1. Explaining Fish Shadows
Before diving into the data, you must understand the Shadow System. Knowing which shadow to target will save you time and resources:
- Black Shadows
Common fish available in three distinct sizes: Small, Medium, and Large. These are the most frequent encounters throughout the world. - Blue Flash Shadows
Rare finds that require a specific trigger. You must use the Mermaid Fish Attractor item to encounter these shadows. - Golden Shadows
High-value and legendary catches. These shadows only appear during specific events, such as the Daily Sea Fishing Event with NPC Bill or Seasonal Events.
Pro Strategy: Every time you attempt to catch a fish regardless of the shadow type you will consume 2 Energy. To ensure a long and productive fishing session, always carry enough food to replenish your energy and a repair kit to keep your gear in top condition.
