🗼Fishing Totem

This page contains information about the Fishing Totem; how it works, what it does and how to obtain one.

How do I get a Fishing Totem?

It is easy to obtain a Fishing Totem. You need to build a multiblock structure and provide a set amount of items. (The items required are consistent across all servers).

What items do I need?

• 16x Dolphin Tail

• 16x Crab Claw

• 16x Crab Scale

• 16x Squid Tentalce

• 6x Any Platinum Fish

You will require Fishing Level 20 to activate the Totem. You can check this in /fish stats

How do I activate the Fishing Totem?

Once you have the items above, and the required level. You need to build the multiblock structure. You can find a guide in /fish menu or use the picture below as a reference.

Once you have built the Fishing Totem, using a Fishing Rod, hit the bottom observer and it should activate, or give an error messaging depending on what you are missing.

The direction of the stairs do not matter and can face any direction along as they are in the correct place

I have activated my Totem, so what does it do?

The Fishing Totem provides many different benefits to the user. However, some of these require Entropy to upgrade and others require a high Fishing Level. I have broken these into three sections:

Totem Upgrades

The Fishing Totem has three main upgrades that cost Entropy. They are listed below. (Note: the cost to upgrade is the previous cost plus a set amount. This amount is listed below). The maximum column is what you can expect if you level up an upgrade to its maximum level.

Upgrade	Initial Cost	Extra Cost	Maximum	What it does
Radius	115,000	62,500	30 blocks	This extends the radius that you can stand inside to get the buffs.
Cooldown	120,000	100,000	30 mins	This lowers the initial cooldown from 60 minutes.
Active Time	90,000	100,000	30 mins	This extends the time the totem buffs are active for.

You can use the formula below to calculate the cost of the next upgrade. I'll add an example, say upgrading radius to level 5.

150,000 + (75,000 * 5) = 525,000 Entropy for the 5th level.

$$initalCost + (extraCost * level)$$

It is recommended to only upgrade radius if you want to have it cover a large area such as a lake. You only need to stand inside of it to get the passive buffs. The fishing bobber does not need to be inside of it.

Passive Slots

Passive slots are very important as you need these to activate totem passives. You can have a maximum of 18 passive slots at max level; allowing you to activate a multitude of passives. To obtain a new passive slot, you require either:

Requirement	Amount Per Level
Platinum Fish	x5
Mythical Fish	x1

Please note that after every level you upgrade, the cost will stack. For example, if you have two passive slots already, the third one will cost either:

• 3x Mythical Fish

• 15x Platinum Fish

You cannot mix and match fish, e.g. 1 Mythical and 14 Platinum. They must be of the same type to work.

Totem Passives

Passives are separate from upgrades and don't require Entropy to upgrade or use. They instead require different Fishing Levels and passive slots to activate. Below is a list of passives, the required level, passive slot cost and what it does.

For the passive effects to work, you MUST stand inside the green circle. It is perfectly fine to cast your rod outside of this circle, but the player must be inside it.

Passives can be toggled on or off even while the Totem is active, allowing you to hot-swap passives at will. You can only have as many passives active, as you do passive slots at any one time.

Passive	Level	Slots	What does it do?
Experienced Fisherman	20	1	This increases experienced gained from fishing by 1.5x while the totem is active
Little Critters	40	2	This increases the drop chance of crab goods whenever you kill a crab in the radius of your totem
Fish Schools	40	3	Increases the chance of Hot Spot and Call of the Storm activating by 35%
Random Drops	55	4	This gives you a chance to get other fishing loot such as squid tentacles or dolphin tails from killing crabs
Treasure Hunter	60	5	This gives you a 1% chance of finding rare items while fishing
Mythical Waters	60	5	Whenever you catch a fish this has a 20% chance to upgrade it to a higher rarity
Entropy Hoarder	60	6	This increases entropy you get from fishing by 1.25x
Star Fall	100	10	Not implemented as of v4.5.5
