Wow, I couldn't believe my eyes when the Tides of Terraria update dropped! As a long-time Palworld player, this crossover felt like Christmas came early. The new fishing mechanics? Absolute game-changer, folks. Gone are the days when oceans were just pretty backgrounds – now they're teeming with opportunities to snag rare Pals and loot. Seriously, after battling Terraria bosses, chilling with a fishing rod feels like the perfect way to unwind. Who knew I'd be shouting 'Fish on!' more than 'Pal attack!' these days?

ðŸŽĢ Crafting Your Fishing Arsenal

First things first: you ain't catching squat without a rod. All rods get crafted at the Production Assembly Line, and there are three tiers:

Rod Type Level Materials Needed
Beginner Fishing Set 15 10 Paldium Fragments, 8 Pal Fluids, 8 Ingots, 8 Fiber
Intermediate Rod 28 30 Paldium Fragments, 10 High Quality Pal Oil, 10 Cement, 30 Fiber
Advanced Rod 45 70 Paldium Fragments, 20 High Quality Pal Oil, 15 Pal Metal Ingots, 30 Carbon Fiber

The Advanced Rod is totally worth the grind – hooking Terraria-exclusive Pals becomes a breeze!

Don't even think about skimping on bait! Simple Bait unlocks with your first rod, but upgrade ASAP:

  • Simple Bait (Level 1): 2 Pal Fluids + 4 Red Berries + 2 Flour

  • High Quality Bait (Level 22): 3 Pal Fluids + 4 Tomato + 3 Flour

  • Deluxe Bait (Level 38): 4 High Quality Pal Oil + 4 Onions + 3 Carrots + 4 Flour
