Fishing Profession

Battlegrounds 2.0 Unique Feature: Profession System

🎣 Fishing Profession

Fishing is one of the three Profession Systems that can be done on the Savage Coast.

Fishing allows you to catch different sea creatures, which are used in crafting Tonics. For more details, see the Tonic System section.

💡 Tip: It’s highly recommended to start with Foraging first, at least until you receive a Combination Kit.
