Fishing
As many of you know there is been a big updates in SFL since October began with the bud NFTs being out as well as the composter and fishing !! Here’s the best guild I could find the help are farmers with the new journey ahead!
Will you learn the historic secrets of fishing, discover marine marvels & become a renowned fisher?
Fishing is an essential game mechanic which allows players to discover useful and exotic fish. Fish as a resource can be used for:
Fulfilling deliveries for SFL + Rewards
Cooking & levelling up your Bumpkin
Crafting
Completing quests
How to fish?
To become an expert fisher you must learn the ways of the ocean, desires of fish and extensive fisherman lore. At it's heart, this feature is all about experimentation. Bumpkins must pay attention to changing weather conditions, unique bait combinations + hidden secrets.
As the game evolves, new fishing areas and challenges will appear throughout Sunflower Land offering limited edition fish and challenges. However, players will firstly fish on their main island.
To get started, you must speak with the local fisherman on your wharf... Reelin Roy!
This Bumpkin will be the source of all your fishing needs, including providing your fishing tips, rewards and casting your rod!
When you are ready, you will be able to cast your rod and cross your fingers. Each cast requires 2 items:
A Fishing Rod. This can be crafted at the Blacksmith for one-time use.
Bait - This can be attained through Composting
By clicking "Fish", the Fisherman on wharf will cast their rod and attempt to catch a fish.
Fish Guide
On launch, there will be over 30 types of fish that can be caught, each with its own rarity and utility inside of the game.
So how do you catch these fish? In some cases, if you experiment with the right conditions you will be guaranteed a certain fish. In other cases, a certain level of experimentation and luck will be required. There are multiple factors which influence what type of fish you will catch:
Bait
Fishing conditions
Experimentation
Bait
Your bait is the primary factor which will determine what category of fish you will find. Lesser baits yield fish with lower benefits, whereas higher quality baits yield rarer fish with more benefits.
Fishing Conditions
Based on the weather and time of day, certain fish will have a higher likelihood of appearing. There are also some fish which are only available during perfect conditions.
In Sunflower Land, players from all around the world follow the same time-schedule (UTC). From UTC 00:00-12:00 is our Dawnlight session and 12:00-24:00 is our Dusktide session.
There are certain fish more likely to appear during a certain session. For instance, you can only catch Angler Fish during Dusktide times.
The following conditions will also randomly change each day: sunny, windy & overcast. There are also special events that can occur spontaneously including full moons & fish frenzies. During this period your chances of finding 'Marine Marvels' is greatly increased.
Experimentation
Bumpkins are renowned for their craftsmanship in building, cooking, and farming. Luckily, these skills also help their fishing endeavours.
While fishing, you are able to combine bait with a range of different resources to increase the likelihood of discovering certain fish.
The following resources can be combined with bait: Crops, Fruit, Eggs, Iron, Gold & certain fish (Sardines, Herring, Mackerel).
In certain cases, a given resource can guarantee a fish. For instance, you can use Carrots with an Earth Worm to guarantee a Sardine.
Marine Marvels
Every fisherman's dream is to one day discover Marine Marvels. These fish have been rumoured to have been spotted throughout the history of Sunflower Land. It would take an expert fisherman to discover these rare fish.
These fish can be placed on your land as a trophy, used in special events, and in some cases provide you bonus farming and fishing boosts!
Cooking & Eating
Fish can be eaten raw and are an excellent way to boost your Bumpkin's level! Lesser fish will provide a small amount of experience whereas certain rare fish can provide insane amounts of experience.
There will also be additional recipes made available at a range of shops:
Gumbo
Fish and Chips
Chowder
Deliveries
There is a shortage of fish in the Pumpkin Plaza and Bumpkin's are going crazy for fish! Each day, a range of fish related deliveries will appear. These Bumpkins will pay a premium price for your catches of the day!
There will also be fish related deliveries where you can earn the seasonal resources in exchange. For fairness, these will only include fish that can be guaranteed to catch using certain combinations (instead of RNG).
Keep an eye out for some mysterious special event NPCs - fulfill their deliveries and see what awaits
Progression & Unlock-ables
On your journey to becoming a fish expert, there are multiple milestones you will reach and claim rewards that will help you in your fishing adventure. There are multiple Bumpkins throughout Sunflower Land that will offer you prizes for your accomplishments.
By visiting the beach, you can talk with the wise old fisherman. By completing a range of challenges, you will be able to mint rare wearables and collectibles.
A variety of rare collectibles & wearables will also be made available through seasonal events, auctions and questions!
Future enhancements
As always, our goal is to ship content early and gather feedback. This means we won't be waiting until the entire feature is complete before you can start fishing. The following additions will come at later dates:
Fishing Skills
Seasonal Fish - Marine Marvels that are only available for a short period of time.
MMO Fishing Spots - Rare fishing spots in Plaza, Beach, etc.
