Fishing in Slayers 2 is locked behind a permit, not a level. You cannot buy a rod, borrow one, or find one in a chest until Dock Master Sofin signs off on you at the Mistfall Harbor docks, and that whole process comes down to one short fetch quest and a cash payment. Once the permit is in your inventory, the rod vendor is standing a few steps away on the neighbouring pier.
Quick answer: Pay Dock Master Sofin 5,000 Yen at Mistfall Harbor, return the Permit Stamp from the crate across the water, then buy the Basic Fishing Rod from Fisherman Jeso for 3,500 Yen.
What fishing costs in Slayers 2
Bank the money before you make the trip. The permit fee and the cheapest rod together come to 8,500 Yen, and the quest will not start if you cannot cover Sofin’s fee.
| Item | Cost | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Fishing Permit | 5,000 Yen | Dock Master Sofin |
| Basic Fishing Rod | 3,500 Yen | Fisherman Jeso |
| Rare Fishing Rod | 10,000 Yen + 5 Golden Fish | Fisherman Jeso |
The Rare Fishing Rod is not a first-visit purchase. Golden Fish have to be caught first, which means you need the Basic rod in hand before the expensive one is even an option.
Route to Mistfall Harbor
From the Windy Path shrine, run out through the Wilderness and into Bamboo Grove, then keep following the road past Giyen. The path drops downhill toward the coast and ends at the wooden harbor piers. If you lose the thread, open the map and steer by the named areas — Mistfall Harbor is labelled once you are close enough.
Earn a Fishing Permit quest
T, and collect it; the tracker changes to “Permit Stamp found 1/1”.Grab the stamp on the way past if you are already in the water — the crate stays in the same spot whether or not the quest is active.
Buying a rod from Fisherman Jeso
Jeso sits on a stack of crates on the pier next to Sofin’s dock, with the rods propped up beside him. You interact with the rods themselves rather than the NPC, which brings up a confirmation window for whichever one you clicked.
Basic Fishing Rod
At 3,500 Yen, this is the only option you can realistically buy on your first visit. The description presents it as a simple permit rod for routine fishing in Mistfall; its line may be refined, but it cannot extend into deep water. With a catch tier of Common, it brings in standard harbor fish, including the Sea Horse.
Rare Fishing Rod
The upgrade costs 10,000 Yen and 5 Golden Fish. Since Golden Fish come out of the water, this is a second-stage purchase you work toward after the Basic rod is already earning you catches.
How to cast and win the fishing minigame
M1) on the water to cast the line. There is a short wait while the hook sits before anything bites.M1 in brief presses to keep the white bar within the yellow one as it moves.

How to confirm it worked
Three checkpoints tell you the chain has gone through correctly:
- Sofin’s turn-in shows “Fishing Permit x1” and “Health Potion x1” in the reward popup.
- The rod appears in your inventory with its name and Catch Tier listed on the description panel.
- A successful minigame ends with a named fish, such as Sea Horse, dropping into your inventory.
From there it is a loop. Cast, clear the bar, collect, and repeat along the harbor until you have banked enough Golden Fish and Yen to trade up to the Rare rod. You can jump straight into the current build on the Slayers 2 Roblox page and run the permit quest in a few minutes once you have the 5,000 Yen.
