Fishing in Slayers 2

The permit and the stamp

1. 1 · Sofen, level 45

   Talk to Dock Master Sofen on the harbour docks and pick Ill find the permit stamp(Lv 45). Accepting takes 5,000 Wen.

2. 2 · The stamp

   It sits on a wooden crate with a blue tarp, against the cliff across the water from Sofen. Press T at Permit Stamp. It used to be on a table indoors, so do not go looking for it in a house.

3. 3 · Back to Sofen

   He hands over the Fishing Permit and 2,700 experience, and tells you to show it to the fisherman. Jeso, on the same dock, will now sell you a rod.

The three rods

The Rare rod asks for five Golden Fish on top of the Wen, and you catch those with the Basic rod first; that takes one to six hours depending on the bait. The Legendary rod’s Items catch tier is what lets it pull up gear.

Bait, and the quest that unlocks the good one

• Worm4 Wen from Jeso. The cheapest bait.
• Fish Head6 Wen from Baitmonger Nori, after Shiori's quest. Rare. 0.5x bite speed, +0.1 Fish Luck.
• Golden TentacleNori, x10 for 50 and x75 for 350 in a green Robux-style currency, or Sealed Caches: 12% T3, 8% T2, 3% T1. Legendary. +0.4 Fish Luck.
• Drowned LureThe puzzle reward in Isao's chain. Legendary. A bite does not use it up.

Baitmonger Nori, in a house in Hidden Mist Village, only sells Fish Head once you have done Shiori’s Restock the Infirmary at Butterfly Estate (that quest may need level 70). She wants 10 each of three elixirs, and Alchemist Meku on the harbour docks sells them for Wen plus Demon Horns:

• Health Elixir: 350 Wen and 2 horns each
• Health Regen Elixir: 500 Wen and 2 horns each
• Stamina Regen Elixir: 750 Wen and 2 horns each

That is 16,000 Wen and 60 Demon Horns for the lot. The quest pays 7,200 experience, 810 Wen and one Ore back.

What comes out of the water

The Archives fishing tab holds sixteen cards: three rods, four baits and nine catches. The everyday ones are OuwFish, OuwFwesh, Coral and Sea Horse; Clown Fish, Zebra Fish and Golden Fish are Rare, and Golden Fish is the one you need for the second rod. Crustadon and Krathulon are Legendary fish, and the Legendary rod chain turns on them. Every catch with its price and who wants it is on the fish list.

With the Legendary rod, gear comes up too. Four cards for gear and materials list Fished up as a source: the Lost Mask and Lost Cape (both Mythic, also 0.9% from a Lost Chest), the Lost Shotgun, and the Mythic Refinement Ore that high refines and the Mythic reforge need. The Lost Shotgun’s rarity reads Impossible, and it has the same headline stats as a Firstlight weapon.

The Legendary rod, step by step

1. 1 · The clue

   Catch one Crustadon and one Krathulon, then Sofen offers to read you a dead fisherman’s file for 2,500 Wen. The clue is optional if you already know where to go.

   

2. 2 · The Drowned Lure

   At night, on the rocky ledge across from the waterspout by the red bridge at Mistfall Harbor, fish with the Basic rod and no bait: unequip every bait first. The route reportedly gives the Drowned Lure after five successful catches, but players disagree about the count and some report getting stuck. Empty attempts are not confirmed to count; check the rod, bait and nighttime location before repeating it.

3. 3 · Isao, at night

   The ghost of Legendary Fisherman Isao appears under the red bridge after dark. Bring him two Crustadon and two Krathulon; he points you downriver, past two drops, toward a tree.

   

4. 4 · The tree ledge

   The grass ledge by that tree is near Butterfly Estate. Equip the Drowned Lure and fish until the rod comes up. It can take anywhere from six to over forty tries, so expect a while. It also earns the Legendary Fisherman title.

   

What fishing pays

Angler Runo, near the stamp crates, runs The Morning Haul from level 45: two each of OuwFish, Sea Horse, Coral and OuwFwesh into his crates, for 790 Wen and 1,802 experience (with a 1.03x title bonus). It pays better than selling common fish. From level 60 he adds The Good Catch: three of each of those four plus one Clown Fish and one Zebra Fish, for 1,035 Wen in one player’s run. Kazuma at the same harbour also wants 20 Common Fish for the Soryu Trial.

Ginzo by the harbour shrine buys everything else. An overnight haul of 1,417 pieces sold for 98,120 Wen and 17 of the pink Mythic Refinement Ore in one go; that is the smithing ore, not the Ore the shop takes. What else Ginzo pays for is on the selling page.

Hauls that size usually come from AFK macros, outside programs that play the minigame by reading the screen. Macros are unofficial downloads, and at least one has been found saving Google cookies, so be careful with anything you install.
