Gameplay

Fishing is a persistent game, meaning it keeps going for everyone on the Island. The player's goal is to upgrade their Fishing Level, allowing them to unlock new upgrades, islands, and more.

Islands

Players can travel to nine islands to fish. Each island has different types of fish that can spawn there. Each unique fish that a player catches will award a specific amount of Angler Trophies. Each catch, unique or not, will earn the player Island XP.

All of the islands are spread out across three climates, with three islands per climate. You can find the complete list of islands and information about each in the table below:

table

Each of the islands has a set number of Fishing Spots hidden on it. Each spot has specific attributes that will determine what fish can spawn there:

• Stock (how many fish will spawn in the spot until it’s depleted)
• Catch Time (how quickly fish will appear after the player casts their rod)
• Buffs (special events that multiply Fishing Perks the player has or increases the chance of a certain type of fish appearing)

Spots have a higher chance of spawning a buff if they are hidden, but will spawn with a poorer Stock and/or Catch Time. Every spot on every island refreshes with new attributes every 60 minutes.

Grottos

Each Climate has a hidden Grotto, which is a special area full of unique fish and valuable treasure. Wayfinder Data players gather by catching fish in a specific climate will reveal the location of the Grotto in that climate. Grottos guarantee a specific type of fish or item. Depending on the Fishing Spot, the Grotto will lose more Stability. Once the Grotto’s Stability reaches 0, the grotto is unreachable.

Catching

Fish

Fish have 4 different weights, and the heavier the fish, the rarer it is and the more Angler Trophies it will earn the player. Fish also have traits which determine how and when they spawn:

• Rarity (how often the fish will spawn)
• Time (what time of in-game day they will spawn)
• Type (Normal, Frenzied, and Elusive)
  • Frenzied and Elusive fish can only be caught at an special place and time.

Players can sell the fish they catch for Angler Tokens. They will earn more Tokens for rarer and heavier fish.

Pearls and Charms

Pearls and Charms are another resource that can be fished up, which can be used along with Angler Tokens to upgrade the player’s Fishing Perks, as well as purchasing new fishing equipment.

Treasure

Players can also fish up treasure, including exclusive cosmetics.

Perks

Fishing Perks each have a different effect and control how and what the player catches. Perks’ effectiveness can be improved with Perk Points. The number of Perk Points can be increased or decreased. Players can increase the number of their Perk Points by purchasing new fishing equipment, upgrading their Perks, and completing fishing badge tiers. The number of Perk Points can decrease as the player’s fishing equipment degrades and breaks.
