Fishing Day

Fishing Day is a festival where the citizens of Portia compete in a fishing competition. It occurs on the 12th and 13th day of Month 1 between 08:00 - 15:00.

Prior to the festival, on Day 8 the player will receive a letter about the upcoming event. It reads:

“	Dear Citizen, The annual Portia Fishing Day is happening in this Friday and Saturday! If you're interested in participating, bring your patience and fishing rod and register at the event! Town Hall

At the start of the day of the festival, it is recommended to check the map for the location of the Fishing Tourney since it can be hosted at any fishing spot available to the player. All locations have more types of fish and a higher rate of catching rare fish than usual while competing. To maximize fishing time, the player should travel to the location immediately. Reloading the day may reset the location of the competition, though once the first day has ended and saved, the location will be the same for both days.

Each game will take three in-game hours, meaning the player can participate a maximum of three times per festival day and earn a maximum of 30 Fisherman's Badges (60 per year). These badges can either be exchanged immediately at the Gift Exchange stand or later on in the Commerce Guild building.

The player will keep all the fish they caught during the competition.

Festival Preparation Edit

The player will need to bring any fishing rod as well as Caterpillars to use as bait.

NOTE: Can also occasionally be obtained from gathering items like Snake Berries and Herbs.

Additionally, the Fish Encyclopedia Skill allows the player to tell what a fish is before catching it, allowing them to skip over low-value fish and wait til a better fish bites. If the player does not have the skill but is of high enough level to have the skill points to get it, they can ask Phyllis for an Acupuncture treatment at Dr. Xu's Clinic to reset their skill points before Fishing Day.

Fishing Tourney Edit

Once the player has arrived, they can interact with the sign-up area (the sign under the yellow umbrella, somewhere near the Gift Exchange stand) to start the fishing competition minigame. Each round costs 200, 15 Stamina, and three in-game hours, with up to three rounds per day depending on how long it takes the player to arrive at the location.

The player competes against three other random characters and has three minutes to catch as many fish as possible. Each fish is worth a different amount of points based on its type, length, and weight. All fish are kept once the festival is over.

The following table's values are based on roughly 10 catches per fish type, excluding Kings due to their rarity.
