Project Slayers 2 Fishing Guide
Fishing in Project Slayers 2 is both a Wen money method and the path to the legendary fishing rod. You unlock it with a rod plus a permit stamp, improve your haul with bait and luck, and chase the legendary rod through a quest line most guides call the “legendary rod puzzle.” This page pulls the verified, English-subtitled walkthroughs into one place.
How to Unlock Fishing
Four steps decide whether you can fish at all: get the rod, complete the permit errand, understand the rod tiers, and know where the legendary rod comes from.
You start by getting a fishing rod from the relevant vendor. Creators walk through buying the rod and then actually using it to fish, so the rod is the entry item rather than something you are handed at spawn.
Several walkthroughs describe a fishing permit and a permit stamp: you locate the stamp, bring it to the right NPC, and that step opens up fishing properly. It is a short errand, not a long quest chain on its own.
There are multiple rod tiers — basic, rare and legendary. The basic rod is what you start with; upgrading or questing moves you up the tiers, and the legendary rod is treated as the end-goal catch tool rather than a shop purchase.
The legendary fishing rod is tied to a quest line (creators refer to it as Shiori's quest line) that involves bait, luck and a multi-step puzzle. It is the longest fishing grind, which is why most "best fishing guide" videos center on it.
The rod/permit/legendary-rod details are transcript-derived from September-October 2026 community videos (English auto-subtitles). The exact NPC, stamp spot and quest tuning are patch-sensitive, so reconfirm them in the live client before you commit to a long grind.
Bait, Luck & a Stable Catch
Once you can fish, the yield is driven by bait and luck, not just time spent. Walkthroughs show bait changing what you can pull in (a “head bait” is singled out for a better catch) and luck raising your catch level so legendary fish show up more often. The mechanical tip that repeats across the macro guides is to keep the reel steady in the water and only input the rod key on a stable catch— a wild swing can cost the fish.
AFK Macro Setup
Multiple October 2026 guides publish a fishing macro that loops the cast-and-reel input so you accumulate catches hands-free. The dependable version watches for a stable catch and only fires the rod key then; one creator ran a 10-hour AFK session to show the volume you can bank. Use macros at your own risk and only in ways the game allows.
- Bring bait. Walkthroughs show bait directly affecting what you can catch, and a "head bait" is called out for boosting the catch.
- Stack luck. Creators describe a higher catch level and more frequent legendary fish as a luck effect, so a luck/intelligence setup is worth building before a long session.
- Make the catch stable. Macro guides stress keeping the reel steady in the water and only inputting the rod key on a stable catch — a wild swing (one creator compares it to reeling in a C'thun) can cost the fish.
- Use an AFK macro for volume. The macro setups loop the cast-and-reel input so you accumulate catches hands-free; several creators ran 10-hour AFK sessions to show the payoff.
- Sell what you do not need. Fishing is a Wen source — the catches are what you liquidate, so fish for the materials or rods you are short on and sell the rest.

Best fishing guide (midnyte)
- Buys a rod, then shows using it to actually catch — the rod is the entry item, not a spawn gift.
- Frames the legendary rod as a luck play: a higher catch level means legendary fish appear more often.
- Points to Shiori's quest line as the legendary rod path and walks the associated puzzle.
All rod tiers (Builderboy TV)
- Lists the three rod tiers — basic, rare and legendary — and how to reach each.
- Upgrading your rod improves it; the legendary rod comes from a quest, not just a purchase.
- Notes some rods exist only for the quest, so do not sell them by mistake.
Macro + max luck (midnyte)
- Builds a luck/intelligence setup and uses a head bait for a better catch.
- Inputs the rod key only when the reel is steady in the water for a clean hook.
Macro setup (1vtt)
- Places the macro input at the bottom-left and loops the cast after each catch.
- Keeps the catch stable so it does not swing wildly (compares a C'thun pull to a violent reel).
Get the rod (Kingkade)
- Shortest path: get the rod, then find the permit stamp.
- Hand the stamp to the NPC to finish unlocking fishing.
10-hour AFK result (revolver agz)
- Runs a 10-hour AFK fishing session to show the accumulated haul.
- References a quest (around 2,500) and a “drowning man” bait on the road to the legendary rod.

Fishing FAQ
How to fish in Slayers 2?
Unlock fishing first: get a rod from the vendor, find the permit stamp and hand it to the fishing quest NPC. After that, cast from a valid water spot with bait equipped, keep the reel steady and only press the rod key on a stable catch. The exact stamp spot and quest NPC are patch-sensitive, so confirm both in the live client before planning a long session.
How do you unlock fishing in Project Slayers 2?
Get a fishing rod from the vendor, then complete the permit step: find the permit stamp and hand it to the NPC the guide points you to. After that you can fish. The exact NPC and stamp location shift between patches, so confirm them in the live client.
Where is the permit stamp in Project Slayers 2?
The permit stamp sits behind the house near Docmaster Sophen, the fishing quest NPC. Pick it up and hand it to him to finish unlocking fishing. The exact spot is patch-sensitive, so confirm it in the live client.
How do you get the legendary fishing rod?
Not a straight purchase. It sits at the end of a quest chain rather than in a shop, and the reason guides spend so long on it is the chain, not the rod: bait, luck and a multi-step puzzle all gate the same reward. Start the chain deliberately rather than fitting it around a casual session.
What does bait do in Slayers 2 fishing?
Bait changes what you can catch. Creators show a head bait improving the catch and describe luck as raising your catch level so legendary fish appear more often. Bring the right bait before a long session rather than fishing bare.
Is there an AFK fishing macro?
Yes — multiple October 2026 guides publish macro setups that loop the cast and reel input so you fish hands-free. The reliable version keeps the reel steady in the water and only triggers the rod key on a stable catch. Use macros at your own risk and in line with the game's rules.
Why bother fishing at all?
Fishing is a Wen and rare-material source. You liquidate catches for Wen and fish for specific rods or materials you are missing, so it doubles as both a money method and a progression path for the legendary rod.
