Fishing, Pumping and Reeling

Match your fishing equipment and keep skills in balance.

L2Tools guideUpdated 2026-09-08

Equipment and actions

Learn Fishing, Reeling, Pumping and Fishing Mastery from a Fisherman's Guild Member. Equip a rod appropriate to your character level and a lure. Fishing Shots must match the rod's grade. Use Reeling while the fish struggles and Pumping while it is exhausted; deplete its HP before time runs out.

Mastery and rewards

Reeling or Pumping more than two levels above Fishing Mastery incurs a penalty. Higher mastery brings stronger fish, so develop these skills together. Open caught fish or chests for materials; eligible materials can be exchanged for Proof of Catching a Fish.

Night fishing and deceptive actions

Night fishing uses Luminous Bait from 00:00 to 06:00 in game time; check /time. High-grade fish can become deceptive. Reverse Pumping and Reeling only during that state, not throughout every night catch.

Lowering mastery temporarily

A Fisherman’s Potion lowers mastery for 60 minutes to target lower-level fish; a potion above your mastery has no effect. A Fishing Potion restores the original mastery. These names describe different operations.
