How to Fish in Slayers 2 (October 2026) All Rods & Bait

Fishing in Slayers 2 unlocks at Level 45 once you hand a Fishing Permit to Dock Master Sofen in Mistfall Harbor. I’ve compiled the whole chain below: start with the Basic Rod, upgrade to the Rare Rod by catching 5 Golden Fish, then earn the Legendary Rod to farm items and ores instead of fish.

Slayers 2 Fishing Guide

How to Unlock Fishing?

Reach Level 45, travel to Mistfall Harbor, and talk to Dock Master Sofen. He wants a Fishing Permit before you can fish or buy a rod.

1. Find the permit papers on top of wooden crates near a building across the docks.
2. Hand them to Sofen.
3. Buy your first rod from Fisherman Jeso nearby.

Heads up: one source reports a 5,000 Wen quest fee at launch, so carry spare Wen.

All Fishing Rods

Basic Rod (3,500 Wen): No buffs, but you need it for the Drowned Lure step. Use it to catch 5 Golden Fish, then return to Jeso for the Rare Rod (10,000 Wen).

How to Get the Legendary Fishing Rod?

You can’t buy it. Complete this chain instead:

1. Get the Drowned Lure: Ask Sofen for the hint, then fish from the small ledge opposite the water vent near the red bridge. Use the Basic Rod with no bait. It usually drops around your 5th or 6th catch.
2. Meet the Ghost Fisherman: Go under the red bridge. He wants 2 Crustadon and 2 Krahuon, both Legendary fish. I’d use the Rare Rod with Shark Head bait at the same ledge.
3. Fish at Butterfly Estate: Hand over the fish, then head to the tree beside the small waterfall. Equip the Drowned Lure as your bait on the Rare Rod and keep casting until the rod drops.

Pro tip: If nothing happens, check that the lure is actually equipped as bait and that you’re at the right ledge.

You also unlock the Legendary Fisherman title: 1.07x Fishing Luck, 1.05x Bite Speed, and 1.06x Breath Duration. Keep it equipped.

How to Get Bait?

Speak to Baitmonger Nori in Hidden Mist Village. Nori sends you to Shiori at Butterfly Estate, who wants 10 Health Elixirs, 10 Health Regen Elixirs, and 10 Stamina Elixirs. Return to Nori to open the shop.

Jeso also sells Worms, and a pack of 50 costs 200 Wen. I’d grab the pack for long sessions.

How the Fishing Minigame Works?

Equip a rod, cast near water, and wait for a bite. Keep the green bar inside the moving white bar until progress hits 100%. Better rods and bait make it easier. Run about 10 practice casts before judging your drop rates.

What Is Fishing Used For?

Selling fish is decent early, but quests pay more later. The real value is the Legendary Rod’s drops: Mythical Ores, Metal Scraps, and Silk Threads.

How to Refine Fishing Rods?

Visit Rifer Hagane in Hidden Mist Village and pay Wen plus ores. Refinement only raises Luck, not Bite Speed, and higher levels need rarer ores like Mythical Ores. One source lists the Legendary Rod going from +0.5 to +0.7 Luck at +5, with success dropping to 51% on the final step.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Buying the Rare Rod before covering your Breathing trainer costs.
• Using bait during the Drowned Lure step.
• Skipping Nori’s elixir errand, then wondering why bait is locked.
