Game Features
Idle Fishing
Battle and catch fish automatically, level from 1 to 100 and beyond, grow stats, collect gear, and learn skills. Let your hero land some lunkers, all while the game runs at very low systemresource use.
World & Progression
Haul in common, rare, exotic, and legendary catches across natural biomes. Trade with travelling merchants, complete quests, go on expeditions, celebrate daily holidays, and track your lifetime stats in your hero journal.
Offline & Online Derbies
One of seven guilds hosts the offline derby each day — Deepborn, Treants, Sea Elves, Tigerfolk, Ogres, Djinns, and Aristocrats rotate through the week. Compete for top catch weight, earn guild reputation, and climb the ranks.
The online derby runs around the clock pitting your hero against other players from around the world.
Global Derby Leaderboard Special Derby LeaderboardTraveling Merchants
A merchant caravan arrives on a schedule and stays for a visit! Spend gold on equipment, sell spare loot from your inventory, and earn reputation with the Merchant Guild. Set an auto-sell tier so lower-rarity gear sells itself while they are in town.
Dreams
After dozing off, your hero will wake with dream bounties — short objectives for your to fulfill for the Dreamers Guild. Complete dreams to earn Dream Coins and spend them in the Dream Shop to round our your kit.
Expeditions
Guild hirelings offer timed outings, but with a risk! Select an expedition and return with resources, items, or reputation — if fortune favours the route.
