Museum and foraging
Fishing
Fishing fills Museum sets, provides request and cooking ingredients, and supplies an alternative to crop and mine work.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Fishing
Surface ponds, rivers, and ocean around Mistria; the Eastern Road pond is a Spring location for Cherry Fish.
Before you go
- Fishing Rod unlocked through Terithia’s letter.
- Target information for season, weather, water type, and shadow size.
- Inventory space for catches and any spare first-copy items.
Farming steps
- Choose a fish from an incomplete Museum set, request, or recipe and note its conditions.
- Travel to the specified water type; do not substitute a river or ocean for a pond.
- For Cherry Fish, use the Eastern Road pond during windy Spring weather and target a small shadow.
- Cast and use the shadow size to focus on eligible fish; repeat casts only while the conditions match.
- Keep the first required catch separate from shipping stock.
- Donate or deliver the reserved fish, then check whether more are needed for cooking or requests.
- Sell or store remaining catches after confirming their uses.
- A matching season does not compensate for the wrong water; location is part of the fish’s conditions.
- Check the weather before making a special trip for a weather-dependent catch.
Repeat, collect and use
Fishing can be repeated, but particular species are limited by their conditions. A missed seasonal or weather window means waiting for another eligible opportunity.
Common mistakes
- Casting at any nearby water for a target fish wastes time; match pond, river, or ocean exactly.
- Ignoring the shadow size makes casts less targeted; select shadows that match the target size.
- Selling a first catch before donation may require another matching trip; reserve it first.
When to stop or switch
Stop when the needed Museum, request, or recipe quantity is caught; if weather or season no longer matches, switch to an available fish or another activity.
