Enshrouded fishing guide (1.0)

Fishing rods

A rod carries two factors: one on the weight of the spot's trash entry (trashWeightFactor) and one on its “shoe” entry (shoeWeightFactor). Above 1 makes that entry more likely, below 1 less.

The 6 spot types

Named after their templates. The fish odds are the same at every type; what differs is the trash entry and the shoe entry. Both are printed as the files store them (the percentage field) — the files do not say which unit the game reads them in, so compare them with each other rather than as a chance.

Low confidence: these are the 38 placements of the spot templates our scan of the world files found, and our extract rates them low confidence. Read the region totals as what the scan found, not as a census.

Every fish and its odds

The 6 spot tables weigh the 15 fish the same way. The share below is before any bait; the best bait is the one that gives the fish its highest share. Every fish is listed for all day — the files mark none for day or night only.

Treasure and trash loot by bait

Each bait points to one of 7 trash loot tables. This is what those tables hold, by each item's share of the table. Items with no English name in the files are counted, not named.

Fishing difficulty settings

The fishing minigame has 5 rows of settings in the files, with these fields. The rows carry no names.

Dedicated servers set this with fishingDifficulty (5 options: VeryEasy, Easy, Normal, Hard, VeryHard; default Normal). Keen's description: “This setting defines the strength of the fish during the fishing minigame. The stronger a fish is, the longer the minigame will proceed.” The files do not say which row belongs to which option, so the rows stay numbered. See the server settings.
