Skill
Fishing釣り
The skill for fishing with a rod at the water's edge. Fishing is one of the 12 skills in Core Keeper and needs 1,494 XP to reach level 100.
Reeling up fish or other treasures from waters increases your fishing skill.
In-game description
How Fishing XP is gained
You gain XP each time you catch something, including things that are not fish. 1 XP per catch, whatever you catch and whatever its rarity.
Tips for leveling Fishing efficiently
- Non-fish catches count too, so the shortest path is simply fishing as often as you can.
- Having double the fishing value a spot requires gives the shortest wait, so a nearby easy spot is enough. Fishing Nets give no XP.
XP needed to level up Fishing
Total XP from level 0. Each level needs more XP than the one before it, so the last 25 levels take the longest. Every 5 levels give 1 talent point, and reaching level 100 gives 5 more (25 in total).
| Level | Total XP | Talent points |
|---|---|---|
| Lv.25 | 159 | 5 |
| Lv.50 | 415 | 10 |
| Lv.75 | 828 | 15 |
| Lv.100 | 1,494 | 25 |

Fishing talents
Spend the talent points you get from leveling up on these talents. Each effect is "value per point × points spent" (values from the talent data in the game's configuration files). You cannot fill every talent, but you can reset the points for 200 Ancient Coins and spend them again.
| Talent | Effect (per point) |
|---|---|
| Improved bait | Fish (and other things) bite 5% faster |
| Fisherman's luck | +4% chance to get a fish on the hook |
| Angler's advantage | +2% chance for higher rarity fish to bite |
| Studied patterns | +2% dodge chance |
| Steady feet | +10% reduced impact of slippery movement |
| Secure lures | +5% chance lure will not be consumed when catching a fish |
| Well-trained aim | +6% of fishing added as range damage |
