New Activity: Fishing
Cast aside your weapon, weary adventurer, you’ve sent enough demons home to wriggle in the Hells today.
Starting at Level 43, you can travel to the noxious marshes of Bilefen to begin The Greatest Pastime quest. This quest will start you on your path to becoming the best angler Sanctuary has seen, and most importantly, provide you with a fishing rod.
Pick Your Spot, Cast a Line
Once you’ve completed the introductory quest, you can oh-fish-ially begin your pursuit of Sanctuary’s underwater dwellers. There are 3 designated Fishing spots in Sanctuary (Ashwold Cemetery, Bilefen, and the Frozen Tundra), and are notated by a fish icon in the Zone map. Fishing areas are safe zones, and you cannot be attacked by monsters while inside of them.
Before you attempt to catch any fish, you’ll want to visit a Fisher to purchase some bait. Each attempt at Fishing will consume one piece of bait. Only 200 pieces of bait can be purchased each day from a Fisher, and you can hold 100 pieces in your inventory at a time, so budget your bait wisely.
Once you have your rod, some bait, and a favorite watering hole in mind, it’s time to wrangle up some fish. By tapping or clicking on the Rod icon next to your Skill buttons, you’ll choose specifically where within the Fishing spot to cast your line. After releasing the button, a timer will appear at the top of your screen, displaying white, blue, and gold colored fish icons.
As your bobber rests among the water, fish will nibble at it periodically and you’ll notice the timer will slowly begin to fill up, passing by each of the three aforementioned fish icons as it does. When you decide to reel in a catch is completely up to you, but the longer you allow your bobber to sit in the water, the higher probability you have of catching a rarer species of fish. Be sure not to deliberate over when to reel in for too long…if the timer fills up, the fish will grow restless and disappear. All caught fish will go directly into your inventory.
Reel and Deal
After you’ve reeled in a handful of fish, head back over to the nearest Fisher to exchange your hard-caught fish for rewards. There are five categories of fish: Common, Uncommon, Rare, Legendary, and Mythic, each denoted by a different coloring of the fish within your inventory. The rarer the fish, the greater the rewards you can exchange your catch for, such as items of random rarity and new aesthetics for your fishing rod.
Fill Out the Angler’s Log
There are 40 unique species of fish populating the waterways of Sanctuary. Within the Bestiary Angler’s Log section is an entry for each fish species, along with the number you’ve caught, the highest weight caught by you, and the highest weight caught on your server. There’s also Angler’s Log rewards for dedicated adventures to collect by catching amounts of unique fish species.
Fishing presents a new way to play Diablo Immortal and experience Sanctuary. Where might your pursuit take you?
