Fishing System

In addition to the Mining and Forging system, a similar grinding system is now making its way into bRO. The Fishing System. This system can aid players a little in grinding from time to time.

Fishing World is similar to Mining and Forging System where you can level up and manage various skills, but it's also different in some ways. If you are familiar with the House of Trials fishing system, it's the same but with addition with gears and different baits! In this system, there's a number of items that you can obtain and help you improve your fishing proficiency.

Note: Since this is a fairly new system, items, drop rates, and other aspects may be changed without notice. Attempting to abuse this system will be punished accordingly.

Fishing Spots with Specific Fishes

These fishing shoals are found in Atlantis. You can select "More Information" upon clicking on a shoal to check the fish information in these shoals. (this feature will be added in other shoals soon)

Advantage: This shoal only give these specific fishes so it's easier to hunt a specific fish you need for quest etc. Though, attractants and special bait can still attract mythical and boss fishes here.

Disadvantage: Some fish on these type of shoal has very high required attraction. It means if your attraction is low, there a high chance that you'll fail to attract any fish in that shoal. These shoals also has minimum required attraction power. Minimum is about 50% chance that you'll be able to attract any fish in that shoal.
