Fishing
Fishing is the central activity in Mollybot. Every cast produces a catch, which you sell for coins. Better bait and better rods produce higher-rarity, higher-value fish.
The cast
Section titled “The cast”Run /fish cast to fish. You can optionally specify a water type and a bait:
water—freshfor freshwater,saltfor saltwater. Different fish species appear in each habitat. Defaults to freshwater.bait— the name of the bait to use. Defaults to the cheapest bait you have in stock.
There is a cooldown between casts. The embed will tell you how long to wait if you cast too soon.
Rarity
Section titled “Rarity”Every fish has a rarity tier. From lowest to highest:
| Rarity | Stars |
|---|---|
| Common | 1 |
| Uncommon | 2 |
| Rare | 3 |
| Epic | 4 |
| Legendary | 5 |
Rarity affects base sell value. Better bait shifts the distribution toward higher rarities.
Mutations
Section titled “Mutations”Some catches have a mutation, which modifies the fish’s stats:
| Mutation | Effect |
|---|---|
| Giant | 3x weight |
| Shiny | 5x sell value |
| Albino | 1.5x sell value |
| Shadow | 2x sell value |
| Spotted | 1.2x sell value |
A mutated catch shows the mutation as a separate field in the cast embed. The sell value displayed already includes the mutation multiplier.
Sell value
Section titled “Sell value”Sell value is determined by the fish’s base value, its weight relative to the species min and max, and any mutation multiplier. Heavier fish are worth more within their species. The value of your equipped rod is also baked in at cast time, so swapping rods after catching a fish does not change what you get for it.
Managing your inventory
Section titled “Managing your inventory”/fish inventoryshows your current catches, paginated. The footer shows how many coins the current page is worth./fish sellwith no ID sells everything at once. You will be asked to confirm before the sale goes through./fish sell id:F-00042sells a specific catch. You can use the short format (42) or the full format (F-00042)./fish view id:F-00042shows full details for a specific catch without selling it.
/fish bait shows your current bait stock and quantities.
/shop bait name:Worm amount:10 buys bait. Use /fish shop to browse available bait types and their rarity effects before buying.
Compendium
Section titled “Compendium”/fish log shows your fish compendium: every species you have caught and their stats. You can filter by rarity, habitat, and catch status (caught or not yet caught).
Rod bonuses
Section titled “Rod bonuses”Your equipped rod provides stat bonuses that are applied at cast time. See the Mining and Crafting guide for how to obtain and equip rods.
