Genshin Impact has added fishing to the game and players can now wander around Teyvat in search of fish to trade for rewards. These trades are made at the Fishing Association in each region, which sounds incredibly grand, but is in fact just an NPC chilling out on the coast.

In this quick guide we show you where each Fishing Association is located, the rewards they offer, and the fish you'll need to catch in order to make a trade.

Updated November 12, 2022, By Helen Ashcroft: With the addition of Inazuma we now have a brand-new region and Fishing Association. This guide has been updated to add this new NPC as well as make all the information easier to understand. It also includes details of the Fishing Line Stabiliser that was added in Version 3.0 and is now available from all Fishing Association merchants. As with other Fishing Associations, Sumeru also offers rewards for trading in fish unique to its shores.

Where To Find The Mondstadt Fishing Association

Each region's Fishing Association is run by an NPC near the capital city. In Mondstadt, that NPC is Nantuck.

To find Nantuck simply head out of the main gates of Mondstadt City and turn left. He can be found just along the coast on the city side of the bridge.

Alternatively, use the Eastern city waypoint. From here you can head down the ramp to Hertha, Coordinator of the Knights of Favonius, the NPC who gives out Mondstadt reputation requests. Exit the city by the entrance Guy is guarding and turn right. Nantuck is on the beach just behind the tree in front of you.

What You Can Buy At The Mondstadt Fishing Association

The Mondstadt Fishing Association is where you learn to fish. Nantuck will give you your first fishing rod and the recipe for fruit paste bait. You'll also be able to buy an upgraded fishing rod, which offers a boost when catching fish in the Mondstadt region. Alongside this are three recipes for the other types of bait and the new fishing line stabilizers.

Fishing Line Stabilizer

The fishing line stabilizer helps increase the speed and efficiency of fishing, based on the number of that type of fish caught. The buffs offered by the fishing line stabilizer are:

• No power (0 to 3 fish caught): Nothing changes.
• Low power (4 to 15 fish caught): Fishing is slightly faster. Loss of progress outside the Ideal Tension Zone moderately reduced.
• Full power (16+ fish caught): Fishing is moderately faster. Outside the Ideal Tension Zone, progress still increases.

Where To Find The Liyue Fishing Association

Liyue's Fishing Association is located on the end of the pier at the South-East of Liyue Harbor.

It's led by Jiawei, who you can find by using the Southern-most waypoint in the city and making your way down past the Adventurer's Guild and Blacksmith before heading straight on towards the large archway. You'll want to go under the arch down the right-hand pier.

What You Can Buy At The Liyue Fishing Association

Liyue's Fishing Association sells just three items. The first is Wishmaker, a fishing rod that will shorten catch time in Liyue and make fishing easier. The second is the Pool of Sapphire Grace. This is a blueprint that enables you to craft an ornamental pond for your Serenitea Pot. Finally, you can also pick up a fishing line stabilizer.

Pool Of Sapphire Grace

The Pool of Sapphire Grace is an ornamental fish pond for your Serenitea Pot. Once you have learned the recipe, it can be crafted using eight Fragrant Cedar Wood and four White Iron Chunks and will take 16 hours to complete.

After crafting you can place it in your Serenitea Pot and approach it to get a 'Raise Fish' option. Once this is clicked you can choose up to five ornamental fish that you've caught to display in the pond.

Where To Find The Inazuma Fishing Association

Inazuma's Fishing Association is an NPC named Kujirai Momiji who is on the outskirts of the Inazuma City by the shore.

You'll need to go to the waypoint on Narukami Island between Inazuma City and Amakane Island, where the main island of Narukami narrows. Once there just head West, and you'll see her just over the small hill in front of you by the shore.

What You Can Buy At The Inazuma Fishing Association

Kujirai Momiji sells four items in total. These comprise a fishing rod, a polearm, and refinement material for the polear as well as the fishing line stabilizer. Each requires a different number of specific fish.

The Catch - Polearm

This four-star polearm was made with Raiden Shogun in mind but can be useful for other polearm users as well. It's an easy-to-access weapon with the following statistics at refinement rank one.

• Energy Recharge 10%
• Base Attack 42
• Shanty: Increases Elemental Burst Damage by 16% and Elemental Burst Crit Rate by 6%

Ako's Sake Vessel

Ako's Sake Vessel is the refinement material for The Catch and can also be purchased from Kujirai Momiji in order to refine your polearm up to rank five. Each material costs 3 Raimei Angelfish, 10 Pufferfish, and 10 Bitter Pufferfish.

Where To Find The Sumeru Fishing Association

The Sumeru fishing association NPC is Loumelat, who is based in the Andravi Valley region of Sumeru.

Unlike the other fishing associations, the Sumeru one isn't based in the capital city. Instead, you'll need to get over to Port Ormos, which is South of Sumeru City by the mouth of the river.

To get there take the waypoint closest the bridge in Port Ormos. From here either jump off the platform or take the stairs down. You'll want to stay on the West coast and walk North up the river. Just follow the wooden path closest to the river.

You'll go past some piers and boats before you notice a Waverider point just ahead on the opposite bank. As this comes into view so does the fishing association logo. You'll see Loumelat standing on a rock just off the main path.

What You Can Buy At The Sumeru Fishing Association

The Sumeru fishing association has the most items for sale, and they include a furnishing blueprint, weapon, fishing rod, and new bait recipe.These are complimented by the fishing line stabilizer.

End Of The Line - Bow

This four-star bow is a high energy recharge weapon designed for Dendro bow users, Collei and Tahighari.

• Energy Recharge 10%
• Base Attack 42
• Net Snapper: Triggers the Flowrider effect after using an Elemental Skill, dealing 80% attack as AoE damage upon hitting an opponent with an attack. Flowrider will be removed after 15s or after causing 3 instances of AoE damage. Only 1 instance of AoE damage can be caused every 2s in this way. Flowrider can be triggered once every 12s.

Original Fish Ointment

Original Fish Ointment is the refinement material for End of the Line and is used to refine your bow up to rank five. Each material costs half of the weapon cost, specifically 2 Peach of the Deep Waves, and 8 each of Lazurite and Halcyon Jade Axe Marlins.

Where To Find Ornamental Fish

Ornamental fish are rare versions of regular fish. When approaching a fishing spot if you see a blue pillar of light this means that there are ornamental fish in this location. They cannot be traded since they count as furnishing items.

You'll be able to spot the ornamental fish easily since they often jump out of the water, unlike regular fish. To catch them simply use the same bait you would usually. The only difference is that sometimes you'll need to reel them in for a little longer, so having the region-specific fishing rods can help with this.

How To Add Ornamental Fish To Your Pond

Once you've caught the fish and crafted the Pool of Sapphire Grace or Shaded Clarity, you'll need to place the pond down in your Serenitea Pot. Next, simply walk up to the water, and you will see a Raise Fish option appear. Click this and select the ornamental fish you want to add.

At this point, fish appear to be decorative only with no other use and will not breed.
