In RPGs, it sometimes happens that the most insignificant ingredient becomes a rare commodity, which players snap up. During the Aida Café event on Tower of Fantasy, it was salmon that became one of the most coveted items in the game in just a handful of days. This fish is indeed essential for the realization of certain culinary recipes, but it is not easy to catch! Many fans have kindly taken to Reddit to denounce abusive drop rates. It's the salmon shortage!
Salmon fishing is sport
In Tower of Fantasy, it is possible to capture salmon "by hand", just like any other animal likely to end up on our plates. Except that the salmon drop rates in the lake are derisory. Some players have recounted on Reddit the difficulties encountered in catching even a single salmon, in the middle of the banks of Silver Bass.
Even though they don't have the official data, some players have calculated that only 5% of catchable fish in the lake are salmon. In other words, collecting enough salmon for your recipes quickly becomes a nightmare.
Sobek, the real spot for miraculous fishing
If you too are looking for salmon to cook, drop fishing by hand, and favor the boss fight! This World Boss guarantees you 6 salmon if you beat him. This has since become reason enough to farm him on a loop.
It is unlikely that the developers will change anything about the salmon drop rate on ToF. This shortage of fish is no longer one for those who farm Sobek properly.
