Workbench and materials
At the workbench, you turn fish into materials and materials into better gear.
Where and how
The workbench is in front of the fisher’s hut. Walk there and press U, or pick it in the ⋯ menu. On a phone, tap it.
Salvaging
- Fish from your bucket become materials: 14 kinds, from carp scale and trout fin to dragon scale and star dust.
- The workbench shows where a material comes from. Tap it. You fish at different places, times and in different weather for them.
- Crayfish only come from traps.
The game asks again before salvaging a shiny fish.
Material bag
Materials live in their own bag and need no backpack space. Up to 999 of each kind fit in.
Gear parts
- ⚙️ Reel (8 tiers): more pulling power in the fight.
- 🧵 Line (8 tiers): holds more tension and tires later.
- 🪝 Hook (6 tiers): a longer strike window.
- 🔴 Float (5 tiers): nibbles and bites are easier to tell apart.
- 🥅 Landing net (5 tiers): sometimes saves the fish after a line snap.
The first two tiers of every part cost only a fraction. All bonuses are capped – skill still counts in the fight.
Crafting bait and the trade shelf
- You craft bait of tiers II to V from materials – from certain fishing levels on.
- The trade shelf turns lots of common stuff into something rare, such as legend scales.
