Understanding fishing mechanics in Duckov is crucial for progression. To achieve long-term success, focus on learning optimal strategies. Let’s explore the core elements.

Key Points:

• Locations of aquatic resources
• Bait varieties and functions
• Catch mechanics
• Environmental factors affecting success

Accessing the Fishing Mechanic

To begin aquatic resource gathering, players must first activate the fishing system through early game progression. Here’s the activation process:

• Construct primary crafting station
• Unlock secondary progression tier via upgrades
• Fabricate angling tool (Components: Wood x2, Metal x1)
• Assign tool to combat slot
• Apply attractants from inventory

With essential tools prepared, locating viable aquatic zones becomes the next objective. The collection process involves:

• Identifying marked water access points
• Activating interaction prompt
• Monitoring concentric indicators
• Executing capture command during alignment
• Receiving collection confirmation

Aquatic Resource Zones

This section details known collection areas within initial gameplay regions. Updates may follow as new zones are discovered.

Sheltered Water Access

• Secure practice environment with minimal threats
• Limited biodiversity due to artificial habitat
• Recommended for initial skill development

Northern Elevated Zone

• Low-threat external environment
• Proximity to fast travel nodes
• Contains environmental data logs

Challenging Southern Access

• High-difficulty combat zone
• Contains premium aquatic specimens
• Requires enhanced gear for safety
