Entropy:

Entropy is the most important thing in pyrofishing. You can earn entropy a few different ways, these ways being catching fish, gutting fish and completing deliveries. You can check your total entropy by doing /fish entropy. Entropy is used for several different things, the first being to craft augments. To craft any augment in pyrofishing you will need a certain amount of entropy. To find out how much you will need you can do /fish augments and find the augment you want to craft to see the cost or go to the Augments section of this book. Entropy is also used to upgrade your fishing totem and delivery skills. The pyrofishing totem has 3 skills which require entropy to upgrade and pyrofishing deliveries has 5.

Selling Fish:

There are a couple ways to sell your fish, the first being in /fish shop. They can be sold for their base value or you can weigh the fish. Weighing fish gives them a random weight which is directly linked to the price increase or decrease you will get. The increase/decrease is always a percentage based on the fish's normal sell price.

1. Open the scales menu with /fish scales, or through main menu

2. Drag and drop fish into the GUI.

3. Pick your scale type: Low, Medium, High or Extreme.

4. Press Anvil to scale your fish.

There are two augments that help with selling fish. The first is Trophy which gives you a higher chance to profit off the fish scales. The second is Solar Rage which increases the money you make when you sell the fish. It is important to note that you must be holding your fishing rod in your hand in order for the augments to work. Lastly you can sell your fish to other players by agreeing on a price. This is mainly for rare fish like platinum and mythical fish as they are used to upgrade totems.

Gutting Fish:

You can gut your fish for entropy in /fish gut. To find out how much entropy you will get for a certain rarity of fish, hover your cursor over the nether star. The fishing augment Precision Gutting gives you extra entropy but your fishing rod must be in your hand for it to work. The skill Better Gutting also gives you extra entropy for gutting fish. These two things do not stack with each other and are calculated independently.

Fish Skills:

Fish skills are found by doing /fish skills. In total there are 4 upgradeable skills. To earn skill points to unlock or upgrade skills you have to level up by catching fish. You earn 1 skill point per level. Below is a description of each skill and what they do.

Skill Name	Description
Better Gutting	Increase entropy gained from gutting fish
Luck of the Catch	Increases entropy gained per catch
Master Augmenter	Reduces cost to craft augments
Totem Leader	Each time you catch a fish, reduce cooldown timer on totem

There are also one time purchase skills that you can unlock. These skills act as passive effects rather than a skill. These cost a flat amount of skill points to purchase. These skills also scale with your fishing level. This means the higher fishing level you are, the better these skills will perform. Below is a description of each skill and what they do.

Skill Name	Description
Divine Judgment	Low chance to summon a tsunami. A tsunami creates a wide circular zone of particles for a short time, catching fish in there gives you 2 fish instead of 1.
Tribal Shout	Grants other players within range of the totem a part of its effects.
Combo Catcher	The more fish you catch in a row, the chance to catch a higher-tier fish increases. This is the best skill in the game.
Augment Infusion	Chance to refund some of the items used when crafting an augment.

Fish Augments:

Augments are essentially custom enchants that are crafted using a cauldron. These can only be applied to fishing rods currently and enhance different aspects of pyrofishing when used. Augments can be crafted by dropping the items required into a cauldron and hitting it with a fishing rod. Below is a list of each augment, a description of what they do, their crafting recipe and their max level. This information can also be found by doing /fish augments

Totem:

A totem can be created by following the guide in /fish menu. Navigate to the totem in the menu and click it to see how to build it. It is important to note that the totem is not usable until level 20. Once you have built your totem you then need to activate it by right clicking it holding a fishing rod and having 16 Dolphin Tail, 16 Crab Claw, 16 Crab Scale, 16 Squid Tentacle and any 6 platinum fish. The fishing totem provides many different benefits to the user. Some of these require entropy to upgrade and these are listed below.

The totems passives can be unlocked by increasing your fishing level as well as upgrading your totems passive slots. Upgrading passive slots cost platinum or mythical fish. The first upgrade costs either 5 platinum fish or 1 mythical fish. The cost for each level increases by 5 platinum fish and 1 mythical fish. You upgrade the totem using either platinum or mythical fish; you cannot not use 14 platinum and 1 mythical fish if the cost is 15 platinum or 3 mythical fish. Below is a description of each passive, what it does, the level it unlocks at and how many passive slots it needs.

Fish Deliveries:

You earn a fish delivery every 180 custom fish you catch. When you have caught 180 a message will appear in chat alerting you to your new delivery. You can also view how many fish you need until your next delivery inside the fish menu by hovering over the delivery icon. Below is a step by step guide on how to complete a delivery.

1. Get a delivery by catching 180 custom fish.

2. Catch, trade, buy or obtain the fish the delivery requires.

3. Click on the delivery to start it. This will remove the fish from your inventory.

4. Wait until the timer has finished.

5. Collect your reward by clicking on the icon in the delivery menu.

With deliveries there are 5 upgrades that help you when completing and earning from deliveries. They are listed below with a description.

Upgrade	Description
Increase Capacity	Increase amount of delivery you can hold at once

Expert Deliverer	Reduces fish needed for deliveries.
Pay Raise	Increases entropy reward from completing deliveries.
Lucky Charm	Reduces the amount of fish needed to earn a new delivery.

Fish Boosters:

There are several different fish boosters you can get. Players can get a platinum lure, mythical lure or an entropy booster. The lures give you a 250% increase at catching a platinum or mythical fish depending on which lure you actuated, and will last for 30 minutes. The entropy booster will give you a boost in entropy earned for the next 30 minutes based on the booster percentage. It is important to note that all 3 of these boosts can be stacked at the same time. Players can obtain these items by completing fishing deliveries in /fish deliveries, or in the case of the lures, randomly get them when you fish with the Dark Valentine Fishing Rod on the SlimeSMP server.
