New Anglers Read This!

[dienamic]

OK, I feel like I have to post this for the new folks. Follow this advice and you will not only get better at the game, but may save yourself from getting scolded by the more experience fishermen....and fisherwoman! We want you to succeed but the same questions keep coming up so here goes!

1) Take the tutorial!!! not only does this explain the functions of the game, but you get free stuff. It will take a little time , but it pays off and to be honest it will answer most of your questions.

2) Yes you will catch little fish at first and that will happen for awhile. You MUST crawl before you walk like in any game. Remember, you will catch a lot of different fish and even tho they may be small they count towards your rank. Oh ya you have a rank and a lvl....work on both!

3) Do not spend any gold you do not have to at first. Spend silver on available baits. Now this is important so pay attention. Use the available baits with different depths and hooks. Exhaust yourself and the baits with each hook and depth. This will help you lvl and help your rank. There is little to no need to spend gold the first few lvls on bait.

4) Save any bonus baits " baits you get from pearls etc to use while fishing with license" You will catch differnet fish and again...this will count towards rank. A good place to do this is in Dnieper.

5) Why is your line keep breaking? I cannot beieve this even comes up, but here is the deal. Your line can only take so much stress when you land bigger fish than it is rated for. First let off the left mouse button. You may need to apply energy. This increases the strenth of your catching ability. Use the energy by appying the space bar. Only use energy when you have to. They cost 1 gold per can and trust me you will need a lot of it before you know it. Later as you build mor rods you will see some come with the ability to apply up to 4 additional cans of energy. That means you are probably catching a monster....GOOD JOB!!!!!

6) Research your your rod selection before building new rods. Some are good for catching bigger fish, some are good to make bait rods. I will touch on that now. Long post I know , bear with me here.

7) Build a bait rod as soon as you can!!!! These babies really pay off while using in tournys. What makes a good bait rod??? When looking at available rod stats check the bonus capabilities at the bottom of the stat screen. I like to start off with a rod that has 5 bonus capabilities right from the start. This gives you a great jump on the build. My best bait rod currently has a 15 pecent bonus chance....Loving it.

8) Almost done lol....Stars! Ok, you have built a rod and now you can apply "stars to it". This is important because it is costly. Adding stars cost silver so know what you want to accomplish before spending your hard earned silver and gold...yes gold on it. You can apply stars one at a time. My advise is keep rerollong your first one until getting what you want before proceeding to the next one...remember this is costing you silver and each additional star cost more. You can "reroll" your stars as many times as you wish. Ok example say you appied all your stars and you are think You want more bonus stars. If you have two already you can click on them and freeze them. You can only freeze 2 stars at a time and each time you do it will cost 10 gold each to freeze them. This is why you should do your homework before building.

9) This is a free game. You do not have to spend acual money on it unless you want to. I always do the pig in a poke evey day because I spend tons of gold on expensive baits, build new rods all the time and change the stars on my rods. You don't have to....just my choice.
To get to pig in a poke, click on your gold button at the top right of your screen. The nightly deal will come up. If you have money on Steam you can purchase it.

10) Ok I think I covered most of what you need to get started. Also you will notice certain anglers with awsome ranks and lvls. Before asking about anything I covered her simply click on their name and thier profile will come up. Check thier corral or trophy fish catagory to see how they caught certain fish. Most times they are on a a mission to catch certain things. Please do not bother them with simple questions. Most of them are nice and will help, but also take to account they may be having a bad night or trouble accomplishing a goal.

Sorry about the long post........I wish you the very best fishing experience. Oh ya there is a pinned post on this forum about what fish you need to unlock areas. Simply click on the link, at the top of the page that comes up select the area you want to unlock and a fish list will come up along with hook and depth info...Make notes......Good Luck and have fun!!!!!!!

Bumped for usefulness.

Btw, what is this compass and how do you access it?

I'd like to take the tutorial. It says to open the tube with the rods in it. But I'm not seeing a tube. Where does it hide? The tutorial doesn't say...

It means the small window in a left corner of a screen with a rod pictured in it, just press on it)

Seems like freezing the golden stars didnt work. Frooze 2 golden stars, when doing a rereoll for the 3rd they were gone. So how am i supposed to do this ?

Great help but major problem I have the game opens up in a tiny window and I can't enlarge it. I'm new to this so obviously haven't a clue

[firefox599 🍎🍌🍌]

Ah I see a trend now....fishing games discussions have now stopped, note to myself, delete all fishing games with little or no instructions

[TheSilentAngryCat]

bruh ic ant see the buttons make it fullscreen avalible

i really like this game but there is hardly any help for it. I cant even locate where the stars go unless i have to be level 10 for them to show up. I liked the information provided but it seems very incomplete. I've looked at most of the guides and discussions and most have only done Volga map and nothing else. So i guess this is where my OCD for games kick in and I take matters into my own hands and compile lists of the different baits, maps, rods etc and determine when i can catch anything and how often I can catch the fish..
Thank you for taking the time to write your post it was most helpful!
