Fishing

Bucketry’s waters hold over a hundred custom fish species across six tiers. Cast a line anywhere and you might pull up a Bronze sardine or, very rarely, a Mythical worth a quarter of a million. Fishing earns three things at once: money when you sell, entropy (fishing’s own currency) and fishing XP, which unlocks augments.

Shift-right-click with a rod, or use /fish, to open the fishing menu.

The six tiers

Tier	Rarity	Sells for	Entropy	Fishing XP
Bronze	Common	$250	40	75
Silver	Uncommon	$1,000	70	150
Gold	Rare	$3,500	120	300
Diamond	Very rare	$15,000	200	700
Platinum	Extremely rare	$60,000	425	1,700
Mythical	Legendary	$250,000	1,500	7,500

Ordinary vanilla fish still bite too and sell for less. If you hold the Fisher Charter, every custom fish also pays a Charter wage on top: $98 for a Bronze and $5,906 for a Mythical at level 1, rising with your level.

Fishing near other anglers (up to five, within 40 blocks) gives more XP and entropy.

Now and then a catch also brings up a Brewer’s Note or Rumor, a brewing recipe hint. If you’d rather fish without them, turn off Brew Notes While Fishing in /settings.

Curious who the best anglers are? /seamarks top angling (or /skills top fishing) shows the top players for the Angling Seamark, with pages and your own rank.

Selling and the fish market

Sell fish at /fish shop. Prices move with supply and demand:

In demand: every morning at 10 AM (Chicago time) one Bronze, Silver or Gold species is announced in chat as in demand and sells for 1.5x.
Glut: selling a lot of one species drives its price down, to as little as 60% of normal. It recovers over a few hours.

So the best price comes from selling a varied catch, and saving the in-demand fish for its day.

Weigh before you sell. Take a big catch to the scales to record its weight. Server records for each species are shown on the lighthouse boards and announced when they fall. Weighed fish are trophies: the House Crew buys Gold to Mythical trophy specimens for up to $450,000, and you can hang one on your wall with a Trophy Mount.

Fish orders

After your first 30 catches, the Jetty Master’s crew posts paid fish orders at /fish deliveries. Each order asks for a number of fish of one tier, any species, within a time limit.

Order size	Pays
Small (8 fish)	$4,000 plus augment materials
Medium (12 fish)	$8,000 plus augment materials
Large (18 fish)	$15,000, a Fish Crate key and materials or lures
Huge (45 fish)	$40,000, two Fish Crate keys and a full set of materials or rare lures

Orders are the main source of the materials you need for augments.

Augments

Augments are permanent upgrades forged onto your rod at /fish augments. Each costs entropy plus materials (crab claws and scales, squid tentacles, dolphin tails and a few blocks), and each needs a minimum fishing level.

Augment	Effect	Max level	Fishing level	Entropy
Saturate	Chance to be fed while fishing	5	8	35,000
Sage	More fishing XP	10	12	57,500
Biome Disruption	Chance to catch fish from any biome (up to 65%)	3	16	60,000
Hot Spot	Chance of a double catch (up to 32%)	13	20	50,000
Steady Line	Wider green zone in the Big Fish Fight (2 per level on each side)	5	22	45,000
Call of the Storm	Double-catch chance in the rain (up to 50%), plus better Diamond and Platinum odds on your main catch during storms	5	24	40,000
Precision Cutting	More entropy from gutting fish	8	26	70,000
Perception	More entropy per catch	7	28	75,000
Intellect	More XP per catch (up to 1.8x)	10	30	50,000
Solar Rage	Sell fish for more (up to +25%)	5	35	75,000
Ballast	Diamond, Platinum and Mythical fish weigh 3% more per level at the scales	5	40	90,000

Steady Line widens the Big Fish Fight’s green zone from 35-80 to 25-90 at level V. Materials: 12 Squid Tentacle, 12 Crab Claw, 4 Lead, 16 Slime Ball, 16 Prismarine Shard and 16 Iron Ingot.
Ballast only changes the weight on the scales (records, trophies and personal bests). What a fish sells for stays the same. Materials: 10 Dolphin Tail, 20 Crab Scale, 8 Iron Block, 4 Heavy Weighted Pressure Plate and 4 Nautilus Shell.
Call of the Storm gives more of a Diamond and Platinum boost in a thunderstorm than in plain rain. It never changes your Mythical odds, and its extra-fish chance works as before.

The Leviathan Lure

The Leviathan Lure is a special augment you can’t craft, and each player gets only one. To claim it, ask the Harbormaster (“Tell me of the Leviathan”) or use /fish leviathan claim. You need:

Half your Personal Codex filled (72 of 144 species)
At least one species record

Once a day, cast into a deep ocean during a thunderstorm and your next bite is a Big Fish Fight against a Mythical fish, a tougher fight than usual. Losing the fight still uses up that day’s try. Check your progress with /fish leviathan status.

Crabs, squid and dolphins drop materials (Looting helps). In a hurry? The Chandlery (/chandlery) sells materials, lures and Trophy Mounts for entropy. The Fishing line in /quests also pays material bundles at every step.

Fishing moments

Perfect Reel: about one cast in seven turns into a short timing challenge. Land it for bonus entropy and XP.
Big Fish Fight: Diamond, Platinum and Mythical fish fight back. Hold sneak to reel and ease off when the fish thrashes, keeping the tension in the green. A clean landing adds 10% to the fish’s weight.
Strange Catches: rarely, something that is not a fish takes the hook. Be ready.
Shoals: a fishing shoal gathers somewhere in the claiming world at :34 past every hour and stays for 20 minutes (not during a Stormbreak Raid). Fish inside it for better catches.
Personal Codex and expeditions: track every species you have caught, earn keepsakes at collection milestones, and complete short expeditions (a new species, 8 catches, 3 biomes) for 250 entropy.

Deep Haul

The old evening rally has been replaced by Deep Haul: a daily co-op fishing event at 5:20 PM (Chicago time) in Gnasher’s Cove, with fast bites, combos, a squall and the Old Gnasher to land together. Up to $600,000 a day plus Haul Tokens. See Deep Haul.
