FishTracker
The Fisherman wants every kind of fish, and A Catch Worthy of Njord a big one. FishTracker shows what you are missing and gives you a way to bring the fish to you.
- Fish tooltips say "You haven't caught this fish yet." and show your progress, like The Fisherman: 5 / 12.
- Bait tooltips list the fish that bite on that bait, with the ones you haven't caught yet in orange.
Want to find out for yourself?
HideUnknownFishshows???for fish you have never had. - Chum. Every fishing bait can be mashed into chum by hand (5 bait for 1 chum, in the crafting menu
without a workbench): Fishing Bait becomes Chum, Mossy Fishing Bait becomes Mossy Chum, and so on.
Face the water and use it (right click it in your inventory, or put it on your hotbar): a few fish that
take that bait and live in that biome show up in front of you. Then catch them with your rod as usual.
- Fish you haven't caught yet are more likely to show up.
- Some come with stars. A Catch Worthy of Njord needs a fish of exactly level 4 (3 stars); a 4-star fish (level 5) does not count. Chum fish go up to level 4.
- Wrong biome or not deep enough? You get a message and keep your chum.
Fish only count for the achievements when you catch them with a rod while achievements can be earned. Valheim turns achievements off in a game marked as modded (Jotunn and several other mods do this); install ModdedAchievements to turn them back on.
Multiplayer
Chum fish are normal fish: everyone sees and can catch them. Chum itself is a new item, so only players with the mod can see it on the ground or in a chest. If you remove the mod, chum disappears from inventories and chests.
