What that update added
Dynamic water you can build in, fishing, and the Veilwater Basin region. The basin is the largest uncorrupted surface water on the map, and its Gem Forge can push gems to levels 41–50.
Pearls entered the game with this update. They come from Drak as an uncommon drop, or from clams underwater.
How fishing works
Update 7 introduced rods, bait, and fishing in natural or player-made water. Its location-based catch tables are historical: 1.0 now allows all fish in every body of water, with bait targeting the fish tier and the rod determining what you can handle.
The Hunter’s quest teaches the loop. A basic rod is on the personal crafting menu. Better gear is sold or crafted through Athalan Skree and the survivor Fisher, Captain Melville Fontane.
The 1.0 changelog says each bait primarily attracts fish of its own tier, and improved bait guarantees the tier if a fish bites. It also rebalances trash and treasure, especially at marked spots. These changes do not change the original water-system release date.
Questions
Where do I find water?
Veilwater Basin is the large natural source. You can also place water while building, after Update 7.
How do I remove water?
Terrain and building tools can reshape placed water. The wiki treats it as a build material, not a spell.
