Takeaways

• 😀 Make your first cast count by considering the benefits of spending early for a points multiplier and maximizing your equipment's potential with the Ocean Prospector map.
• 😀 Keep your lure near the edge of the screen to avoid hitting too many fish from both directions, which will make your descent smoother and give you more time to grab valuable items on the way up.
• 😀 Learn which fish are worth the most points—two-star fish are common and should be targeted, while one-star fish should be avoided for maximum point gain.
• 😀 Don’t underestimate mermaids! Most mermaids give low points, but the ones wrapped in seaweed offer a bonus multiplier when rescued.
• 😀 Always grab treasure chests when possible—they provide valuable items for your progress in *Kingshot*, often more valuable than the fish themselves.
• 😀 Use fishing vouchers strategically after successful high-point attempts to multiply your score and progress further in the fishing guild.
• 😀 If you make a mistake during a fishing attempt, don’t panic—simply restart for free by hitting the pause button and selecting 'Retreat' to reset without losing any consumables.
• 😀 For free-to-play players, manage your free fishing attempts wisely by timing them around the server refresh to maximize your points and gear upgrades.
• 😀 You can accumulate Ocean Prospectors and fishing vouchers across multiple tournaments—save them up for a single event to significantly boost your chances.
• 😀 Invest in essential special items like the Reel (extra chances to catch fish), Ocean Scanner (to locate rare fish), and Lantern (to see below 300m depth), especially for tough fishing attempts.
• 😀 Max out your gear to unlock additional rewards, but focus on completing your fishing guide to earn permanent skins, frames, and valuable in-game items.

Q & A

Why is the first cast in the fishing tournament so important?

The first cast is crucial because it is boosted by the Ocean Prospector Map, which provides a high spawn rate of high-point fish and upgrades your gear to level 10 temporarily. This helps you rack up more points early on, which will benefit you in subsequent attempts.

Should I spend money on the fishing tournament event?

Spending is not necessary, but it can offer good value. Spending early on gives you a points multiplier for all future fishing attempts, making it easier to earn rewards. However, if you prefer not to spend money, you can still compete and earn rewards, though it may take more time.

What is the purpose of the Ocean Prospector Map?

The Ocean Prospector Map temporarily upgrades your gear to level 10 for the first cast and increases the spawn rate of high-point fish, allowing you to gather more points early in the event.

Why should I position my lure on the edge of the screen?

Positioning the lure on the edge minimizes the chance of hitting fish coming from both sides, which increases your chances of avoiding unwanted catches and helps you focus on the rarer fish deeper in the water.

How do I know which fish are worth the most points?

Learn which fish are worth the most points by memorizing their star ratings. Two-star fish are the most common and valuable, while one-star fish should be avoided. You can also note that mermaids wrapped in seaweed offer additional multipliers to your points.

What should I do if I make a mistake during a fishing attempt?

If you hit too many fish or miss a rare one, you can restart the attempt without penalty. Simply hit the pause button and select 'Retreat' to reset your fishing attempt, keeping the same rare fish and treasure chests intact.

How can I maximize my free fishing attempts?

To maximize your free fishing attempts, use your free attempts strategically and stop once you have 10 attempts left at the end of the day. This ensures you don't waste any attempts after the server reset and allows you to make the most of the event.

What is the Horn of the Tide and how should I use it?

The Horn of the Tide allows you to summon a specific fish for your next attempt. It's best to save it for a rare fish that you haven't yet caught, especially if it only appears during specific seasons, to complete your fishing guide efficiently.

What happens if I max out my fishing gear?

Once your fishing gear is maxed out, you unlock additional rewards, including permanent skins and frames. Extra points spent on gear can also be used to access the discounted hero roulette wheel, though the rewards from it may not be very valuable.

Can I buy special items with real money for the fishing event?

While you can purchase special items with real money, you can also acquire them with in-game gems. Items like the *Reel*, *Ocean Scanner*, and *Lantern* are all available through gems, and the *Lantern* is particularly important for seeing fish at deeper depths.
