The most important things to know before your first island run.
Sell Common Fish, Hold Strange Drops
Ordinary early catches are your upgrade fuel. Anything boss-like, quest-like, or unusually named should stay in storage until a guide confirms it is safe.
Upgrade Around Your Bottleneck
If the fish are escaping, buy rod power. If catches are killing you, buy weapons. If runs are slow, prioritize mobility and repeatable sell routes.
Use Co-op Roles
One player casts, one controls landing space, one handles damage, and one runs sell trips. It keeps physics chaos profitable instead of just funny.
Do Not Face-Tank Bosses
Most boss fights reward movement and terrain use. Treat every large catch like a fight, not a bigger version of a normal fish.
