Fishing
AvalonEarth replaces vanilla fishing loot with a custom catch system. Just fish normally with a fishing rod; every successful catch rolls for a custom result — a fish, a special drop, or (rarely) a missile blueprint.
What you catch
Each successful catch can be a custom fish (chosen by weight), a special drop, or (rarely) a missile blueprint.
Custom fish have:
- A rarity: Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic or Legendary.
- A length in centimetres, rolled per catch, shown in the item lore.
- A "caught by" attribution.
- World restrictions: most fish are Earth-only, but several species are Moon-only (caught while fishing on the Moon) — e.g. Fish Alien, Lemurian, Acrid, Cold Silverfish, Alien Piranha, Moon Squid.
A few fish are special: the Golden Fish, for example, can be right-clicked to eat for temporary buffs.
Special drops include junk and curios such as Soaked Coin, Tangled Kelp, Damaged Anchor, and the rare Old Pearl.
Mastery, quests & leaderboards
Mastery
Each fish species has mastery levels you climb by catching more of it. Thresholds are at 1, 10, 25, 50, 100, 250 and 500 catches.
Daily quests
A rotating set of quests assigned per real-world day (catch X of a species, catch X of a rarity, total length caught, etc.). Completing one grants items.
Persistent quests
Lifetime milestones that never reset and pay out once, such as "catch 1000 fish", "catch every species", "catch every jellyfish colour", or "land a 200 cm trophy".
Leaderboards
The biggest catch of each fish is tracked (top 10).
