 Fishing is one of the core player Skills in SkyBlock. Mainly, it can be leveled up by catching items such as Treasure or Trophies or slaying Sea Creatures. Players can fish in either Water Water or Lava Lava, each with unique pools, but requiring a different Fishing Rod.

When Fishing, players' catch is determined by several rolls. In order they are:

  1. Sea Creatures, chance of which is equal to their Sea Creature Chance. Sea Creatures have a numerical value called "Weight", which determines the odds of each Sea Creature and can be increased by various sources.
  2. Trophies, chance of which varies depending on Trophy and is increased by Trophy Chance. Specific Trophy and their tier is rolled from the rarest to the most common.
  3. Treasure, chance of which is equal to their Treasure Chance. [More Info Needed]

Fishing Speed

[edit | edit source]

Fishing Speed decreases the amount of time it takes the player to catch an item or Sea Creature.

The amount of ticks it will take for a fish to start approaching the bobber depends on these formulae:

BaseTicks=Random number between 200 and (400200×LureCatchTimeReduction)Ticks=BaseTicks(FishingSpeedFishingSpeedCap×BaseTicks)No. of Seconds=TicksTicksPerSecond
FishingSpeedCap defaults to 300, but varies on some islands.

Island FishingSpeedCap
Backwater Bayou 200 
Lotus Atoll 250 
Crimson Isle 350 
Everywhere else 300 

TicksPerSecond is 20 by default, but can vary depending on lag.

If FishingSpeedFishingSpeedCap, Ticks=0.

If the Flash enchantment activates, Ticks=1.

Sea Creatures

[edit | edit source]

When fishing, players have a chance to catch a Sea Creature. Sea Creatures are mobs which drop Fishing loot and Fishing XP when killed. The player's Sea Creature Chance determines the chance they have to catch a Sea Creature and Double Hook Chance determines the chance of fishing two Sea Creatures at once.

As a player increases their fishing level, they unlock stronger creatures that give more XP and better loot. Killing sea creatures on the private island does not provide fishing XP.

Sea Creatures cannot be damaged with arrows directly, except those shot from Prismarine Bow Prismarine Bow.

Runic sea creatures have a 50% chance to drop a Wake Rune upon death.

Players can disable catching Sea Creatures by wearing at least 2 pieces of Bronze Hunter Helmet.png Bronze Hunter Armor or of any of its upgrades, or by using Treasure Hook Treasure Hook.

Trophy Fishing

[edit | edit source]

Trophies can be occasionally caught while fishing on the Lotus Atoll and Crimson Isle. Trophy Chance increases chances to catch Trophies.

There are multiple tiers of each Trophy Fish: Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Diamond. Trophies can exchanged with A sprite icon representing Researcher Ribery in Hypixel SkyBlock Researcher Ribery or A sprite icon representing Odger in Hypixel SkyBlock Odger for Lotus Lotus or Magmafish Magmafish.

Catching individual tiers of Trophies increases the player's Trophy Fishing level, granting them rewards from A sprite icon representing Researcher Ribery in Hypixel SkyBlock Researcher Ribery and A sprite icon representing Odger in Hypixel SkyBlock Odger. Additionally, reaching Novice and Adept Trophy Fisher unlocks the A sprite icon representing Thunder in Hypixel SkyBlock Thunder and A sprite icon representing Lord Jawbus in Hypixel SkyBlock Lord Jawbus Sea Creatures.

Players can disable catching Trophies by wearing Tera Shell Necklace Tera Shell Necklace, or by using Treasure Hook Treasure Hook.

Treasure Fishing

[edit | edit source]

Items can be obtained from fishing if the player does not catch a Sea Creature, depending on their Treasure Chance.

There is a base chance of 89% for a GOOD CATCH, 10% for a GREAT CATCH, and 1% for an OUTSTANDING CATCH. The chance for great and outstanding catches can be increased using Blessed Bait Blessed Bait, the Blessing enchantment, and a RARE or better Hermit Crab Pet Hermit Crab Pet.

Fishing Rods

[edit | edit source]

Fishing Rods are the main tools that player uses to fish. First one can be obtained from A sprite icon representing Fisherwoman Enid in Hypixel SkyBlock Fisherwoman Enid, crafted or bought from A sprite icon representing Fishing Merchant in Hypixel SkyBlock Fishing Merchant.

Rod Parts

[edit | edit source]

Rod Parts come in three variants: Hooks, Lines, and Sinkers. Hooks affect the chance to catch certain items or Sea Creatures, Lines grant global stat bonuses, and Sinkers grant Fishing Rods miscellaneous special abilities.

Fishing Baits

[edit | edit source]

Baits provide a variety of bonus effects to Fishing. They're consumed when catching something. If the player pulls their rod without catching anything, bait is not consumed. Players can reduce the chance for Bait to be consumed. Using bait is automatic, but can be disabled in the player's Fishing Bag.

Hotspots

[edit | edit source]

Once the they're introduced to the concept by A sprite icon representing Hattie in Hypixel SkyBlock Hattie, players will be able to find Hotspots on most islands that allow fishing, in which player can fish unique Hotspot Sea Creatures and gain minor stat boost.

[edit | edit source]
  • There are two main reasons to fish, for the XP and for valuable drops. No matter which is being gone for, it is required to have as much Fishing Speed as possible. When fishing for XP, getting as much Fishing Wisdom as possible is recommended. When fishing for valuable drops (from Sea Creatures), getting as much Sea Creature Chance and Magic Find as possible is recommended. If possible, use the Whale Bait Whale Bait, which is currently the best bait. If it is too expensive, Glowy Chum Bait Glowy Chum Bait or Fish Bait Fish Bait serve well as a cheaper alternative.
