In the vast world of the mobile game "The Great Night Watchman," besides intense combat and mind-bending case solving, fishing is also a fun and engaging activity. Many players are puzzled by the fishing methods in "The Great Night Watchman," which not only provide a relaxing break from the thrilling adventures but also bring practical rewards that help with character development. Before diving into the specifics of how to fish, let's get to know this game first.

"The Great Night Watchman" is a free-spirited, fantasy martial arts-themed MMORPG, built upon the original story. It offers an open world where there are no fixed class restrictions, allowing players to freely mix and match roles such as warriors, scholars, and mages, enjoying exhilarating battles. The game meticulously recreates classic scenes like the Haogqi Tower and the Astronomical Bureau, with weather and day-night systems making the world of "The Great Night Watchman" even more vibrant. Players can delve into mysterious cases alongside Xu Qian, explore the wilderness, mine, gather, challenge powerful bosses, forge their own mighty weapons, and trade freely at the auction house, experiencing a rich and colorful life in the martial world.

When players feel tired from the intense and exciting adventures, they might want to pick up a fishing rod and enjoy some leisurely fishing time. To start fishing in "The Great Night Watchman," the player's character needs to reach level 15 or higher and complete the prerequisite tasks for life gathering. Once these conditions are met, the peaceful and relaxing world of fishing will be unlocked. After unlocking the fishing feature, opening a fishing ground is a crucial step. In the game, fishing grounds are divided into different levels; the higher the level, the greater the chance of catching rare high-level fish, but it also consumes more stamina.

"To do a good job, one must first sharpen his tools," and fishing gear is naturally essential. Fishing rods and bait can be purchased from the in-game store or obtained by completing quests. Different rods are suitable for different environments and target fish. For example, in fast-flowing waters, a sturdier and more resilient rod is needed, while for small fish, a lighter and more sensitive rod is more appropriate. At the same time, the choice of bait is also very important. Different types of fish have different preferences for bait. Some fish prefer worm bait, while others are fond of small fish bait. Using the right bait can greatly increase the success rate of fishing.

In the world of "The Great Night Watchman," rivers, lakes, and oceans are scattered throughout, each with different types and quantities of fish. Generally, places with gentle, clear water are more likely to attract fish, making them good spots for fishing. Scenic and expansive locations like Wangluo Lake often yield many rare fish. Additionally, fish are more active during dawn or dusk, making these times ideal for fishing, often resulting in richer catches. Sunny weather is also better for fishing than rainy days. Patience and skill are equally important when fishing. When you feel a fish biting, don't rush to reel in; wait until the fish has fully swallowed the bait and the float shows a clear dip or violent shaking before quickly reeling in. The speed of reeling in should also be well-controlled; too fast and the fish might escape, too slow and you might miss your chance. Adjusting the angle of the fishing rod at the right time can also increase the success rate of fishing.

The game also features special items that can enhance fishing efficiency. A float can accurately sense when a fish bites, and a bait enhancer can make ordinary bait more attractive. After accumulating 9,999 fish, players can earn the title of "Fishing King," which, when equipped, further increases fishing efficiency. Fish in the game are categorized into white, green, blue, purple, and gold grades. Gold-grade fish have high market value, but it's not recommended to sell them directly, as they are often used as important materials for crafting skill books, etc. Keeping them for future use can maximize their value.
