Ashes of Creation AFK Fishing Guide
AFK fishing in Ashes of Creation works by setting yourself up at a fishing spot so you can repeatedly fish with very little movement or decision making. You still press buttons, but you stay in one place and only react when needed.
How To Do AFK Fishing In Ashes Of Creation
AFK fishing in Ashes of Creation is done by standing at a fishing location, casting your line, and responding to each fishing prompt while staying in the same spot. You are not moving, traveling, or fighting, which keeps input low.
You cannot fully walk away from your keyboard. You must interact when the catch prompt appears.
Step By Step AFK Fishing Setup
Preparing Before You Start
Before you fish, you need to set things up so you do not have to stop.
Repair your fishing rod at any vendor
Empty your inventory to avoid filling up
Remove unnecessary gear weight if applicable
Pick a quiet area with water access
This prevents interruptions mid session.
Finding A Safe Fishing Spot
Pick water where mobs do not patrol and players rarely pass.
Good choices are calm rivers, lake edges near settlements, or quiet coastlines.
Avoid main roads, docks, and popular travel paths.
Starting The Fishing Loop
Once positioned, you begin the low input loop.
Equip your fishing rod
Cast your line into the water
Wait for the fishing prompt
Complete the prompt
Cast again from the same spot
You repeat this without moving your character.
Staying Low Attention While Fishing
You can stay mostly hands off between prompts.
The game gives clear visual and audio cues when interaction is required. You glance back, respond, and return to whatever you were doing nearby.
Missing the prompt simply fails the catch. It does not break the loop.
Managing Interruptions
Eventually something will interrupt you.
Inventory fills up
Fishing rod durability gets low
PvP player appears
Mob wanders too close
When this happens, stop fishing, handle the issue, then resume from the same spot.

Final Blurb
