Diablo Immortal will now allow players to take some time off trying to kill the forces of hell to go fishing. A good move, considering that all of the best games all you to go fishing.

This will be added to the game in the latest content update. As with previous updates, this will come following server maintenance on the 22nd of February from 8:00 am to 10:00 am MYT.

Starting at Level 43, players will be able to travel to the noxious marshes of Bilefen to begin ‘The Greatest Pastime’ side quest. The goal of the quest is to become the best angler in Sanctuary has seen and catch all the various fish there are.

There are 3 designated Fishing spots in Sanctuary: Ashwold Cemetery, Bilefen, and the Frozen Tundra which are notated by a fish icon in the Zone map. Fishing areas are safe zones, and you cannot be attacked by monsters while inside them.

Going Fishing

In order to go fishing in Diablo Immortal, you first need to buy some bait. Each fishing attempt consumes one piece of bait and only 200 pieces of bait can be purchased each day from a Fisher, and you can hold 100 pieces in your inventory at a time, so cast your line wisely.

After that, you hit the fishing icon, select which part of the lake you’re going to fish at, and get started. A timer will appear at the top of your screen, displaying white, blue, and gold-colored fish icons. As your bobber rests among the water, fish will nibble at it periodically and you’ll notice the timer will slowly begin to fill up, passing by each of the three aforementioned fish icons as it does.

It’s up to you to decide when it’s come to reel the rod in. The longer you allow your bobber to sit in the water however, the higher chance you’ll have of catching a rarer species of fish. Don’t deliberate over when to reel in for too long though, if the timer fills up, the fish will grow restless and disappear. All caught fish will go directly into your inventory.

The Types of Fish

There are 40 unique species of fish, split into five categories of fish: Common, Uncommon, Rare, Legendary, and Mythic. The rarer the fish, the greater the rewards you can exchange them for, including rare items and new aesthetics for your fishing rod.

Within the Bestiary Angler’s Log section is an entry for each fish species, along with the number you’ve caught, the highest weight caught by you, and the highest weight caught on your server. You can even earn rewards for catching a certain amount of specific rare fish.

Diablo Immortal is available for PC and mobile devices.
