Reduces the maximum delay before a nibble by 3.75 seconds. Using mathematical terms, Luremaster's limit is zero (0) and Pirate's limit is infinity (∞). Luremaster is better until refined quartz no longer matters (mainly for quality sprinkers and lightning rods unless you are building crystal paths and floors), while Luremaster gives you the same effect as a magnet (worth 1,000g or 1 iron bar) per cast. It's a little bit of a toss up between the two professions. If you want to fish passively, take Trapper > Luremaster.

If you enjoy playing the fishing minigame, take Fisher > Pirate.

Personally, I want to catch trash when it comes to crab pots because the recycler offers great rewards, so I strongly suggest Luremaster.īasically the two best choices are the following: Luremaster removes the bait requirement from the crab pot and that has a relatively large impact on how you spend your time (no more farming bugs in the mines or remembering to bait your traps). Mariner guarentees that you'll catch fish and that guarentees that you'll make money with your crab pots. The choice between Mariner and Luremaster at level 10 is probably the most game changing profession choice you'll get. It's not all that useful because I'd rather buy crab pots from Willy for 1,500g than spend time gathering copper/iron ore and coal. If you took Trapper at level 5, crab pots require copper bars instead of iron bars.

Pirate is the better choice since fishing treasures are sometimes very good it is effectively a free magnet every time you cast (a type of bait, more on that later), but it still comes down to the fact that if you spend time fishing, this profession is the better choice. At this point, Angler probably isn't worth it unless your focused on making fishing your primary money maker (but you shouldn't do that). If you took Fisher at level 5, you'll have the choice between Angler and and Pirate at level 10. This decision really comes down to how you plan to spend time in the game. If you like the fishing minigame, fisher will be better if you plan on using traps (or not fish at all), take trapper. Rod fishing offers better rewards but takes a considerable amount of time and energy while trapping takes little time and no energy (but has the added cost of requiring bait).Īs far as professions go, your level 5 options are betwen Fisher and Trapper. The fishing professions in Stardew Valley are split between the two types of fishing the game offers: rod & reel fishing and fish trapping. Luremaster - Crab pots no longer need to be baited. Pirate - Chance to find treasure doubled. Trapper - Resources required to craft crab pots reduced. Crab pots are a great way to level fishing early in the game if you find the fishing minigame difficult (it gets easier as you level, I promise). Level your fishing skills by catching fish your rod or using crab pots. Once you have access to crab pots, use those to level fishing without playing the minigame.

You'll only catch trash but you don't need to successfully complete the minigame to catch a fish. To easily level your fishing skill, you can cast into one of the two ponds on your farm. You can catch treasure by moving the bar over the icon and waiting for the green circle around the treasure to fill then go back to catching the fish as normal. You must still catch the fish to receive the treasure. Sometimes a treasure icon will show up while inside the fishing minigame.

Once the meter is full, you'll catch the fish. As long as the fish is in the box, the meter will go up if the fish is out of the box, the meter will go down. During the minigame, the fish will randomly move up or down and your job is to keep the bar in the green box (by holding right click to move the bar up or releasing right click to lower the bar). After a short period of time you'll get a bite, right-click/hit x again to start the fishing minigame. You can get your first fishing pole from Willy after he sends you a letter in the mail saying he returned from his trip it's normally within the first few days of your first spring.Ĭast your rod by equiping and using the rod near water (either right click or X on the Xbox controller). The minigame is extremely hard at low levels, but gets much easier as you level up your fishing skill. Fishing is regarded as one of, if not the most difficult parts to Stardew Valley.
