The “Big Catch” event introduces a new system to the game — fishing with progression, earnings, and competitive elements.
During the event, additional mechanics are available (Season Pass, boosters, cases). However, after the event ends, the Fishing job and the “Fisher” app remain in the game as permanent content.
The key feature of this system is that it’s not just about pressing one button. To earn money and progress quickly, you need to understand how each stage works.
What You Get from Fishing
By participating in the system, you can earn:
Cash — by selling fish
Experience — to level up your skill and rank
Access to new equipment and fish types
Season Pass rewards
Participation in tournaments with valuable prizes
If played correctly, fishing becomes a stable source of income and progression.
How to Start Without Wasting Time
After opening the “Fisher” app for the first time, a chain of storyline tasks starts automatically. This is not just a tutorial — it’s a full progression start.
What You Get at the Beginning
At the first stage, the game provides everything you need to start without extra costs:
a basic fishing rod and reel with full durability
starter bait (corn)
direction to the correct location (via teleport or GPS)
step-by-step explanation of core mechanics
This saves your initial money and helps avoid common mistakes.
Why You Should Not Skip the Story
The storyline is not just a tutorial — it’s part of the progression system.
If you ignore it and start fishing on your own:
your progress will be slower — you miss out on skill points from tasks
important mechanics won’t unlock (such as the shop and buyer system)
you lose initial rewards
you spend more time figuring things out manually
Additionally, the tasks immediately introduce the correct gameplay loop:
fishing → selling → buying equipment → progression
How to Progress Efficiently at the Start
To avoid wasting time and reach effective farming faster:
open the “Fisher” app immediately
choose teleport with the mentor if available (saves travel time)
complete the first 3 tasks in sequence without distractions:
catch fish
sell your catch
buy bait
Only after that should you move on to free gameplay.
Important Note
Even if you reach a pier and start fishing before opening the app,
the task chain will still start when you open the “Fisher” app for the first time.
However:
you will waste extra time
some actions will have to be repeated
Fishing Locations
Fishing takes place across three locations, and your choice directly affects farming speed, convenience, and overall income. The difference is not only visual — it impacts logistics, time, and efficiency.
Fishermen’s Village at the Dam
A location near Arzamas, with a reservoir-type water body. It has full infrastructure: piers, a fishing shop, and a buyer.
This is the main location for gameplay:
you can complete the full cycle: fishing → selling → buying
no need to spend time traveling
easy to track prices and selling limits
It is best used as your primary base, especially at the start and during active farming.
Fishermen’s Village on the River
Located in the lower part of the map, with a river-type water body. Functionally identical to the dam village: it has piers, a shop, and a buyer.
The key difference is that it serves as an alternative farming location. This is important because:
fish activity on piers updates every 2 hours
activity levels can differ between locations
If one location has low activity (red/yellow), it’s more efficient to switch to another and continue fishing faster.
Additional: Both villages are visually identical.
Parking:
Fishing Shop:
Café and houses:
Piers:
Forest Lake
A remote location with a lake-type water body. It only has piers, with no shop or buyer available.
This means:
you cannot sell fish on-site
you cannot buy or replace equipment
once your inventory is full, you will start losing your catch
This location is only worth using if:
you have enough free inventory space
you prepared your equipment and bait in advance
you plan to farm continuously without interruptions
Paid Pier
Each location has a separate paid pier with improved fishing conditions.
Features:
access is purchased for 1 hour
cost — 20,000 Cash
fish activity is always high
bites occur faster than on regular piers
If access expires during fishing, you can finish the current cycle, but you won’t be able to start a new one without paying again.
The paid pier is not just convenience — it directly speeds up progression:
less waiting time
more attempts in the same period
higher overall income

How Fishing Works
Fishing is a step-by-step cycle, and your income depends on how well you handle each stage. This is not “pure RNG” — mistakes stack up and directly reduce your efficiency.
In the video, we show a full successful fishing process, and below we break down each stage in detail.
Preparation
Before you start fishing, you choose your equipment — and this already determines the outcome.
the rod affects the duration of the fight
the reel determines how forgiving mistakes are
the bait defines which fish you can catch and how fast bites occur
the landing net simplifies the final stage by reducing the required distance
Key point: if you choose the wrong bait, the desired fish simply won’t bite. If you’re catching the “wrong” fish, the issue is almost always your bait, not luck.
Cast
The cast directly affects the efficiency of the entire attempt.
🟢 green zone — bite is faster by −10%
🟡 yellow zone — bite is faster by −5%
⚪ gray zone — bite is slower by +15% and the chance of valuable fish is reduced by −25%
Consistently poor casts mean slower fishing and less valuable catches.
Waiting
This stage is about control, not speed. You need to wait for the signal and react at the right moment.
pressing too early → you lose bait
pressing too late → the fish slips away after a few seconds
These mistakes are subtle but lead to constant resource loss over time.

Fight
This is the key stage where the result is decided. If handled incorrectly, fish will escape even with good equipment.
Mechanics:
you move the green indicator (focus) using the arrows
your goal is to keep it under the fish
only then do you press “Pull Fish”
If done correctly — the distance decreases and you pull the fish in.
If you pull at the wrong time or fail to track the fish — the distance increases and the focus moves into the red zone.
If the focus becomes fully red — the line breaks.
If you don’t react for too long — the fish escapes (after the distance increases by about 20%).
Difficulty depends on conditions:
heavier fish are harder to control
weaker reels punish mistakes faster (focus turns red quicker)
If fish keep escaping, the issue is almost always timing — either you pull at the wrong moment or fail to keep the focus under the fish.
In the screenshot, the correct moment is shown: the green indicator is under the fish — this is when you should press “Pull Fish”. A video below demonstrates this more clearly.
Result
After catching a fish, you choose whether to keep it or release it.
keep → receive the fish and sell it for Cash
release → gain additional experience
This is part of your strategy: keep fish for money, release rare fish for faster progression.
The entire system is built around control. Every cast consumes equipment durability and bait, mistakes increase wear, and there is always a ~3% chance to catch junk instead of fish.
Fishing is not about luck — it’s about consistency. The fewer mistakes you make, the faster your income and progression grow.
Fishing Shop
The Fishing Shop is the central hub of the entire system: this is where you buy equipment and sell your catch. How you use it directly affects your income and progression speed.
Buying Equipment
All core items are available in the shop: rods, reels, bait, and landing nets. Equipment unlocks based on your rank — if your rank is too low, the item will be unavailable. Some items are purchased with Cash, while others require GC (premium items are highlighted separately).
When buying, you can choose the quantity (for example, for bait). However, if your inventory is full, the purchase will not be allowed.
In practice:
upgrade bait first (it determines which fish you can catch)
then upgrade the reel (reduces mistakes during fights)
rods affect fight duration but are less often a bottleneck
the landing net is a one-time purchase that permanently simplifies fishing
Selling Your Catch
The buyer is located in the same shop and is your main source of Cash. Fish prices change every 2 hours, and there is a personal selling limit that resets along with the prices.
When selling, you choose the amount (in kg), and the total value is calculated automatically. You cannot sell more than your limit or more than you have in your inventory — in such cases, the sell button becomes unavailable.
How Not to Lose Money
The most common mistake is selling everything immediately. If you ignore the system:
you may sell fish at an unfavorable price
you may hit the limit and be unable to sell the remaining catch
you lose part of your potential profit
The optimal approach:
monitor the price update timer
sell when prices are favorable
avoid selling your entire catch at once
How to Earn Efficiently
Fishing generates income, but only if you understand how the system works. Your profit depends not just on how much you catch, but on how you sell it and use additional income sources.
Selling Fish
Your main source of Cash is the buyer, but the system has important mechanics. Fish prices change every 2 hours, and there is a personal selling limit that resets together with the prices.
This means you cannot just sell everything immediately:
if you sell at a bad moment, you earn less
if you hit the limit, you won’t be able to sell the remaining catch even if prices improve
The optimal strategy is to track both prices and limits. Sometimes it’s better to wait for the next update rather than sell right away. Players who ignore this mechanic consistently lose part of their profit even with active play.
Orders
Orders provide fixed income and stable experience, with no randomness involved. Unlike fishing, you always know exactly what you will receive.
Their key advantage is consistency — they speed up rank progression and provide additional Cash regardless of luck.
How to Play Efficiently
Maximum efficiency comes from combining all systems:
fish as your main source of income
sell with attention to prices and limits
complete orders alongside fishing
It’s important not to delay orders — when they refresh, your progress resets and you’ll have to complete them again.
Tournaments
Tournaments are a long-term goal that enhance regular fishing and provide additional rewards for what you are already doing. They are based on the total weight of your catch, not the number of fish, so it is more important to catch heavier, higher-quality fish rather than just many.
How It Works
There are two types of tournaments — weekly and monthly. Both follow a TOP-50 ranking within each server, and the higher your position, the better the rewards.
Tournaments are also divided by ranks, and you can participate in multiple ones at the same time if you catch fish of the corresponding ranks.
Reaching the TOP already gives results: it counts as wins, which affect your overall progression and unlock titles.
Why It Matters
Tournaments are not a separate mode, but an extension of the entire system. While you are fishing, you are automatically participating, but without focusing on tournaments, you will fall behind players who approach them strategically.
If you ignore tournaments:
you lose valuable rewards
your account progression slows down
you miss part of the title and achievement system
How to Play Efficiently
To get results, you need to play with the system in mind:
focus on fish weight, not quantity
fish consistently throughout the entire period, not just once
combine tournament participation with regular fishing and orders
Progress: How to Develop Faster
The entire system is built around two key metrics — skill and rank. Understanding how they work directly affects your progression speed.
Skill and Rank
You gain skill from:
catching fish
completing storyline tasks
completing orders
Your rank increases as you accumulate skill and unlocks:
new equipment
new types of fish
more profitable orders
It’s important to understand: without increasing your rank, you hit a ceiling — even if you play actively, you won’t be able to catch more valuable fish or earn more.
Why Progress Slows Down
If your progression feels stuck, the reason is almost always one of the following:
ignoring orders → not enough consistent experience
using weak equipment → harder catches and more mistakes
poor fishing execution → constant failures and resource loss
This is not hidden — it’s a direct loss of efficiency.
What Actually Affects Your Results
Fish Activity
Each pier has a level of activity that updates over time and affects bite speed.
low activity → longer waiting time
high activity → faster and more consistent catches
Ignoring activity = wasted time and lost income.
Paid Pier
The paid pier is not just convenience — it speeds up progression.
It provides:
consistently high fish activity
reduced waiting time
more predictable farming
If you play actively, it pays off by increasing your fishing efficiency.
Equipment
Equipment affects multiple aspects:
fight difficulty
fishing speed
access to more valuable fish
If you don’t upgrade your equipment as your rank increases, you will spend more time on the same actions and make more mistakes. This slows down your progression even with active play.
Inventory
If your inventory is full, you start losing your catch.
Specifically:
fish are not added to the inventory
junk is automatically deleted
This is one of the most common and unnoticed losses.
Solutions:
sell fish regularly
increase capacity using GC
remove unnecessary items
Teleport
Teleport allows you to quickly move between locations and save time, but it comes with conditions.
Cost: 5000 Cash
Requirements:
you must be in a GZ (safe zone)
Restrictions:
cannot be used during a chase (either side)
cannot be used on GrandArena
cannot be used if you have taken damage within the last minute
cannot be used if you are in a hospital without 100% health
cannot be used if you are handcuffed, tied, wearing a bag over your head, or were in such a state within the last minute
If conditions are not met, a notification will explain why.
Used correctly, teleport reduces downtime and significantly speeds up overall progression.
Event Shop
During the event, additional content becomes available in the “Fisher” app. This is not just “donation content,” but a set of tools that can significantly speed up your progression — if used correctly.
Season Pass
Season Pass is a reward system based on your progress. Levels are unlocked by gaining skill, meaning the more actively you play, the faster you earn rewards.
Types of Rewards and Passes
The system includes:
Free (basic track) — available to all players
Premium Pass — unlocks an additional track with more valuable rewards
Gold Premium Pass — includes Premium and instantly grants +5 levels of progress
Progress is shared across all tracks. This means:
if you purchase Premium later, you can claim all previously unlocked rewards
Gold Premium gives you a faster start and earlier access to rewards
📌 Key difference:
Premium → more rewards
Gold Premium → more rewards + faster progression
How Progression Works
Season Pass progress depends directly on your skill:
catch fish
complete orders
complete tasks
👉 All of this automatically levels up your pass — no separate grinding required.
Gifting Season Pass
Premium Pass can be gifted to another player — this is a separate mechanic.
How it works:
select the gift option in the interface
enter the player’s full nickname
confirm the purchase, and the pass is granted to the recipient
After purchasing Premium, the buy button is replaced with a gift button — this becomes the main way to send the pass.
Restrictions
you cannot gift a pass to a player who already has one
gifting works only within the same server
you cannot gift if you have media or administrator status (up to admin level 7)
Boosters
Boosters are temporary enhancements that speed up progression and reduce losses.
They allow you to:
remove the chance of catching junk
increase fish activity (faster bites)
reduce equipment wear when making mistakes
They are time-limited, so they are most effective during active play.
Cases
Cases provide random rewards with different drop chances.
It’s important to understand:
the outcome depends on luck
cases are a bonus, not a core progression method
Do Not Make These Mistakes
Ignoring fish activity at piers — reduces bite speed and overall income
Not upgrading equipment — slows progression and makes fishing harder
Ignoring orders — results in losing a stable source of experience and Cash
Selling fish without considering limits and current prices — reduces total profit
Making mistakes during the fight — leads to fish loss and increased equipment wear
Letting your inventory overflow — results in losing part of your catch
