How to Get a Fishing Pole
Before you can learn how to fish in V Rising you’ll need to get a fishing pole. In order to obtain a fishing pole you will need to defeat the V Boss Finn the Fisherman. Once you have defeated him you will be rewarded with the fishing pole recipe.
You will need to place down a woodworking bench in your castle in order to craft a fishing pole. To do this you’ll have to defeat Rufus the Foreman to get the woodworking bench recipe. You can build one by pressing the default build key of “B”. Then navigate to production and crafting. You will need 12 planks and 60 animal hide to place down the woodworking bench. If you have workshop room it will decrease the amount of lumber needed to create the planks.
Once you have a woodworking bench simply interact with it to bring up the crafting menu. From there you can craft a fishing pole. Once crafted you will be ready to catch some fish.
How to Fish in V Rising
In order to fish you will need to locate a fishing spot. You can not simply walk up to a body of water and fish. Fishing spots can be located by their white bubbly spots in the water. Once you find a bubbly spot you can then equip your fishing pole and begin fishing.
To equip your fishing pole you will to have it on your hot bar and press the appropriate key. Once equipped you just need to hover your mouse over the fishing spot and left click once to cast the rod. You will need to wait a few moments until you see some big splashes appear. Once this happens you just need to left click once again to reel the fish in.
You must time your second left click during the big splashes phase. If you click too early or too late and miss your opportunity the fishing spot will disappear and you will have to wait for it to respawn or go find another fishing spot.
