Fisch Badges: Full List and How to Get Every Badge

This guide lists 62 Fisch badges. Some unlock in your first few minutes. Others take thousands of catches, a lucky event or a secret ritual. The badges are split into five groups: early badges, catch milestones, skill and luck badges, event badges, and Bestiary and secret badges, including the mysterious ??? ones. Where a badge has official unlock text, it's shown next to it, so you know exactly what to aim for.

How badges work in Fisch

Each badge has its own goal, from joining the game to catching every fish in an area.

The badges fall into five groups:

1. Early badges: your first join, first sale and first use of some tools.
2. Catch milestones: from 50 up to 10,000 catches.
3. Skill and luck badges: legendary and shiny catches, the volcano and enchanting.
4. Event badges: you must be in the server when certain events start.
5. Bestiary and secret badges: catch every fish in an area, or finish the hidden ??? goals.

Early badges you can get fast

These are the easiest badges to aim for.

How to get them:

1. Join the game. First Time Fischer unlocks straight away.
2. Catch any fish and take it to the Merchant near the spawn dock on Moosewood. Sell it to get Economy Expert.
3. Take a fish to the Aquatic Appraiser and appraise it for Attempted Upgrade.
4. Use a Fish Abundance Radar once for Recon Expert.

Catch milestone badges (50 to 10,000)

These badges count every fish you catch. Just keep fishing and they'll unlock over time.

Tip: You'll earn these anyway while you chase other badges. Filling in the Bestiary means lots of catches, so the two goals go well together.

Skill and luck badges

These badges need a bit of luck or progress.

Rare Hunter: Legendary is one of the rarer tiers. The full order is Trash, Common, Uncommon, Unusual, Rare, Legendary, Mythical and Exotic.

Special Someone: You need a Shiny fish. The Bestiary shows a Shiny % for each island, so you can see how many you've found.

Lava Caster: Cast your bobber into the volcano. That's all the badge asks for.

True Power: You must enchant your rod at the Keepers Altar. Enchanting uses an Enchant Relic. The Daily Reward gives one on Day 2, which is a free way to get your first relic.

Event badges

Event badges are the trickiest. For most of them, you must be in the server when the event starts. Joining halfway through does not count.

How to give yourself the best chance:

1. Stay in one server for a long time while you fish. Hopping between servers can make you miss the start.
2. Keep event messages on. Go to Menu > Notifications and leave System Chat Messages: Events switched on.
3. Note that Chilled Revelation is a Fischmas exclusive and Sunlit Paradise is a Fischfest exclusive. You can only get them while those events are running.

Gone Fishing... Live! works differently. You need to help a streamer by catching special fish, reeling in the Clout Carp and repairing a machine.

Bestiary badges for every area

You get a Bestiary badge when you catch every fish in an area. Open the Bestiary from the HUD to check your progress. Fish you haven't found show as ???, and each island shows a % Completed.

Some badges have no official unlock text. For those, the name tells you which area's Bestiary to complete. Names are copied exactly as they are officially listed, typos included.

Tip: Start with Bestiar: Moosewood. It's the starting island, so you'll already be fishing there. Bestiary: Everything is the final goal and needs every fish in the game.

Secret and ritual badges

Three badges keep their goals a mystery. Two of them show only ??? as their unlock text.

The game doesn't say how to get Divine Relic or Keepers Pupil. Keeperbound gives a small hint: there is a "true ritual" linked to the Keepers, and timing matters. Keepers Pupil and Keeperbound both mention the Keepers, just like the True Power badge at the Keepers Altar, so that area may be a good place to start looking.
