How To Start Fishing In Brighter Shores

The first thing you need to start your fishing experience in Brighter Shores is, quite clearly, a rod. Luckily, you don’t need to complete any difficult or long quests to do so – just buy one.

A fishing rod will set you back 12 silver coins. You can find one in the fishing supplies store, which you will find in the center of Hopeport town. If you don’t have enough money, be sure to pick up some simple quests before you start your fishing journey.

To start off, you need to level up your fishing experience since you will begin from fishing level zero, and you won’t be able to catch much of anything. We recommend heading to the beach area just south of the Sea Road, which is the perfect starting place. You should have visited this area during the tutorial, so you should be familiar with it. You should find some Flounder there, which you can sell for some money and you can also gain experience while you’re catching them.

How To Level Up Fishing Fast

Still, in order to enhance your fishing experience, and also gain access to both better fishing gear and new fish to catch, leveling up remains crucial.

If you have already gained a couple of levels and are looking for a quick way to rack up experience, we’d recommend heading off to Eel Street Bridge. There you can catch some eels that you can conveniently sell to the Fishmonger, located just close by.

This way, you should be able to quickly reach level 10. Upon reaching that level, a pop-up will inform you that you have unlocked a new type of fish, the Lonely Pufferfish. This new and improved version will give you more experience points. They are located at Wilhope Crossing, which is not that far from where you fishing earlier, just to the east. They are relatively easy to catch and allow you to be sold quickly and level up fast.

How To Fish With Bait

You will be able to use bait once you reach level 20 of fishing. You can buy six different types of bait at the fishing store and you will need them to catch certain types of fish. Once purchased, each bait will last you an hour.

Here are all the fish that you will unlock and their locations.
