Fish Guide
Last Update: April 17, 2025
We've revamped the Fish Guide to bring more fun to those adventurers who love fishing.
Landing a massive catch that others haven't or catching a rare fish can be a fisher's badge of honor. We hope our adventurers can create their own proud memories while enjoying fishing in Black Desert, so we have prepared this.
