Fishing Overhaul: The Unlisted Changes

The 0.218.0 update introduced a massive fishing rework (Fishing Skill 2.0). v0.218.15a acts as the net that catches the fish that got away. Pike Aggression: Previously, Pikes in the Meadows rivers

  • Pike Aggression: Previously, Pikes in the Meadows rivers were passive. Now, they actively bite within 5 seconds of casting, fixing complaints that fishing was "boring."
  • Troll Fish Spawns: The rare Trollfish (found in Black Forest caves) now has a 5% spawn rate up from 2%. However, its stamina drain while reeling has been increased by 40%, making it a true boss fight for anglers.
  • Fishing Rod Durability: The basic Fishing Rod durability increased from 50 to 70. The Ashlands Rod durability decreased from 120 to 100, balancing the endgame fishing meta.
