Palia Umbran Carp Guide

The Umbran Carp is simpler to catch than other species, which have specific times and lures they like. It is not fussy about the time of day, nor do you have to use bait to catch it. All that catching, however, is not without its catch. By virtue of the fact that the Underground and cave lakes are the only places you can catch fish, you'll have to go all the way to Kilima Village or Bahari Bay in order to fish in the caverns there. This time, the open air of the ocean just won't do. Some suggestions to help:

The ponds at Pavel Mines of Bahari Bay are really good places to go fishing.

Don't be discouraged if you don't catch anything for a while; Umbran carp are a pretty rare fish.

You can increase the chances of catching an extra-good-quality version by fishing when the water is rippling.

When possible, target rippling areas since high-quality versions are always worth more. Regardless of where you cast your line, it shouldn't take very long to reel in an Umbran Carp. With Umbran Carp, you can do much more in Palia than just sell or cook them-you can even give them away as gifts to NPCs. Be careful with whom you try this since not everyone likes fish as a good enough gift.

With these tips and by practicing your fishing skills, you will be well on your way to catching carp in Palia.
