If you’re wondering if *Rune Slayer* qualifies as an MMORPG, the answer, my friend, is a resounding yes—because it has fishing! Okay, jokes aside, let's dive into how to actually fish in *Rune Slayer*. It's not exactly intuitive, but we've cracked the code (pun intended!), and we're here to share the secrets.

Before you cast your line, you'll need to accept a quest. Find Simon the Fisherman (the white-haired NPC near the Barracuda swimming area). He'll task you with catching five "fish," rewarding you with a Tackle Box upon completion. We'll explain the quotation marks later.
To catch those fish, you'll need a fishing rod and bait. Conveniently, Simon sells both. Grab a Wood Fishing Rod and at least five Worms (ten is recommended). Important note: you don't equip the bait; it simply needs to be in your inventory. Each successful catch (or junk catch!) consumes one worm. Interestingly, it seems you need at least five worms in your inventory to even start catching anything. Consider placing your worms in your hotbar for easy tracking.
How to Catch Fish in Rune Slayer
- Select your Wood Fishing Rod (you don't equip it, just have it in your hotbar).
- Hold down M1 to cast your line into the water (the pier by Simon works perfectly).
- Watch the bobber. When it ripples (once or twice), click M1 again to reel in your catch.
It's not a guaranteed success. You might catch nothing, or you might catch junk. The good news? Simon counts junk as a catch (hence the "fish" quotation marks earlier). Simply repeat the process until you've caught five items, fish or otherwise.
Once you have five catches, return to Simon to complete the quest. He'll give you a Tackle Box; use it to store any remaining worms, freeing up valuable inventory space.
That's it! Happy fishing! Need more Rune Slayer help? Check out our Ultimate Beginner's Guide.
