Metin2 Fishing Guide: Bait, Cooking, Rare Fish and Profit

Fishing in Metin2 is the patient player’s money machine: a well-tuned loop brings fish, clams and jigsaw chests for hours. This guide walks through every step of the loop and the settings that raise your yield — useful whether you fish by hand or with a Metin2 fishing bot.

The fishing loop

1. Attach bait: no cast without bait. When it runs out you need to buy stacks from the shop.
2. Cast: pick a spot facing the water, away from crowds.
3. Catch the bite: when a fish bites, the minigame box appears; clicking the ring at the right moment lands the catch.
4. Decide: keep the fish, drop it, kill it, cook it or turn it into bait.
5. Make space: when the inventory fills, cook or sell; stacks cap at 200.

Set a rule for every species

The biggest waste is filling your bag with worthless fish. Decide in advance for each species: keep the valuable ones, drop the useless ones, turn into bait what can be used as bait and cook when space runs low. Also decide what to do in the “What will you do with it?” dialog for rare fish, or your loop stalls there.

Cooking and inventory management

As the inventory fills up, cooking fish stack by stack at the campfire frees space. The rule is simple: once full slots pass a threshold, go cook, then return to the water. Skip locked inventory pages and switch to a page with space.

Clams, pearls and the jigsaw chest

The by-products are often worth more than the fish: pearls from clams pile up in storage, and the jigsaw from fish chests gives Medium and Large chests when played well. To lower your average, read our Metin2 jigsaw puzzle guide.

6 tips that raise your yield

• Hop channels: crowded channels cost you spots and attention; switch to a quiet one at intervals.
• Take breaks: non-stop, robotic repetition stands out; short irregular breaks look natural.
• Buy bait ahead: running out and walking to the shop is the biggest time sink.
• Decline trades: requests during farming break the loop.
• Plan for maintenance: if you do not log back in after server maintenance, the night is wasted.
• Keep counts: if you do not know fish per hour, you cannot tell which setting works.

Fishing 24/7 automatically

Doing all of the above by hand for hours is exhausting. DeepCast runs the whole loop: buys bait, casts, catches the bite from the screen, applies your species rules, cooks, solves the jigsaw optimally, hops channels, logs back in after night maintenance and reports everything to Telegram.
