What is Gaia Fishing?
Fishing is Gaia’s favorite pastime. It requires nerves of steel and a steady hand as you pit yourself against the fish that populate the ponds and rivers of Gaia.
Fishing can be enjoyed singly or in the company of friends. All you need to do is find one of the various fishing spots. Armed with your trusty fishing rod and some bait, take on the feisty (yet delicious) fish that live in the murky Gaian waters.
What equipment will I need in order to start fishing?
Old Man Logan on the shores of Bass’ken Lake will be happy help outfit you for the task with fishing rods and bait.
The basic fishing rod costs only 100 gaia gold to buy and you can upgrade from there. Generally the more costly the rod, the easier it becomes to fish.
None but the dumbest of fish (and MAYBE tires and boots) will latch onto a bare hook, so you’ll need some bait. There’s several kinds of bait and different fish prefer different types of bait so it pays to have a variety.
Next, you’ll need to pick a fishing spot. There are several lakes, lagoons and even man-made structures where you can fish. You’ll need to check the map to find places where you can fish at.
There are types of fish live only in one place and even within the same body of water, some fish like cool, deep waters while others prefer the shallows of the coast.
