@@SpazzyjonesGaming I just caught one today. Had to mash e when it was on my line above the water line. I wasn't able to reel it in on my own, but my skill was low and my diet was onion soup, bread, and blood pud. mine is a pike
@@SpazzyjonesGaming I also just caught one. Quality 5 perch by having around 170 stamina and fishing LVL6. One you have to do is to go back while you are pulling. When you do this the fish will escape but it would be already on shore and you can pick it up.
2:45 I have actually caught a level 5 Grouper fish. Wasn't using any mods/cheats or any changes to world settings. I was building an island base in a plains biome but it's surrounded by Ocean. Fish wash up on the island regularly because of the waves and I saw this massive Grouper and was shocked when I picked it up. I have it hanging on display in my base lol, it's too precious to eat!
It´s one of those things i will propably never craft. If i am able to catch every fish there is in all biomes, wich i need to craft the hat, i already have more fish than i will ever need. And tbh i can´t imagine that changing with the Ashlands update. Unless all new Ashlands food is fish based. Wich would be weird for that biome.
First time fishing in valheim caught qual 5 trollfish then went the next day and caught a qual 5 pike. Super hard to catch and it drains your stamina instantly. I was lucky to find them out on a karve and they’re pretty easy to spot considering how large they are. If you do manage to see one, it’ll probably be the only qual 5 fish in the area you’re in.
I found a 5 Star Coral Cod. It was humongous. Currently I am actively trying to catch all 5 Star fishes so Incan display them all together. Would love to finish it one day. 🙊
I came across the tetra pond in my first play through, they were just jumping out of the water at me, got loads and didn't even need to get my rod out it was like 8 or something. xD
Reeling without a fish and having the rested buff I find to gain xp faster. There's no down time in waiting for the fish to bite and not to mention you will save 10's of thousands in coin from buying bait by the time you reach lvl 100. I think it would be better to eat what you catch rather than play catch and release to boost xp.
Although I'll second that by saying after you go through all the grinding of getting your hands on the trophies and crafting the bait THEN managing to actually real one in... it is super rewarding😅
Thanks - I had never heard of the fishing hat. You didn't mention that you were wearing the cap and tunic from Hildir which gives a combined decrease in stamina usage of 35%.
Hildirs stamina buff doesn't apply to fishing. It only applies when you are using the hammer, and hoe! I was testing if it applies to fishing while capturing footage for the video and proved it doesn't. But yeah, that's why I'm wearing it in the video
I must have been tricked by the high level stamina food I was eating. In any case, we got the hats today (myself and a teammate). Mine gives +19 swim & +20 fishing, my teammate gives +19 for both, so something strange there. I stocked our swimming pool with Perch & Pike to make the fish farm - had around 20 in there. Surprised to find one morning that there were 2 perch and 3 pike! Turns out they had stacked like they do in inventory, except in the water. I can understand this for wood or rocks etc, but not for fish. We sometimes had a helicopter effect - the fish on the line spinning around our heads at high speed. Not sure if this is a known issue, but has to be a bug. I also watched a fishing video where it said that it doesn't matter where you cast, you won't lose your bait if a fish doesn't bite - he demonstrated by casting on land. I tried this and on the first cast I landed a level 1 pike - yes - when casting on land! I was near the fish farm so this will be where the fish came from, but I had cast in the opposite direction and was about 20m away. Also, the fish came straight out of the ground in front of me. So I tried a few more times and caught a level 3 pike. At least this time the line went all the way back to the fish farm. Very strange behaviour. @@SpazzyjonesGaming
I have seen and caught some quality 5 fish but not all types of fish have it. I believe I caught a lvl 5 Pike, perch, Tuna, coral cod and magma fish. only seen lvl 4 troll fish, salmon, herring and grouper, as for tetra, angler and pufferfish I've never seen one above lvl 2
It would be nice to acquire the hat earlier to assist with catching all the fish, even if it was an NPC quest. By the time I got the materials for this hat, I would be sick of fishing.
so far ive gotten a level 5 puffer level 5 northern salmon and a level 5 pike. the only fish im uncertain of is terra ive only seen in the wild or on the discord is level 3
Managed to get a level 5 coral cod. Tetra are very weird, I caught some lvl1s however they didn't seem to respawn. Might need a new cave/world as there was issues when the fishing update first dropped.
Hey, when i was trying to throw fish back into the water, they were inactive. just floating like objects. Are they truly catchable again? If so, i could make a pond at my base with all fish in it
They will begin swimming again once they land in the water. You can absolutely make a pond at your base! Just make sure you have a workbench nearby so they don't despaw
In this game lots of things are dumb! Fishing hat is usless till the end of the game. Why would I craft it if I'm already a fishing level so high "Fishing hat is an armor piece which can be crafted and upgraded at the Workbench. It provides a +20 skill bonus to Fishing and Swimming." "Players need to catch every single kind of fish from all existing biomes (from Meadows to Deep North) in order to craft the fishing hat. A player who wishes to craft and upgrade the hat to rank 4 requires a total of seven of each kind of fish. Any quality level of fish may be used to craft it."
@SpazzyjonesGaming I could send you my screen cap if you want it lol maybe feature it in a video if you want. Also the trick is to snag the fish as it's right under your boat and then spam E.
it is tricky. You basically want to place the lure as close to shore as possible to reduce how far you have to pull them in. Also, when they are trashing its best to stop reeling in and wait for them to stop thrashing (i think this helps)
@@SpazzyjonesGaming yeah, i have had a suspicion about the splashing to be part of the mechanisms but never gotten a good feel about it matters or not.
I've heard a few people complaining about this. This video was made before the Ashlands update and I think something maybe broke the spawning of them since. Im going to guess it will be fixed but yeah, its my guess there may be a bug preventing their spawn since the update
Honestly, fishing is clearly an unpolished skill, I wish they would have taken more time fleshing out the feature and only then adding it. Finding the stupid merchant is such a drag to begin with, I find Haldor in 2 out of 10 playthroughs at best!
Personally I don't think so. The only fish I find worth catching is the angler fish for the best stamina food in the game but thats a super late game food
@@SpazzyjonesGaming it also can talk to you. Whtn you put in on an item stand. It was night i just woke up and was near it, at one point text appeared... It said something like return me back..
ah man,... why did they have to make that recipe so annoying now i gotta go out lookin for a sea serpent to get the trophy, yuck i hate those things XD
did you count rested effect giving 50% xp gain boost for the time to max the skill
No i don't think I did. Great catch! That would help immensely
@@SpazzyjonesGaming noob
@@tannenbaum3807 what do you know bruh
I recall finding a Level 5 perch on a shore. I put it on an item stand. It was like 2m long. Correction - 4m long.
Its funny most people who have found a quality 5 find them on shore not caught. Weird

Currently working towards this. Looks like a good way to level up the skill fast.Thanks for sharing.

I completely understand. It's more of a completionist type item than anything else
If you want to catch lvl5 fish, this hat comes handy. They are strong as hell
What ever dude. I want that hat.
@@devintaylor7049 Did you ever get it?
It's useful if you use your character on multiple servers. I bring my solo character to my friend's new world sometimes
Wish they would add new food recipes based on fish types. _Activate your windows_
I agree. If would make fishing much more interesting. You should be rewarded for catching more difficult and rare fish.
Never activating my windows 💪
Been waiting for this one since that stream! Thanks for dropping it for us! 🍻
Heck ya John P!

dang you're luckly. Yeah I can imagine they would be very difficult to reel in
I caught a level 5 pike by pulling it in and having my friend grab it and man it’s massive like the size of 2 people was amazing.
Im jealous! I have never seen one!
I found a 5 Star Coral Cod. It was humongous. Currently I am actively trying to catch all 5 Star fishes so Incan display them all together. Would love to finish it one day. 🙊

Yeah that's happened to be before too. The ponds are so small and they just have nowhere to go but into your hands

thats fair. maybe its possible it could be
I found out about this shortly after mistlands came out. Wonder if it was a bug
Haven’t done a lot of fishing in Valheim but I just might after this video
hell ya brother!
You may reconsider after actually trying it LOL it can be an extremely frustrating process😂
Although I'll second that by saying after you go through all the grinding of getting your hands on the trophies and crafting the bait THEN managing to actually real one in... it is super rewarding😅
nice video! Ive actually gotten lvl5 pufferfish, it was massive (Im 99% sure it was lvl5 but it was some time ago)
lucky dog! its quite possible. The bigger fish get massive!

Interesting..this seems like an unsolved mystery of Valheim. What I find weird is you can only summon up to level 4 fish in devcommands.
I was just deadass walking on a beach when a quality 5 perch was just laying there☠️
Update: I found 7 black cores from my first mine
lucky duck!
Thank you for making a fishing guide this is fantastic
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks ive been needing a good way to level up to catch fish faster!
Nice! Glad it was helpful
Yeah fishing is tedious to level.
i found different lvl5 fishs already, mostl the basic ones like perchs. but i took them all of the ground after a storm. never reeled one in by now
Wow lucky! I've still never seen a level 5. That said I haven't been seeking them out either
I remember joining a friends world and he had a level 5 tetra fish on a display case. I thought it was cheated but it turned out not to be.
crazy! lucky!
It would be nice to acquire the hat earlier to assist with catching all the fish, even if it was an NPC quest. By the time I got the materials for this hat, I would be sick of fishing.
I know right! the best part of the hate is it makes fishing easier but by the time you can craft it you don't even want/need to fish anymore
so far ive gotten a level 5 puffer level 5 northern salmon and a level 5 pike. the only fish im uncertain of is terra ive only seen in the wild or on the discord is level 3
Managed to get a level 5 coral cod. Tetra are very weird, I caught some lvl1s however they didn't seem to respawn. Might need a new cave/world as there was issues when the fishing update first dropped.
So they can be found! Must be incredibly rare, I've never seen one!
That might be the case. The Tetra are strange considering theyre inside a dungeon
We have a level 5 pike on a display. It's MASSIVE.
lucky!
Altho the wiki doesnt say, the pike has two lines.
The one about being on the wall and
"Dont worry, be happy"
Probly a low chance i guess
I actually didn't know that. Good tip
It was ages ago when fishing girst came out
But ive definitely caught (,picked up offbthe shore)
Both pike and tuna in quality 5
Yeah a couple of people have mentioned seeing them. I never have! And as far as I know you can't even spawn them in with cheats
I've caught both a tier 5 angler and puffer. I can't, however, manually spawn them. They'll only be tier 4. It's weird.
yeah there something weird about tier 5
Whoops. I cooked a 5 star pike I found washed up on my first day trying this game out...
oh nooo. you missed out on mad bragging rights
@@SpazzyjonesGaming oh well. I'm sure it digitally tasted good.
First fish my brother and I caught was a 5 star. But I never tried fishing In my solo play through.
wow! lucky
quality 5 fish do exist and ive caught two which were washed up on shore
Thats wild. Ive never seen them
Hey, when i was trying to throw fish back into the water, they were inactive. just floating like objects. Are they truly catchable again?

It's 100% only an item for a completionist of the game. Apart from that I wouldn't bother
First fish i ever caught was a lvl 5 pike. Fkn thing is massive.
you lucky duck!

Also the trick is to snag the fish as it's right under your boat and then spam E.
@@devintaylor7049 all good thanks for the offer though
Is there any trick on when to reel the fish to not use crazy amount of stamina?

i once found level five troll fish.
I'm shocked at how many people have found level 5 fish!

They exist apparently! I've seen 4 myself but never 5. people in the comments have said they have seen 5 though
