Fishing

Schools#

• Each sea has 5 big schools out at sea and 2 small ones in the harbor's safe waters.
• A big school takes 3–5 casts, a small one 2; then it scatters and turns up elsewhere after 40–90 seconds.
• To cast you must be close to the school and almost stopped. Small schools bring fewer, commoner fish.
• Schools don't show on the minimap: you find them by sailing.

Casting#

• The needle sweeps the ring once every 1.4 seconds. Tap in the green for a good cast, in the gold inside it for a perfect one; anywhere else the net comes back nearly empty.
• The green and the gold slide a little on every sweep: follow them with your eye.
• A perfect cast brings more fish, rarer and heavier ones. There are 4 seconds between casts while the net comes in.

Nets#

Nets are bought with gold, one after another; your best net is always the one used. The rates below were measured on the game's own casting code, on the first sea's big schools.

Net	Price	Bonus	Fish / good cast	Fish / perfect	Rare+	Bottle	Wreck
Hemp Net	Free	Your first net	1.5	2.5	29.8%	3%	4%
Linen Net	50,000	+1 fish, a wider green	2.5	3.5	30.5%	2.8%	4.2%
Silk Net	250,000	+1 fish, rare odds +25%	2.5	3.5	37.1%	2.9%	4%
Royal Net	800,000	+1 fish, wider green and gold, more bottles	2.5	3.5	37%	4.5%	3.9%
Legendary Trawl	2,000,000	+1 fish, rare +40%, legendary x2, bottles x2	2.5	3.5	42.6%	6.1%	4%

Fish#

Each sea has its own fish. The fishmonger pays by sea and rarity: a common fish is worth 12 gold in the Emerald Isles, 45 in the Northern Ice Sea and 110 in the Fire Isles; rare 4×, epic 15×, legendary 60×. Sales pay the average weight's price.

Bottles and wrecks#

• A good or perfect cast on a big school sometimes brings up a bottle: a chart piece, 2 chest keys or 10 crystals.
• Sometimes a wrecked chest: Emerald Isles 1,000, Northern Ice Sea 3,500, Fire Isles 8,000 gold.

Meals#

Cook meals from your fish; a meal lasts 30 minutes. One meal works at a time; a new one replaces the last.

Meal	Ingredients	Effect
Fried Sardines	6 × Sardine, 2 × Mackerel	+8% speed
Grilled Tuna	2 × Tuna	+10% cannon damage
Cod Chowder	4 × Cod, 4 × Herring	Repairs 25% more often
Lava Catfish Kebab	2 × Lava Catfish, 3 × Emberfish	+12% damage, +10% speed

The album and records#

• Every kind you catch goes in the album: how many and the heaviest. Beating your own record is announced to you; records of epic and legendary kinds are announced to everyone on the notice board.
• Catch every kind of a sea and its page is complete: an achievement, a title, and in the first two seas a look (Hooked Flag, Shoal Sails). Achievements and titles

The week's fishers#

Each fish is worth points by rarity (common 1, rare 4, epic 15, legendary 60). The week's top three fishers get crystals by mail: 150 / 80 / 40.
