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.
