Notable features Ocean fishing (Bass, Tuna, Swordfish), rare mount drops, The Deep, sunken treasure
Entry requirement None

The Shores is a calm seaside zone reached from the east side of The Pond. It has sand along the west edge, open ocean to the east, and follows the same safe rules as The Pond.

The Shores is mainly used for higher-level Fishing: each of its catches is gated by Fishing level and bait rather than by an entry requirement.

Entry: The Shores is open to every level — the old Total Level 20 gate was removed in a 2026 update. What is gated is the catch: each species has its own Fishing level and bait. Free Play accounts cannot enter.

Fishing

The Shores is one of Kintara's main fishing locations. All Shores species require the Level 2 Fishing Rod and their own bait.

Catch Where Fishing level Bait XP per catch
Bass South of the buoy line 13 Bass Bait 135 XP
Tuna North of the buoy line (fished from the dock) 20 Tuna Bait 140 XP
Swordfish The Deep (raft-only water) 28 Squid Bait 145 XP

Every cast also has a 1 in 10,000 chance of bringing up sunken treasure — 2–10 Gold alongside the fish.

The Deep

The Deep is the far south-east ocean pocket, reachable only by casting from a Wooden Raft. Besides Swordfish, casts into the Deep can bring up:
