When you’re not busy with the main quests in Blue Protocol: Star Resonance, there are plenty of side missions and mini-games to keep you busy. One of these is learning how to fish, which is a simple way to level up and earn in-game currency between missions.
There are a few ways to start fishing in Blue Protocol: Star Resonance. Once you do, many different fish become available. These fish can be used as materials for various life skills such as Botany, Cooking, and Alchemy.
Getting Ready to Fish
Before you can fish, you’ll need two essential items: a fishing pole and bait to put on your line. When you’re prepared to fish, you’ll first need to find these items.
You can:
- Accept a quest from the Fishing Guild Member in Asterleeds. She’s located just northeast of the Celestine Plaza teleport point, north of the Parkour Registration. Talking to her will invite you to join the angler club, which gives you a free fishing pole, bait, and a fishing guide with helpful tips.
- Or, simply go to a fishing spot on the map and start fishing right away. If you have no gear, you’ll be directed to the in-game Fishing Store to buy what you need. You can buy new fishing poles here as you rank up your Fishing skill, with prices in Luno (Bound). It’s useful to know where to restock gear.
Even if you buy a fishing pole, visiting the Guild Member is recommended because it starts the “Invitation from the Fishing Guild” quest. This quest involves catching an Astercad at the yacht harbor fishing spot. Completing it rewards you with different bait, experience points, and some Luno (Bound).
How to Fish
Fishing is straightforward in Blue Protocol: Star Resonance. Find a glowing white dot marked as a fishing spot near water—often on docks, beaches, or spots marked with fish icons on your map.
Equip your fishing pole and bait, then cast your line into the water. Watch for your bobber to waver, indicating a bite. After a few bobs, an exclamation point will appear—click the reel-in button.
The minigame is divided into three parts. Be attentive to the position of the fish and your bobber. You need to keep the line tight without letting it slack, or the fish could escape. Once the fish enters the same zone as your pole, hold down the reel-in button to pull it closer, moving the fish icon left on the progress bar. When it’s fully to the left, you’ve successfully caught your fish.
What to Do with Your Fish
The fish you catch can be used in many ways. You can sell them for Luno or use them to progress in certain life skills. Catching fish is beneficial for earning Fishing Milestone Rewards, so check in each time you level up to claim prizes.
Boosting Your Skills
Fishing also helps develop other skills:
- Alchemy: Catching scallops is good for gathering materials like Chitin Fiber, useful for crafting at your homestead. You can buy scallops, but catching them yourself is cheaper and raises your fishing level.
- Botany: With enough practice, you’ll catch rarer fish without needing Focus at higher levels. Raw Fish Meat from Pale Blue Fish and Tris Sea Fish can be used for cooking recipes that give powerful combat boosts.
- Cooking: Many recipes require fish or scallops. Catching your ingredients is a cost-effective way to level up cooking while getting better gear and boosts.
Selling Your Catch
If you have more fish than you can use or want to earn some extra Luno, there are options:
- Sell your ingredients like Raw Fish Meat or Scallops to other players via the Trading Center.
- Use your fish for Guild Cargo if available—loading them into the Guild Freight can earn you rewards.
- Return ocean garbage to the Ocean Garbage Recycler in Asterleeds. Contributing trash can earn you Luno (Bound).
Fishing is a versatile activity that helps you advance multiple aspects of the game while providing a steady source of income.
