Unlike other MMOs, Lost Ark doesn’t make it known how or where to fish. For a game that appeals to completionists, players have to be losing their minds every time they cross over a lake and haven’t yet been taught how to fish. Don’t fret, it is possible, but not for a while.
Get To Lakebar Village And Talk To Celine
Unfortunately for the over-eager, Lakebar Village won’t be available for quite some time. It’s several hours into the campaign, even with a brisk pace. Upon arriving there, the character will be instructed to talk to Artisan Urr. He’ll give the basics about mining and this unlocks all the other trade skills.

For fishing, just to the northeast of Urr, is Celine, who has a purple icon above her head. During this process, feel free to collect the Mokobo seeds here in Lakebar. From here, players will get a quest that guides them down the path. If Celine is not available yet, be sure to officially complete Urr’s task and turn it back in to him.
Buy The Novice Fishing Pole And Equip It
Even if players already have a pole, they must, unfortunately, buy another one from Nickel to complete this mission. Those who pre-purchased the game will have a pole already. Sadly, even these players will need to buy the pole, it’s not a step that can be skipped.

The good news is that this mission does yield some quick experience, so it’s not a total waste of coins. Nickel is in the southwest part of the village, just on the opposite side of Urr as Celine. Equip the pole and the next phase will pop up on the map.
Fish On The Docks
On the west side of the village, there are some docks. On the map, there is a hook icon to indicate that a player can fish in the area. Go here and press the ‘B’ key to open up the trade skills. By default, float fishing is equipped to the ‘E’ key. Click that and the character is automatically cast the line.
To reel in a fish, press the ‘E’ key again when the bobber goes fully down. Do not be fooled by a slight bob on the line as a fish approaches, the bobber must be fully submerged. Catch three fish successfully, then click on the mission on the right to complete it. Fishing will not be unlocked for the remainder of the game!
Lost Ark was released on December 4th, 2019, and is available on PC.
