Fishing
Fishing is an activity in VulcanVerse that any player can enjoy. It requires a fishing rod and can be enhanced with the use of bait.
Fishing Basics
All VulcanVerse players, whether land owners or Cedalions are able to visit any of VulcanVerse's waterways including the ocean, to fish. To be able to fish, a player will need to equip their avatar with a fishing rod. At present, there are 4 NFT fishing rods available:
Each fishing rod is available for a specific quadrant. A player is able to own as many of these NFT fishing rods as they want. A 5th fishing rod that is valid in all 4 quadrants is also available, though the owner will also require an OG Badge to be able to use it.
Fishing has a 2-hour cooldown per rod and expends between 1 and 3 fish bait if purchased from a fishmonger. It takes between 4–20 seconds for a fish to take the bait.
After a fish is hooked, a bar pops on the screen, amplifying the player’s rewards depending on the success of a minigame, keeping a line inside a moving bar for 5 seconds. Depending on the success of the minigame, the chances for more significant and valuable fish are increased.
VulcanVerse's Native Fish
There are many fish in VulcanVerse's watercourses and oceans. Some of these are quadrant specific.

- Arcadia — Rainbow Fish.
- Boreas — Silverfish
- Notus — Sunfire Fish

It is rumored some legendary fish exist somewhere inside VulcanVerse.
Fishing has no “fail chance,” even when the multiplier is 0. It awards 1–3XP, depending on the size of the fish caught.
Fishmongers
Fishmongers are NPCs located in each quadrant. Visit them to buy lures, bait, and rods. Names and locations of fishmongers are as follows:
- Boreas: Garos the fishmonger, is located inside the Great Sinkhole in the middle of Boreas. That’s under the Fortress of the Wind.
- Hades: Inside the building in Hades Harbour, looking at the entrance, you’ll find Manos.
- Arcadia: Standing between fishing stands inside Arcadia Harbour in north Arcadia is Phainos.
- Notus: Glaukos is standing near the fish stands inside Notus Harbour.
A fifth fishmonger will be added to VulcanVerse, based in Vulcan City, at a future date.
Fish Gutting
Once in the player’s inventory, fish can be gutted by the fishmonger NPC to get Cold $LAVA and in-game items from 2 separate loot tables. Gutting a fish costs Cold $LAVA awards, 1 XP per fish rarity gutted, and gives the following rewards.
For gutting, players need to get an X amount of fish. Fish Gutted (X) | XP (Y) 1–3 | 10 4–6 | 15 7–9 | 20 Reward: Y XP
