AFK Fishing¶
The Skill World fishing docks, on the east of the hub ring, let you train Fishing hands-off. Cast a vanilla rod into the dock water and you can leave it: the dock reels itself.
How it works¶
Cast your bobber into the dock. When it lands you get the message "Sit back and let the fish come to you!" From then on the dock auto-fishes without you reeling: every time the bobber dips on a bite and surfaces again, a catch is launched to you and you get Fishing XP. You can also reel in manually and the catch pays the same tier XP.
There is no level gate on the docks, so any Fishing level can use them.
Dock catches¶
AFK catches are pulled from a weighted loot table by rarity tier. Each tier pays a fixed Fishing XP:
| Tier | XP | Catches |
|---|---|---|
| Junk | 250 | leather, string, bowl, stick, bone, rotten flesh, lily pad |
| Common fish | 400 | cod, salmon |
| Uncommon fish | 600 | tropical fish, pufferfish |
| Treasure | 850 | nautilus shell, name tag, saddle, ink sac |
| Rare Treasure | 1,000 | heart of the sea |
Junk is by far the most common pull and Rare Treasure the rarest. Prestiging Fishing lowers the XP you earn afterward by 5 percent per prestige rank.
How it differs from rod fishing¶
AFK docks are a pure XP grind. Unlike the main Fishing skill, the docks never reel up Pokemon, biome-specific custom fish, Poke Balls, or Mystery Keys, and they award no size or record bonuses. They trade all of that for hands-off leveling.
