It is easy to obtain a Fishing Totem. You need to build a multiblock structure and provide a set amount of items. The direction of the stairs do not matter and can face any direction along as they are in the correct place.
You will require Fishing Level 20 to activate the Totem. You can check this in /fish stats
Blocks required:
2 x Observers
1 x Green Glazed Terracotta
1 x Orange Glazed Terracotta
1 x Anvil
4 x Spruce Stairs
1 x Daylight Detector
Special Items required:
16 x Dolphin Tail
16 x Crab Claw
16 x Crab Scale
16 x Squid Tentacle
6 x Any Platinum Fish
Once you have the items above, and the required level. You need to build the multiblock structure. You can find a guide in /fish menu or use the picture above as a reference.
Once you have built the Fishing Totem, using a Fishing Rod, hit the bottom observer and it should activate, or give an error messaging depending on what you are missing.
The Fishing Totem provides many different benefits to the user. However, some of these require Entropy to upgrade and others require a high Fishing Level. I have broken these into three sections:
The Fishing Totem has three main upgrades that cost Entropy. They are listed below. (Note: the cost to upgrade is the previous cost plus a set amount. This amount is listed below). The maximum column is what you can expect if you level up an upgrade to its maximum level.
Upgrade
Initial Cost
Extra Cost
Maximum
What it does
Radius
115,000
62,500
30 blocks
This extends the radius that you can stand inside to get the buffs.
Cooldown
120,000
100,000
30 mins
This lowers the initial cooldown from 60 minutes.
Active Time
90,000
100,000
30 mins
This extends the time the totem buffs are active for.
Passive slots are very important as you need these to activate totem passives. You can have a maximum of 18 passive slots at max level; allowing you to activate a multitude of passives. To obtain a new passive slot, you require either:
Requirement
Amount Per Level
Platinum Fish
x5
Mythical Fish
x1
Please note that after every passive slot you upgrade, the cost will stack.
You cannot mix and match fish, e.g. 1 Mythical and 14 Platinum. They must be of the same type to work.
Passives are separate from upgrades and don't require Entropy to upgrade or use. They instead require different Fishing Levels and passive slots to activate. Below is a list of passives, the required level, passive slot cost and what it does.
For the passive effects to work, you MUST stand inside the green circle. It is perfectly fine to cast your rod outside of this circle, but the player must be inside it.
Passives can be toggled on or off even while the Totem is active, allowing you to hot-swap passives at will. You can only have as many passives active, as you do passive slots at any one time.
