Random Timed Fishing Events
Accessibility TLDR;
Fishing has events that modify gameplay. They're not on strict schedules and are subject to when the developers plan them. They range from 2x tokens when selling to no baits breaking and more.
Fishing has so many potential gameplay features modifying gameplay, and this is yet another. At random times or dates, there might be an active event. You will only know about it in advance if a developer has announced it.
This system aims to add some randomness and fun events to fishing, and at launch there are a ton of possibilities for events, with more coming soon.
What is it?
Each event does a different thing. In this section, we'll list all their different modifiers.
Token Cloning Experiment
During this event, all fish sold for tokens have a 2x modifier on the tokens you get from selling. This DOES stack with skills that modify token profit.
Toolnacity
During this event, tools will be unable to break. Meaning you only need the one tool you have until the event is over, fish your heart out with that cute lil harpoon.
Baits Baits Baits
Similar to Toolnacity, during this event baits are unable to break. Prismatic who?
Limited Time Portals
While this event is active, so are any limited-time locations! Miss that old crypt keeper's pond? Well look out for it during this rare, but worthwhile, random event.
Idle Crack
While the idle crack event is running, your idle machine attempts to make catches at 2x the frequency that you have unlocked. Think idle fishing is OP? Just wait till you try it with this!
NPC Space Time Rift
The NPCs somehow fell into a time space rift, and during this event they're all available at every location!
Clear Waters
During the Clear Waters event, each successful finishing minigame will have three possible shadows to catch instead of the standard one, and every user will be able to see the shadow outlines of the creatures available rather than a generic shadow. Anything that isn't a creature (like seaweed) will still be the generic shadow.
Crazy Chromas
While the Crazy Chroma event is ongoing, you will have a 2x chance for a chroma variant to spawn while fishing. This stacks with chroma boosts from baits and skills also!
Pass Cheesing
While the Pass Cheesing event is ongoing, you will have 2x fishing season xp!
Speed Fishing
While the Speed Fishing event is ongoing, your cooldown for fishing is 5 seconds!
Instant Travel
While the Instant Travel event is ongoing, any travel you want to do is instantly completed!
Quality Time
While the Quality Time event is ongoing, you will only catch high quality fish if possible! This event also overrides things that don't normally grant you high quality catches, including tools and skills.
Lucky Caster
When in the fishing mini-game, there is a 100% chance for a fish to spawn directly under your tool. If there's more than one creature/shadow, there will be one randomly chosen to be under the tool while the other is normally placed.
Why so random?
You might be wondering why there's no advanced schedule. That's because we want this system to be used (sometimes) as a way to surprise players who are casually grinding. Luckily, we'll (often) announce upcoming or ongoing events so everyone can hop in and participate.
How do I know what event is running?
In the menu for /fish catch where you see your bait/location/bucket space, if there is an active event running, you'll see it to the right of the bucket space section (on pc).
