Basics

Stats Explained

Every piece of gear contributes to six stats. Understanding what each does is the foundation of good build-craft.

Aether - Rarity Boost

Shifts rarity weights toward higher tiers. Effect scales as √(AE ÷ 100). Also increases mutation and size-extreme chance by up to +50%. Stack AE to fish rarer creatures.

Power - Bar Fill Rate

Increases Phase 2 catch bar fill speed. Formula: base(0.04) + 0.24 × (1−0.5^(PW ÷ 100)). At max PW the fill rate is 7 × faster. Essential for Mythic+ catches.

Dexterity - Phase Control

Phase 1: slows the fish's catch ring up to −60%. Phase 2: enlarges catch zone (100→530 px), slows fish speed (up to −32%), reduces chaos (up to −45%). The #1 stat for difficult tiers.

Lure - Bite Frequency

Increases how often bites trigger in the air. Chance per second = (LR ÷ 100) × 2. More bites per session means more catches and more SC.

Beast - Size Influence

Shifts size roll toward extreme sizes (Tiny or Colossal+). Larger fish = higher sell value multiplier. Also slightly boosts mutation chance.

Skyload - Species Unlock

A minimum SK score required by certain rare species. If your gun's SK is below the threshold you simply cannot roll that species - upgrade your gun.

Build tip: AE + PW covers rarity and reeling. DX covers control at high tiers. LR covers frequency. A balanced endgame build spreads across AE/PW/DX with SK high enough for your target zone.

Basics

The Fishing Mini-Game

Catching a creature is split into two distinct phases.

Phase 1 - The Rings (Circle Mini-Game)

A bell shakes to signal a bite, then two rings appear:

Outer ring (white, player) - steadily shrinks toward the center.
Inner ring (blue, fish) - pulses back and forth between the outer and center.

Press your catch trigger when the two rings overlap. The tighter the overlap, the better your hit rating.

Result	Overlap threshold	Zone spawn offset
Perfect	<3% of band*	0% (at fish)
Good	<15%	15% from fish
Fair	<30%	30% from fish
Poor	<50%	70% from fish
Miss	>50%	No Phase 2

*Perfect window shrinks at higher rarities. Obsidian's window is only 0.6% of the band.

Fish ring speed by rarity: Basic 0.6 ×, Common 0.8 ×, Uncommon 1.0 ×, Fine 1.3 ×, Rare 1.7 ×, Epic 2.2 ×, Legendary 2.8 ×, Mythic 3.5 ×, Ancient 4.3 ×, Aetheric 5.2 ×, Obsidian 6.5 × DX reduces the ring speed on the Phase 1 fish ring (up to −60%).

Phase 2 - The Reel (Stardew Valley-style)

A vertical track appears. Your catch zone (green bar) must overlap the bouncing fish icon.

Hold trigger to accelerate your zone upward.
Release to let gravity pull it back down.
The catch bar fills while overlapping, drains when not.
Fill the bar to 100% to land the fish.

Stat	Phase 2 Effect
AE	Higher rarity roll → harder fish behavior
PW	Bar fill rate: base 0.04/s + up to +0.24/s at max
DX	Catch zone 100→530 px; fish up to 32% slower; chaos −45%
LR	No effect in Phase 2
BS	No effect in Phase 2

Bar drain rate is constant (−0.16/s) regardless of rarity. Higher rarity reduces fill rate - Obsidian fills at only 40% the base rate. Missing the fish costs meaningful progress.

Treasure chests (~1 in 15 fights): A drifting chest icon appears alongside the fish. Hold overlap on the chest to fill a separate bar while fighting the fish. If the fish bar completes while you are still overlapping the chest, OVERTIME triggers - the fish bar holds briefly so you can finish filling the chest.

Basics

Tips & Tricks

🎯 Phase 1 gives a head-start

Your Phase 1 hit rating determines where your catch zone spawns at the start of Phase 2. A Perfect spawns your zone directly on top of the fish for immediate overlap. A Miss spawns it on the opposite end of the track, leaving you the entire length to cover.

⚡ Your gun build affects the Essence Forge

The Essence Forge (combining 3 same-rarity essences) uses your current gun stats when rolling the outcome creature. Equip your highest-AE build before forging for a better result.

🎲 The Gem Forge is entirely RNG

Putting gems into the Gem Forge yields a random enchantment - no stats, no conditions affect what you get. It is pure luck.

🌙 Night dramatically boosts rare spawn rates

Epic ×1.5, Legendary ×1.8, Mythic ×2.5, Ancient ×2.0, Aetheric ×2.0, Obsidian ×2.0. Basic and Common spawn rates are reduced (×0.7 and ×0.8). Fish after dark for high-tier hunts.

⛈️ Storm is the strongest rare-boosting weather

Legendary ×1.5, Mythic ×2.2, Ancient ×2.5, Aetheric ×2.0, Obsidian ×2.5. Basic ×0.7, Common ×0.8. Combine with Night for maximum rare spawns - time and weather bonuses stack.

🌀 Rift is the rarest weather of all

Legendary ×1.8, Mythic ×3.0, Ancient ×3.5, Aetheric ×3.0, Obsidian ×4.0. Basic ×0.5, Common ×0.6. Far stronger than Storm, but rarer to occur.

🐾 Low SK means rare species simply will not appear

If a species requires a Skyload (SK) score your gun cannot meet, it is gated out entirely - no amount of AE or weather will roll it. Upgrade your gun to raise SK before targeting high-tier species.

💰 Mutations multiply sell price, not rarity

A Prismatic or Charged mutation adds 5 × to a fish sell value - you can earn more from a Rare Prismatic than a plain Legendary.

📦 Sell Bonus enchantments stack with mutations

Sell Bonus 10% / 25% / 50% from enchantments applies on top of the size and mutation multipliers. Stack them for maximum SC per fish.

🌅 Dawn & Dusk boosts Rare through Legendary

A brief window around sunrise and sunset: Rare ×1.3, Epic ×1.4, Legendary ×1.5. Good mid-game farming window before committing to a full night session.

🧳 Upgrade your bag early

Bag tier unlocks more inventory slots and an achievement track. Early upgrades prevent constant sell-runs and let you fish longer sessions.

📅 Log in daily - missing a day drops you to your week start

The 56-day login calendar escalates each week: Week 7 milestone is 75k SC, Week 8 is 100k SC. If you miss a day your streak resets to the first day of your current week - you do not lose your overall week progress, but you will redo that week from day 1.

🔮 Enchantment conditions only activate in that state

Enchantments with conditions like night or storm only activate their bonus during that weather or time of day. Pair them with matching in-game conditions for full effect.

🍑 Limited Event

Peach Summer Store · through end of August

Peaches are a limited-time summer currency earned from opening chests - just like Sky Pearls and Gems. Spend them at the Peach Summer Store near spawn on event-exclusive seekers and gun-material skins. When the event ends the store closes and peaches stop dropping, but any peaches you have banked stay on your account.

🍑 How it works

Every chest you open rolls a handful of peaches on top of its normal loot, and higher-rarity chests give more. The store panel shows your peach balance and a live countdown of the days remaining, and it auto-closes when the event is over - nothing is lost, your peaches just have nowhere to spend until (or if) the store returns.

Gem Crack Odds (Gem Forge)

Cracking a gem at the Gem Forge rolls one random enchantment. The gem's quality decides the rarity odds; within the chosen rarity, every enchantment of that tier is equally likely. Higher gems lean toward higher rarities, but no gem is guaranteed a high tier - and even a Prime can land a low roll.

Rarity	Simple Gem	Strong Gem	Prime Gem
Common	40%	10%	2%
Uncommon	35%	18%	4%
Fine	18%	25%	8%
Rare	6%	22%	15%
Epic	1%	15%	22%
Legendary	-	8%	25%
Mythic	-	1.5%	15%
Ancient	-	0.3%	7%
Aetheric	-	0.1%	2%

Each column sums to 100%. With a Prime, Common+Uncommon together is only 6% - rare, but expected to show up now and then. Legendary or better is 49%.

Mutations

Mutations are rare visual variants that appear on caught creatures. They multiply sell value and are tracked in your codex. Base mutation chance is 7.5% per catch - boosted by AE and certain enchantments.

How Mutations Roll

base chance = 7.5%
aether_mult = 1 + 0.5 × (1 − 0.5^(AE ÷ 100))
final chance = 7.5% × aether_mult × enchant_mult
// at AE=0: 7.5% | AE=100: ~9.4% | AE=200: ~10.3% | max (high AE): ~11.25%

When a mutation fires, one is chosen via weighted random from the 23 named mutations. Rarer mutations have lower weights.

Mutation Rarity Groups

Aetheric × 5.0 - Prismatic, Charged

Ancient × 4.0 - Emberveil, Stormlit

Mythic × 3.0 - Hallowed, Nebula, Hexed

Legendary × 3.0 - Auric, Irradiant, Chromaveil

Epic × 2.0 - Glacial, Voidtouched, Gleaming

Rare × 2.0 - Null, Cloudwoven, Stormstriped

Fine × 1.5 - Pale, Wraith, Fractured

Uncommon × 1.5 - Inverted, Petrified

Common × 1.3 - Watermelon, Dustborne

Aetheric mutations (Prismatic, Charged) give × 5 sell value - the highest multiplier in the game. On a Titanic Aetheric fish, that's potentially 80,000 × base × 5 = 400,000 SC from one catch.

Sell Prices

Sell value is calculated from base rarity value × size multiplier × mutation multiplier × sell bonus. Sell your bag at the Market vendor.

sell_value = base_value[rarity] × size_mult × mutation_mult × sell_bonus

Progression

Echo (XP) Progression

"Echo" is the in-game XP system. You earn Echo every catch based on the creature's rarity. Max level is 150.

xp_threshold(L) = 100 × max(0, L−1)^2.3
// total cumulative XP needed to reach level L
// base_echo = max(2, shardValue × tierRate / 100) - see table below

XP Curve

To reach level 150 you need 9,961,584 total Echo. At Aetheric (2,000 XP each) that's ~4,981 Aetheric catches - or ~45,280 Mythic catches (220 XP each). Daily quests and achievements also award Echo. Level 100 (the old cap) is 3,890,102 Echo - the climb from 100 to 150 more than doubles that.

Libby Lobby Boost

When Libby~ joins the instance, a world-wide echo boost activates roughly one minute after she arrives and lasts 30 minutes. A banner fires for everyone in the world when it starts and ends.

The boost adds +1.0 to your Echo multiplier, effectively doubling base Echo from every catch for the duration. It stacks additively with all other bonuses:

Active Bonuses	Echo Multiplier
Libby Boost only	× 2.0
Libby Boost + Blood Moon	× 4.0
Libby Boost + Laser Storm	× 5.0

Enchant echo bonuses (e.g. +25% Echo, +50% Echo) multiply on top of this base multiplier.

Weather & Time of Day Effects

Rarity weights shift based on current weather and time. Stack conditions for maximum rare hunting.

Time of Day

Period	Effect on Rarity Weights
Night	Basic × 0.7, Common × 0.8, Epic × 1.5, Legendary × 1.8, Mythic × 2.5, Ancient × 2.0, Aetheric × 2.0, Obsidian × 2.0
Dawn / Dusk	Rare × 1.3, Epic × 1.4, Legendary × 1.5
Midday	Basic × 1.2, Common × 1.1, Mythic × 0.6, Ancient × 0.5, Aetheric × 0.5, Obsidian × 0.5
Other Hours	No adjustment - base weights apply

Weather States

Weather	Effect on Rarity Weights
Calm	Ancient × 0.7, Aetheric × 0.7, Obsidian × 0.7
Windy	Epic × 1.3, Legendary × 1.4
Storm	Basic × 0.7, Common × 0.8, Legendary × 1.5, Mythic × 2.2, Ancient × 2.5, Aetheric × 2.0, Obsidian × 2.5
Heavy Storm	Basic × 0.5, Common × 0.6, Legendary × 1.8, Mythic × 3.0, Ancient × 3.5, Aetheric × 3.0, Obsidian × 4.0
🔥 Fire Storm	Rare night-only event. Sets all Echo XP to × 3.5 for ~15:43 - the strongest weather Echo boost.

Aether (AE) Effect on Rarity

aether_bonus = √(AE ÷ 100)
// Shifts weight from each tier to the one above: bonus × 0.3 × weight[i−1]
// Capped at 15% of the lower tier's weight per shift
// AE=0: no shift | AE=100: +100% bonus | AE=200: +141% bonus

The higher your Aether, the more weight "bleeds up" from low tiers to high tiers. This compounds with weather and time modifiers - a high-AE build during a Night Storm is dramatically more likely to see Mythic+ creatures.

Optimal rare hunting combo: High AE build + Night + Storm weather = Mythic × (2.5 × 2.2) ≈ × 5.5 base weight. Add Rift weather for Mythic × (3.0 × 2.5) ≈ × 7.5. Combine with AE stat for maximum rare pulls.

🔥 Fire Storm rare night event

A rare weather event that can only ignite at night. The instance rolls for it about every 6 minutes with a ~12% chance while eligible; once it starts the sky burns ember-orange and the foliage takes on a fiery tint for ~15:43 (matched to the Fire Storm music track).

While it rages, all Echo XP is multiplied by × 3.5 - the biggest single Echo boost from any weather state. This is separate from the Libby Lobby Boost (×2 Echo when Libby~ visits, see Echo Progression). Pair Fire Storm with a high-Aether night build for a massive leveling window.

Mutation Rifts

Rifts are glowing spheres that appear throughout the world. Each rift is tied to one specific mutation and forces that mutation on any catch made inside its zone.

What Rifts Do

When your cast lands within a rift's influence sphere:

Mutation is forced. Your catch is forced to match the rift's mutation with a 50% chance. If it doesn't trigger, a normal mutation roll fires instead. A Prismatic Rift gives Prismatic on roughly half of all catches inside it.

Rifts do not add any Echo (XP) bonus. Any extra Echo from a rift catch comes only from the forced mutation's own multiplier, not from the rift itself.

Rifts are named [MutationName] Rift with a floating label and a glowing shell that matches the mutation color. You do not need to be inside the sphere - your cast target must land within the influence zone.

Spawn Mechanics

Condition	Active cap	Spawn cadence
Calm	2	Every ~300s, 40% chance/window
Windy	2	Every ~110s, 40% chance/window
Rain	2	Every ~100s, 40% chance/window
Storm	2	Every ~85s, 40% chance/window
Heavy Storm	10	Burst: every 3s until cap
Blood Moon	10	Burst: every 20s until cap
Laser Storm	10	Burst after laser fires (every 15s)

Each rift lives 10-20 minutes (600-1200s, random per spawn). When it expires it simply vanishes and a new one can spawn elsewhere. Rifts are spread across the world with a minimum spacing rule to prevent clumping.

Mutation Rarity by Weather

During normal weather, the rift spawner picks a mutation weighted by rarity - the same weights that govern which mutations appear on fish. Rarer mutations appear in rifts less often. During exclusive events the mutation pool is overridden:

🌧 Heavy Storm

No override - uses the standard rarity-weighted pool across all 23 mutations. Rarer mutations appear less often. What changes is quantity: up to 10 rifts burst-spawn every 12s, flooding the world with varied rifts.

🌘 Blood Moon

Pool locks to two mutations: Hexed (8x weight) and Hallowed (1x weight). Expect roughly 8 Hexed rifts for every 1 Hallowed rift during the event.

⚡ Laser Storm

Pool flips toward rare mutations: Prismatic and Charged at 10x weight, Emberveil and Stormlit at 8x, scaling down to common mutations at 1x. Best window for rare mutation rifts.

Tip: Rifts and rarity weather stack. Fishing a Mythic-boosting weather window (Storm, Rift weather) inside a Prismatic Rift simultaneously gets you the weather rarity boost AND a guaranteed Prismatic mutation on the catch.
