Rarities Reference¶
Every fish has a rarity tier that determines its value, XP reward, and how likely it is to appear.
Rarity Tiers¶
| Rarity | Emoji | Base Chance | Sell Multiplier | XP Multiplier | Color |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Common |  |
~70% | 1x | 1x | Grey |
| Uncommon |  |
~20% | 2x | 1.5x | Green |
| Rare |  |
~7% | 5x | 2.5x | Blue |
| Epic |  |
~2.25% | 12x | 5x | Purple |
| Legendary |  |
~0.6% | 20x | 10x | Gold |
| Mythical |  |
~0.15% | 50x | 25x | Red |
| Unique |  |
Event only | 500x | 50x | Gold |
How Rarity Is Determined¶
Base chances are modified by:
- Rod rarity bonus — Each rod adds a flat percentage bonus (e.g., Mystic Rod adds +30%)
- Bait rarity bonus — Equipped bait adds an additional bonus (e.g., Magic Bait adds +30%)
- Location rarity modifiers — Some locations give extra chances for specific rarities
These bonuses shift weight from Common toward higher tiers.
Value Calculation¶
A fish's coin value starts from:
Value = Location Base Value x Rarity Sell Multiplier x Trait Multipliers
Size, weight, and pattern also nudge the final number up or down a bit around this baseline — a larger, heavier, more elaborately patterned specimen of the same species and rarity sells for more.
Example Values by Location and Rarity¶
| Stream (15) | River (30) | Ocean (65) | Deep Sea (100) | Arctic (140) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Common (1x) | 15 | 30 | — | — | — |
| Uncommon (2x) | 30 | 60 | 130 | — | — |
| Rare (5x) | 75 | 150 | 325 | 500 | 700 |
| Epic (12x) | — | 360 | 780 | 1,200 | 1,680 |
| Legendary (20x) | — | — | 1,300 | 2,000 | 2,800 |
| Mythical (50x) | — | — | — | 5,000 | 7,000 |
Dashes indicate that rarity is not available at that location type. See the Locations Reference for base values of every location type.
Trait multipliers stack on top. A Giant (2x) Mythical fish from the Arctic would be worth 14,000 coins.
Unique Rarity¶
Unique fish are special event-only catches that cannot appear from normal fishing. They have a 500x sell multiplier and 50x XP multiplier — but you might want to keep them as collector's items. The most common way to get one is catching a Monster Fish while placing 1st in a Monster Fish event.
