Fishing
Fishing is a collection mini-game: cast your line, reel in catches of varying rarity, sell them for Ganyu Coins or keep them to complete your Fishdex.

Commands
Each /fish catch has a coin cost and triggers a cooldown, both set by the server. Premium players get a cast that's 10% cheaper, a cooldown reduced by 30% and increased chances on rare catches.
/fish catch [hook] Casts your line — the foundation. Option to equip a hook.
/fish inventory Your catches and your fishing gear.
/fish sell [item] [amount] Sells a catch (or "all") for Ganyu Coins.
/fish buy Buys hooks and bag upgrades (interactive panel).
/fish dex [item] The Fishdex: your collection of discovered species.
/fish settings Your fishing preferences.
Catch rarities
Each cast draws a catch from a weighted pool: junk is common, legendary very rare. The Fishdex gathers over 170 entries spread across several tiers.
| Tier | Rarity | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Junk | very common | can, sponge, bottle — token resale value |
| Common | common | ordinary fish |
| Rare | uncommon | sought-after species |
| Very rare | hard | valuable catches |
| Legendary | exceptional | the Fishdex's centerpieces |
Hooks
Hooks are consumed on use and reweight the draw: they reduce junk and increase the chances of rare catches. Three qualities exist, buyable via /fish buy and equippable at cast with /fish catch hook:….
| Hook | Junk | Common | Rare | Very rare | Legendary |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Basic (fishing_hook) | ×0.8 | ×1.2 | ×1.3 | ×1.1 | ×1.2 |
| Silver (silver_hook) | ×0.5 | ×1.3 | ×1.5 | ×1.8 | ×2.0 |
| Gold (golden_hook) | ×0.3 | ×1.4 | ×1.7 | ×2.0 | ×2.5 |
Tip — The gold hook maximizes legendary (×2.5) while crushing junk (×0.3). Save it for sessions where you're chasing Fishdex completion.
Bag and resale
Your bag limits the number of different species stored; it upgrades with /fish buy for coins and fish (e.g. junk). Capacities rise by tier: 10 then 25 then 100 slots.
Sell your catches with /fish sell: each species has its own sale price (configurable by the server), and /fish sell all liquidates everything sellable at once. Tools like hooks are not sellable.
Progression and Fishdex
Completing the Fishdex is a long-haul goal: some species only turn up with the right hook and a lot of patience. Two /leaderboard rankings reward the effort: fish caught and Fishdex completion .
Tip — Fishing items can also drop in your /daily and /hourly rewards depending on the server's configuration.
Frequently asked questions
Why can't I fish again right away?
Each cast triggers a cooldown set by the server. Check /cooldown to see when your next /fish catch will be ready. Premium reduces this delay by 30%.
What are hooks for?
They rebalance the draw in your favor: less junk, more rare and legendary catches. They're consumed on every cast where you equip them, so save the gold hooks for the legendary hunt.
Should I sell or keep my fish?
Duplicates and junk can be sold for coins with /fish sell. Keep at least one of each species to complete the Fishdex, and hold onto junk: it's used to upgrade your bag.
How do I fish on Discord?
/fish catch casts your line, with the hook option to equip a hook. Every cast costs coins and starts a cooldown, both set by the server.
How many species does the Fishdex hold?
Over 170 entries, spread across five tiers: junk, common, rare, very rare and legendary. Junk is frequent, legendary exceptional.
Which hook should I pick?
The golden hook is the most effective: it cuts junk roughly threefold (×0.3) and multiplies legendary odds by 2.5. Silver sits in between, basic is a modest upgrade. All three are consumed on use.
How do I enlarge my fishing bag?
With /fish buy, paying in coins and in fish, often junk. Capacity grows by tier: 10, then 25, then 100 slots for distinct species.
How do I sell every catch at once?
/fish sell all liquidates everything sellable. Each species has its own price, configurable by the server, and tools like hooks cannot be sold.
Does premium change anything about fishing?
Yes: a cast costs 10% less, the cooldown drops by 30%, and the odds on rare catches go up.
Is there a fishing leaderboard?
Two: the number of fish caught and Fishdex completion, both available through /leaderboard. The second rewards collecting rather than volume.
