, which players can control by holding and releasing the Pull Lure button. The size of the green bar will vary depending on the type of bait the player is using.
Once the bar is filled, the minigame is complete, and the player will capture a random Pal. The Pal received is completely dependent on the region players are fishing in, but players can get an idea of the rarity based on the visual effects given off by the fish shadows beforehand:
For players looking to fish from the comfort of their own base, they canalso build a Fishing Pond. Fishing Ponds can vary in size, with each one providing the opportunity to catch larger Pals. Here is a breakdown of the Fishing Ponds players can get inPalworld:
How to Collect Salvage in Palworld
On top of capturing Pals, players can alsouse their Fishing Rod to salvage resourcesat sea. To do this, players must head out onto the water and locate salvage spots, which appear as pieces of wreckage floating in the ocean. To salvage, players willneed a Water Mount and a Fishing Rod.Some salvage spots may also require a Powerful Fishing Magnet, which is unlocked at Level 61 andcrafted using one Hexolite.
Once a salvage spot has been located, players can interact with it by pressing their interaction key. This will trigger a mini-game, where players muststop a green bar on a yellow lineto complete it successfully. If successful, they’ll be rewarded with random resources.
