Maps have natural fishing spots — look for water and watch living fish spawn around them. Spots regenerate: after a while fish appear again.
In Fishing plots you see nearby spots, how many fish are left, and whether you can use them.
As your Fishing level rises you unlock spawn slots. You can take fish from a natural spot and place your personal lake where you aim.
This lets you build a small fishing base on the map. The lake lasts while it has fish — when empty, it disappears.
There are two ecosystems: fresh water (rivers, lakes) and salt water (sea, ocean). Different places have different fish — from simple rudd to legendary sharks and krakens.
Some advanced rods let you fish anywhere — regardless of water type.
The Slimi RPG world is alive — day and night change, and so can weather. This affects which fish are active and which baits work best.
Before fishing the menu may show the current world state — worth checking, especially with night baits.
Sometimes a catch can be special: shiny, sparkling, golden, or mythical. Such catches are worth more and often announced to the whole server — a real event!
The rarer the fish and the better your gear — the better the chance to find something unusual. Leave the details for discovery.
