writ­ten 9/16/23, updat­ed 4/15/24

What

“Merge items to cre­ate rods. Catch Fish! Find and Dis­cov­er Rewards!”

Notes

  • Yel­low Ener­gy is only used in the main game, while Pur­ple Ener­gy is used only for the event
  • Yel­low Ener­gy may be used to buy Pur­ple Ener­gy in the Event Store
  • 1 Pur­ple Ener­gy is restored every 20 min­utes (up to 50 total)
  • Pur­ple Ener­gy can also be recov­ered through chain merges in the main game (denot­ed by icon on ran­dom items)
  • Fish­ing Rod and Fish­ing Tools are rem­i­nis­cent of Fish­ing Rod and Tack­le Box from the Joys of the Sea Col­lec­tion Event ear­li­er this year
  • The high­er the lev­el of fish­ing rod (Nor­mal, Pro­fes­sion­al, Leg­endary) the high­er chance of catch­ing rar­er fish
  • Odds are ter­ri­ble for catch­ing high­er rar­i­ty fish
  • I don’t know how it’s expect­ed to get 5ish Mar­lins when I could­n’t even get enough Yel­lowfin Tuna to get a gold frame and there­fore medal! I guess with lots of mon­ey sunk into?
  • Fish vari­eties change by sea­son
