How to get a Fishing Rod in Windrose? All fishes and more

One of the best ways to spend some leisure time in Windrose is to catch some fish, and to do so, you’ll need to use your fishing rod. Catching fish isn’t just a gimmick since they’re part of some extremely useful recipes.

This guide will help you figure out everything you need to learn about Fishing in Windrose.

How to get a Fishing Rod in Windrose

To get some fish, you’ll need the Simple Fishing Rod. This item can be crafted using its recipe and the required materials. You’ll need the following items.

• Five Hardwood: Can be obtained from Foothills
• Three Rope: Can be crafted quite easily.
• Two Foothills Iron Ingots: Can be smelted in a Furnace.

You’ll also need a level 2 Workbench to craft the item. Once done, you can start fishing by equipping it from your toolbar.

Fishing in Windrose is pretty simple. Reach a water body, and cast your line. The bobber will bob in the water, and you need to look out for a splash. The splash means that it’s time to reel in the line and catch the fish that has taken the bait. Once it reaches you, voila! You have caught your fish.

All fish and recipes in Windrose

As of writing, Windrose has ten different species of fish. The common ones can be found in any body of water. But the rare and epic ones can only be caught from deep waters.

• Queen Angelfish
• Pink Wrasse
• Sapphire Wrasse
• Reef Snapper

Once you catch a fish, you need to turn it into Fish Fillets. Right-click the fish from your inventory, and process the meat into Fillets. The bigger the fish, the greater the number of these fillets. Here’s a list of all recipes that require at least one Fish Fillet to be prepared.

• Chowder: Three Fish Fillet, Three Sweet Potatoes, Two Salt
• Fish and Tostones: Three Fish Fillet, Three Bananas, Two Nuts
• Seafood Skewer: One Fish Fillet, One Crab Meat
• Seafood Platter: Seven Fish Fillet, Four Lime, Three Crab Meat, Four Salt

All these food items have their own in-game effects, and they will boost specific stats temporarily. Additionally, catching all 10 types of fish will also get you the Fisherman’s Ring, which adds an extra 15% chance to get an extra fish when reeling in your catch. With upgrades, this boost can be increased to 30%.

Tanned Leather is one of the more important resources in Windrose, and it has different purposes. Obtaining this leather isn’t too difficult, but you’ll need to clear a fair bit of in-game content and build an additional item.

Let’s find out how you can get a steady supply of Tanned Leather in the game.

How to get Tanned Leather in Windrose

Tanned Leather can be crafted in Windrose. For starters, you’ll need to collect raw hides. Raw hide can be obtained quite easily, but you’ll need to hunt. If you’re in the early game stage, either wolves or deer work. They’re not so dangerous, and you can kill them quite easily. You’ll also need your skinning knife in hand to get the hide.

Now that you have your hide, you’ll need to get a Tanning Rack. This item has to be unlocked via its recipe, and it allows you to dry raw hide. This process is necessary when you want to convert raw hide into Tanned Leather.

You can make Clay Bottles from the Alchemy Table. Once it’s done, you can now make Tannin with Hardwood Bark and a Clay Bottle. You’ll need this item for the production of Tanned Leather.

Once you have built and placed your Tanning Rack, add the raw hide to one of its slots. Add either a tanning agent or a source of fuel that will be consumed during the process. If you have Tannin, it will work just fine.

You’ll need to wait for some time for the process to complete. Once done, you’ll have your Tanned Leather.

How to use Tanned Leather in Windrose

Tanned Leather has plenty of use when it comes to crafting armor. Almost every mid and end-game item will need Tanned Leather. The demand for it goes up once you unlock Foothills, which is the second biome in the game.

However, you can start collecting the required materials like Clay and Rough Hides early to make things easier when you’ll actually need Tanned Leather in your inventory.
