How to catch fish in Fae Farm
If you follow the in-game tutorial quests, you'll meet Eddy the Mariner, the local fishing expert, within your first few days in Azoria.
Eddy will give you a fishing rod to practise with. To fish successfully in Fae Farm, follow these instructions:
- Scroll your tool wheel until you have the fishing rod selected
- Hold left-click and let go to release
- When a fish is near left-click to jiggle the line
- Repeat this process until a fish takes notice and advances to the rod
- When a fish bites, hold left-click
- Let go when the line appears red
- Left-click and hold again when the line goes back to white
- Repeat this process until you've reeled in the fish
- If you hold left-click when the line is red, you'll lose the fish
If during your time fishing you start to run out of energy, you can consume any cooked food to replenish your energy bar or collect any of the green orbs scattered around town.
These green orbs are little currents of energy that can help replenish your bar when interacted with.
