| Fisher of Souls | 8 × Demonite Bar | Iron Anvil |
Demonite smithing and early availability
The Fisher of Souls is forged at an Iron Anvil or Lead Anvil using eight Demonite Bar ingots. Shadow Scales are not required in the recipe, enabling anglers to craft it early by purifying and mining demonite deposits or collecting ore drops after conquering the Eye of Cthulhu. Its sleek violet construction makes it a staple tool across early Corruption worlds.
Fishing power metrics and rod hierarchy
With 20% fishing power, this tool provides a considerable upgrade over the Reinforced Fishing Pole at 15% power and starter wooden rods. Although it trails the Crimson Fleshcatcher at 22% power, it delivers reliable performance across pre-Hardmode fishing tasks. Players keep it equipped until uncovering the Scarab Fishing Rod or receiving high-end quest gear from the Angler.
Trivia
- It requires zero Shadow Scales to manufacture, allowing creation prior to fighting the Eater of Worlds.
- Like all fishing poles in Terraria, it cannot be modified with Goblin Tinkerer prefixes.
