videolytics dcom is great for trying to see which fish table you're in sadly this map doesn't have the newer fish added on the list but it still shows where most of the fish can be found while you're searching for the new prize grade fish Now using things like the new fish data Google sheet to find the newer fish can help where and how much you can make knowing which fish can be found there's even sections on useful information like fish groups builds and much more just these two resources alone should be a go-to for anyone

looking to start fishing and those veterans looking to make Bank links will be down below for those who needing them and I highly suggest taking a look at them continuing on with the fishing spots we have tip number three which is be careful where you fish when searching word of fish it can be extremely hard to pass up every guide pointing to the one location but remember you're not the only one with the same idea and an area can easily and quickly become low to exhausted meaning it will take longer to catch fish resulting in

lower money to be made make sure to explore the fish maps and see if there's any locations to fish at another thing to be careful for is being killed by other players one way to avoid being killed by other players is to use a character level 49 or under once you hit Level 50 you will be murdered on site by any other player looking to kill someone but this can be avoided if you're on a season Channel boats however can still be blown up oh yeah and fun fact once you die you lose a portion

of the fish collected so find an unpopular spot or use a Lobby when choosing a spot to fish at and always be careful where you fish it's time for for leveling tips for the newer players or those that just want to hit Guru sooner leveling fishing is extremely easy and because fishing level unlocks a lot like the choice of rods number of hotspots seene and even durability tip number four is use as many long life experience Buffs Buffs that can provide life or fishing experience for long periods of time like 30 minutes or more is

perfect with not needing to keep being reapplied thus losing money and the buff items for other activities using either the seafood cron meal the B Al or marvelous BX meal Book of Life trans here from the fer Quest and we can't forget about the mercenaries life using a full Crystal preset with all life experience is going to be the best bet for trying to power level artifacts light Stone combinations and life pets are perfect for longer durations fairies with A continuous care skill are able to keep the Buffs ongoing while you're afking too as for

power leveling perfect way is with trading in all the grades of fish so tip number five is don't filter your fish even though the green and blue grade fish won't make as much money as the yellow and red grades selling the lower grade fish might be the easiest way to level fishing and trading at the same time for those looking to make the quickest turn in trading in your fish to the closest trade manager will keep you fishing faster while taking the fish out to the furthest trade manager will increase the amount of experience at

the tradeoff of the time needed to travel but remember you want as many greens and blues since they have the highest catch chances you can't mention power leveling without mentioning the season channels so tip number six is abuse the new seasons what do I mean by this simple while playing the season character you're unable to do open world PVP allowing you to fish Untouched by other players anywhere while on the season channels this is great for those wanting to collect the goodies from the season pass and Quest but still wanting to level fishing the last

reason to fish on the season channels after finishing the season pass is with the increased life skill experience for the season channels up to 100 or more depending on what pear Abyss decides but if uses season channels as much as possible the last tip about leveling fishing is going to be tip number seven use your bottles while out there fishing you'll quickly start stockpiling discarded glass bottles while these are tempted to use solely on the sturdy Creo fishing chair turning the bottles in for the fishing and contribution experience is a great way to start leveling

fishing early on while you AFK fish places like the RW sea or Mia fish table have a higher drop chance of the bottles which can lead to leveling your fishing easier or contribution so after buying the Creos chairs you expect to use don't be afraid to get some easy fishing experience or contribution at the same time we can't fish without gear so I thought of a couple good tips just for gear tip number eight is not all gear is made the same sure fishing can be done wearing almost anything not all the gear is meant

to do all or what you even want full logia clothes and accessories are perfect for starters looking for the prized fish while wearing full try and tet Manos is going to be the best in slot for the prized fish at the moment wearing silver embroidered Fisher clothes is the best way to level with the plus three being the easiest to enhance and the plus4 being the best in slot before needing to invest a lot into a plus 5 avoid using the free clothes that are handed out when leveling your fishing because a silver embroidered can

easily be crafted or bought from the Central Market not to mention these also provide more bonuses to help leveling faster keeping up with the gear tip number nine is ignore the Splat other than how the costume looks there's no reason to buy the Splat fishing costume the same plus one fishing can be found on pets and being in a guild alone with the art of fishing will give plus one to fishing level for Max plus three to fishing for those who still don't know fishing doesn't refer to the level of fishing but fishing reduces the

autofish time with plus five reducing Auto fish Time by 50% instead of the Splat costume simply using an equipment tailoring coupon on a professional Fisher clothes which can be found in any luxury vendor has more bonuses for Less pearls to no pearls being spent toring coupons are given out during event sometimes the trading family Fame Quest gave one free coupon and these can be bought off the Central Market two three is always better moving on to the next tip is number 10 get Max AFK fishing early while the investment might seem a little daunting at

first maxing out how fast you can AFK fish can help level or make money while you do not nothing maxing out your auto fishing is extremely easy and can be done with plus 10 Bonos fishing rod branded with the item brandstone the nibbles light Stone combination and at least a T4 or T5 fishing pet a sturdy Creos fishing chair can also be used having Mastery and a little more Auto time reduction if you're not at cap yet but the green grade chair is more than enough if you're at cap with only having the 100 Mastery

and can be crafted at any level three carpentry Workshop if crafting is not your thing these can also be bought off the Central Market too speaking of fishing rods rods and LS are key with tip number 11 certain rods and even the ls will change the results of each fishing trip you take while the balanos rod is perfect for AFK fishing the media rod and maple float are perfect for catching a yellow grade fish the aaria rod is perfect for Hotspot fishing but the Calon rod and Ash float is perfect for leveling with catching more

of the blue gray fish for those looking to increase their silver made or chances of catching a prize grade fish can turn to the triple float rod with having a small chance of catching at least plus three extra fish recently added to the Pearl shop for a limited time is the grandpa Cron's fishing rod which combines the max AFK fishing time and the triple float rods chance to catch plus three extra fish this Rod however is a limited time event Pearl item so I'm not sure if this will be added back in at a future

later date but at the moment if you do have this Rod this is going to be the best fishing rod in the game it's worth mentioning while not confirmed and All Pure speculation as of recording this that while fishing has 100% chance to pull from all the tables increasing the chances of either big rare or prize catch chance lowers the others or just to make this more easier to understand think about the groups like a pie the more you increase the rare patch chance the more you'll have to remove from the other slices like big

fish or the rare fish catch chance ideally you'd want to choose either rare catch chance for more silver in spots with no Reds big fish for more experience and lastly no chance increase for prize but remember this is all pure speculation more information can be found on the fish data sheet that I have linked down in the description below and while you're down there comment if you've been able to confirm how true this can be I've been fishing with both and while I want to say I can see a change I'm just a casual Fisher

and I'm not exactly making spreadsheets as for tip number 12 max out durability reduction durability reduction resist is huge when it comes to fishing with being able to increase the chance of not using a durability when using a fishing rod or lore or just any gear getting more durability reduction resist can be done several ways like with Guru fishing item brandstone the light Stone combination blacksmith blessing outfit effects for the weapon skins durability reduction resist pets like the Azure dragon is perfect for being able to come with autof fishing time reduction and the durability resist

as a talent not to mention it can be made into a pit captain and lastly we have the otter carrier using all of these will reduce how many times a gear needs to be repaired or how long certain rods and LS can be used like the triple float rod or the grandpa kon's fishing rod just having the gear and the spot is just the beginning now it's time to help start making billions so I have a couple tips to help increase the money made or reduce the weight your profits are cut into starting off with

the money tip is number 13 fish trading Was Made Simple before active trading was removed the last time fish were treated like trade crates not being able to be teleported in the well but after PA removed active trading they also removed the limitation on fish this means none of the nodes that you're fishing in has to be connected to the town or city a trade manager is in you can fish at Lake flondor and trade them into soil without having any nodes connected so don't overthink it and just fish we all know time is money

so tip number 14 is just that time is money once you pull up a fish out of the water and it goes into either your bag or your fish tank the expiration timer starts counting down dropping the value of your fish the goal is to sell your fish at the highest value and to do this we have to use the wells along with not having to connect any nodes once the abyss Wells are unlocked they can be used with your fish in your inventory or the fish tank speeding up how fast the fish can be

transported you still can't use taging while you have the said fish but being able to teleport around the world speeds up the travel time depending on where you are at least getting near the end of the list we have the next tip not all fish are valued the same not all the fish share the same value even if they have the same grade apart from the distance some fish in certain regions are valued less than most other places like Land Of The Morning Light or mountain of Eternal winter region be sure to check the price

of the fish after you pull one up before committing to a spot to ensure you can make more money than just wasting your time but be warned just because the fish is valued less you can still make money with other drops that can be found tip number 16 is don't avoid the event fishing zones Black Desert is extremely famous for having AFK fishing events almost every couple of months and these areas are great for making money depending on the event Zone you choose to fish it's not only the fish that you can make a tonn

of over on but with other drops like with nampo you can fish up the forest Crystal and the plump seaan for example so check the fish table see what other goodies you can fish at while fishing for the original red and the plump seed lanss if you're lucky some event zones do have new red grade fish added for added values now on to tip number 17 trade High Imperial low there's two ways you can make money with the fish caught these being either trading to a trade manager or by heading to an Imperial Fish delivery

NPC but knowing which one to choose is a little complicated at first selling fish to a trade manager your trade level increases the fish values after bargaining distance increases the fish value and the more players selling the same fish from the same area to the same trade MPC will drop the amount you can make so try to make sure you switch your trade manager to help make more money when fishing as for Imperial trades the fish values cannot be increased and this comes with a set value but only a certain amount of fish can be

traded meaning you'll have to change channels if your vendor isn't accepting the fish this way is good for those with lower trade levels or just those needing either the golden SEALS or the fishing artifacts but remember you lose out on a lot of silver if delivering the fish the seals can be used to make Mana fishing clothes or the golden keys for Gathering now if your trade level isn't as high as say master the Imperial fish deliveries shouldn't be ignored fishing can easily be done without a single Pearl item but for those willing to spend

money I have a few tips to ensure you're not just wasting your hard-earned money on things that can be earned in game so before buying tip number 18 is not everything has to be bought sure there's several things that will help out fishing that are a must in my opinion like say the celestial horse calling horn making travel a lot faster or the family inventory items and even the artifact slots but most items for fishing can easily be earned free in game for just logging in or questing like the pro fishing costume inventory slot and

the 50 slot fish tank just to name a few so before you start buying anything fishing related ask around and see if it can be obtained for free so you don't waste your money buying everything just like an unrepairable fishing rod now because I get asked a lot about the 100 slot fishing tank if it's worth having tip 19's covering just that more tank longer fishing while the 50 slot shim Chang's fish tank can be earned from a quest at the sea palace you can buy a 50 slot Creo fish tank from the Pearl shop

which can be combined with the shim chiang's fish tank to make the 100 slot shim Chang's fish tank the 100 slot tank is ideal for fishing in places like Mia or the raw SE where there's a high bite rate or for being able to fish for longer than 12 hours or more only those really dedicated to fishing should invest into this tank while the more casual players can get by with just using the 50 slot tank if you're not looking to fish for more than 12 hours don't waste your money the last tip on the

list is otter make everything better back to the great debate whether otter or Papu are better well for this otters are better no matter the rod the LIF skill activity being done if you add FK or your active fishing the little otter fishing carrier is a must have this item has durability reduction resist on all gear durability including combat gear or even Mount gear and increases the fishing Mastery to help out hitting that 2K cap this is going to be a huge game Cher when the 3K Mastery is introduced to help hit that cap a

lot quicker and increase the prize catch chance until other life Skilling backpacks are made this is going to be a staple for all life skills Not Just Fishing and again fishing can be done without the best in slot or having to touch any real money for Pearl items there's so many more tips I could go down but I wanted to keep it at 20 and I hope these either help you start making more silver or just getting your fishing tune ready for your own search after being asked more and more about fishing with players starting
