Fishing and bait
Potion Fish
Potion fish supply ingredients for useful consumables. Target the fish named by a recipe to give each fishing trip a purpose.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Potion Fish
The biome water where the fish in your chosen potion recipe is caught.
Before you go
- A fishing pole and bait.
- Access to the fish’s specified biome and liquid.
- The other recipe ingredients and required alchemy station.
Farming steps
- Choose a potion and inspect its recipe for the exact fish ingredient.
- Identify the fish’s biome and any stated time, weather or other condition.
- Travel to a suitable pool and prepare bait for the session.
- Cast and reel when the bobber signals, checking catches against your target.
- Continue under the correct conditions until you have enough fish.
- Return to base and gather the remaining potion ingredients.
- Craft the potion at the appropriate alchemy station and store it for use.
- Set a target quantity before fishing so you do not spend bait on excess ingredients.
- If the target fish is not appearing, recheck the location and conditions before changing routes.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeat when you need more of the potion ingredient. Availability depends on the particular fish and its conditions; no catch count is guaranteed.
Common mistakes
- Fishing without checking the recipe; confirm the fish and biome first.
- Assuming all potion fish share conditions; check the chosen fish’s requirements.
- Leaving without bait or inventory room; prepare before traveling.
When to stop or switch
Stop when you have enough fish for the planned potion batch, then gather the remaining ingredients.
