Best Tips & Tricks to Finish Waveborne Fast
Okay, so now that you know what youโre up against, letโs talk about how to actually catch them efficiently.
1. Best Rods for Waveborne
Since this is the starting zone of the Second Sea, youโre fine sticking with First Sea rods for most catches. But if youโve already unlocked better gear:
- Use the Ethereal Prism Rod if youโve got it. It makes this process way smoother.
- A solid backup is the Azure of Lagoon Rod, which is one of the better early Second Sea rods.
2. Best Baits to Use
The cool thing about Waveborne fish? Most of them arenโt crazy difficult to catch. A lot of them can be pulled in with basic stuff like:
- Seaweed
- Coral
If youโve got luck boosts from stuff like the Aurora Totem or Merlin, you can focus mainly on resilience. If not, grab some Weird Algae to up your chances of finding rare ones.
โจ 3. Use the Right Enchantments
If youโre trying to speedrun this bestiary, you need good enchants. Hereโs what to go for:
- Steady is the MVPโseriously, itโll carry you through.
- If you donโt have Steady, try Resilient or Mystical.
- With these, you can even get away with using luck-based bait like Night Shrimp, and let your rod handle the rest.
If youโre not sure what each enchant does, take a sec to check them in the enchantment menu so youโre not going in blind.
4. Best Rod + Bait + Enchant Combo
If you want the ultimate loadout for Waveborne, here are your top combos:
- Best Combo (if youโve got high-tier gear):
Ethereal Prism Rod + Deep Coral Bait + Steady Enchant - Solid Combo for Second Sea starters:
Azure of Lagoon Rod + Seaweed Bait + Controlled Enchant - New players:
Donโt stress. Just try to get your hands on Second Sea baits early on and stick with First Sea rods until you unlock better gear.
Completing the Waveborne Bestiary isnโt too crazyโit just takes some patience, a decent rod, and the right bait. And letโs be honest, catching some of these fish is kind of a flex, especially that secret Storm Skipper.
So grab your rod, check the weather and time, and get out there. Happy fishing, Traveler!
