Fishing
PrimordialMC uses the PyroFishingPro plugin to deliver a deep fishing experience. Fishing is one of the 5 professions, capped at level 100, with XP ranging from 20 (Bronze) to 1,000 (Mythical) per catch. Use /fishmenu to open the fishing interface.

Fish Tiers & Rates
Every fish you catch belongs to one of six tiers. Higher tiers are rarer but sell for significantly more and grant more XP and entropy.
| Tier | Catch Rate | Sell Price | XP | Entropy |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bronze | 73.75% | $25 | 20 | 40 |
| Silver | 20% | $60 | 50 | 100 |
| Gold | 5% | $300 | 100 | 800 |
| Diamond | 1% | $2,000 | 250 | 2,500 |
| Platinum | 0.2% | $10,000 | 500 | 5,000 |
| Mythical | 0.05% | $50,000 | 1,000 | 10,000 |
Crafting Materials
While fishing you have a chance to reel in crafting materials instead of a fish. These are used at the fishing crafting station (/fishingstation).
| Material | Rarity | Drop Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Brine Scale | Common | 3.1% |
| Drift Pearl | Common | 3.1% |
| Tideweave Fin | Uncommon | 1.25% |
| Abyss Kelp | Uncommon | 1.25% |
| Leviathan Oil | Rare | 0.52% |
| Maelstrom Core | Epic | 0.125% |
Fishing Combat Mobs
There is a 1% chance to hook a combat mob instead of a fish. New combat mobs unlock every 10 fishing levels. You must defeat them before you can continue fishing.
| Mob | Unlock Level |
|---|---|
| Snapping Turtle | 10 |
| Saltwater Barracuda | 20 |
| Electric Eel | 30 |
| Giant Crab | 40 |
| Sea Serpent | 50 |
| Colossal Squid | 60 |
| Hammerhead Leviathan | 70 |
| Abyssal Horror | 80 |
| Tidal Kraken | 90 |
| Primordial Leviathan | 100 |
Warning
The last three combat mobs — Abyssal Horror, Tidal Kraken, and Primordial Leviathan — are the toughest and most rewarding. Come prepared with good gear before fishing at high levels.
Fishing Critters
Critters are passive catches (non-combat) that can appear while fishing. They provide bonus rewards without requiring you to fight.
- Crab: 1.0% catch chance
- Dolphin: 0.5% catch chance
- Squid: 0.5% catch chance
Augmentations
Augmentations are upgrades that modify your fishing experience. There are 12 types available, each providing a distinct advantage.
| # | Augmentation | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | SolarRage | +6–25% sell price bonus |
| 2 | HotSpot | 2–32% double-catch chance |
| 3 | Intellect | 1.08–1.8x XP multiplier |
| 4 | MasterFisherman | +10–200 higher tier catch chance |
| 5 | CallOfTheStorm | 5–50% double-catch chance in rain |

| 10 | Perception | 1.04–1.28x entropy multiplier |
| 11 | Trophy | 3–18% scale profit bonus |
| 12 | BiomeDisruption | 15–65% biome bypass chance |
Gutting Station
Use the Gutting Station to gut your fish for entropy. Higher-tier fish yield significantly more entropy. Access it through /fishmenu.
| Fish Tier | Entropy per Gut |
|---|---|
| Bronze | 20 |
| Silver | 60 |
| Gold | 150 |
| Diamond | 200 |
| Platinum | 800 |
Tip
The PrecisionCutting augmentation adds a 5–40% entropy bonus when gutting fish. Upgrade it early if you want to maximize your entropy income.
Lost Treasures
Every catch has a 3% chance to yield a Lost Treasure instead of a fish. These contain a variety of valuable rewards that can significantly boost your progression.
Possible Rewards
- XP vouchers and coin vouchers
- Secret Dust (for the custom enchant system)
- Enchanted books (vanilla)
- Item bundles
- Black Scrolls (extract enchants from gear)
- Rare fishing titles
Tip
Black Scrolls from Lost Treasures are extremely valuable — they let you pull custom enchants off existing gear to apply elsewhere. Keep an eye out for these drops.
