How to catch Softgrazer
Catch Softgrazer at a peaceful fishing spot. Cast the listed bait into the zone and keep the rod still until the bite; moving too early scares the fish off. Wind-Up Tin is the standard peaceful lure, while Sturdy Earcrawler is the trophy-chance option.
Once hooked, pull the rod opposite the fish's movement to drain stamina. Reel only when the fish tires, and ease off as line tension climbs. Softgrazer has a 110 stamina pool and a 75/s tension rate in its heaviest size class, so the last stretch is where a careless pull costs the catch.
Size classes & catch odds
Day and night odds are identical in the demo data; class 3 is the rare trophy roll.
| Class | Weight | Chance | Stamina | Tension | Speed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Class 1 | 3 – 4 kg | 60% | 110 | 50/s | 120 |
| Class 2 | 5 – 6 kg | 32% | 110 | 55/s | 125 |
| Class 3 | 7 – 9 kg | 8% | 110 | 75/s | 130 |
Higher stamina means a longer fight. Higher tension means the line snaps faster if you keep reeling through a run. Speed is the fish's movement value in the demo data, not a real-world unit.

Where to find Softgrazer
Softgrazer is tied to peaceful fishing grounds. The demo data lists 34 habitat spots for this species and marks it as day & night habitats.
Use the in-game fishing-spot prompt to confirm the target before casting. Our schematic chart shows the demo's main fishing areas, but it is a route diagram rather than a coordinate-perfect map. If the spot lists a different species, move on instead of emptying your bait bag.
Value & processing
Sale value
8 / kg
Price is per kilogram in the demo build. A class 3 fish is worth substantially more than a class 1 of the same species.
Processing
Thresher → Chromatic Scales
Sell whole fish when you need cash. Process when a recipe or contract needs the material, especially Chromatic Scales and Jaws.
Field notes
The peaceful contract fish. Three Softgrazers become Chromatic Scales at the Thresher, which makes them worth more than their sale price. They have a deep stamina pool for a peaceful species; the final stretch is where most lines break.
