WHERE & HOW TO FARM

Where to farm

A safe lava pool in the Underworld.

Prepare a pole, bait or accessory that explicitly supports lava fishing, then use a safe Underworld pool. Compatibility differs by equipment, so check the relevant tooltip before traveling. This route uses lava rather than an ordinary water pool. Choose an Underworld catch or reward as your goal, fish from a stable ledge, and bring enough bait and inventory room for a session. Results vary; stop when you obtain the desired catch or need to restock. The setup does not guarantee a particular result.

GET STARTED

How to farm

Before you go

  • A pole, bait or accessory that supports lava fishing.
  • Bait and inventory room for catches.
  • Safe access to an Underworld lava pool.
  1. Choose the catch or reward you want and check available items for lava compatibility.
  2. Equip the lava-capable setup and bring spare bait and survival supplies.
  3. Find a pool with a stable ledge or platform from which to cast safely.
  4. Cast into the lava and watch the bobber for a catch signal.
  5. Reel in and check each result against your target.
  6. Continue while bait and inventory space remain, staying clear of nearby hazards.
  7. Return to base and sort catches for their crafting or progression use.

Farming tips

  • Use a pool with a broad, safe edge so you do not stand over exposed lava.
  • If the setup does not work, check item compatibility before relocating.

Repeat, collect and use

Repeat while you have compatible equipment, bait and safe access to lava. Results vary and no particular item is guaranteed.

Common mistakes

  • Using ordinary equipment without checking compatibility; inspect the relevant tooltip first.
  • Fishing from an unsafe edge; make a stable ledge or platform before casting.
  • Expecting water-pool results; lava is a distinct fishing environment.

When to stop or switch

Stop when you get the desired catch or run low on bait. Return to water fishing or resource gathering as appropriate.
