Tombani Town + Teamwork = Electric Catfish

From the left: Me (Salty), Fisheur and Weezle.

I just recently got to level 80 so now Tombani Town has beeen unlocked for me. There is an area inside there which is a small pond surrounded by a big fence. There are also two large plates on the ground outside of it, and if two guys stand each on one plate then the fence lowers itself into the ground and other players can enter and fish in there. If anyone moves away from the plate/s the fence raises up again and everyone inside is thrown out!  =)


And so logically, cooperation is needed to get in there. Me, Weezle, and Fisheur went there together to check out what type of mysterious fish the pond holds. We each took turns with fishing and standing on the buttons. And at first we didn't have much luck with the fishing in there, so I switched bait to Cherries and a couple of casts later I caught a really cool fish, an Electric Catfish. And shortly after me Fisheur also caught one of those on maggots. It's a 4-star fish too so it's good xp!

We only caught a few of the fish in there so maybe there is some other cool and yet unknown fish in the pond?

Doesnt it look awesome?!

Remember that teamwork always works out in Fishao! =)

Have fun!

Paddlefish caught again! (wr)

Today is a short update. But a pretty cool one. The mysterious Paddlefish has been caught again. This time by the player Weezle. He didn't want to tell me what time of day it was. I only know it was caught in Laketown and that the "bait" was hook. Oh... and the world record was shattered with a staggering 1.54 Meters!

Guide: Earning fishcoins

-How do I earn free fishcoins?

Lets start from the beginning. The first thing you want to do is to complete all the stages of the tutorial to get all the coins from it. Then there are some different things you can do.


                    Bobs Minigame
Make sure you visit Bob in Rio Tropical. When you talk to him a minigame starts that lets you pick up 10 coins on the ground. You can do this once a week.

                     

                     Herb
This little fella is at a different area every day, offering you a quest to catch some fish for him. He rewards you anywhere from 2 to 8 coins, as far as I have seen.

      
                          Achievements
There are two categories here, Local and Global. Just click the little fish to the left of your screen and you can see all the achievements available. Every area gives you 1 coin for just speaking to all the NPC's there, so that one is easy and fairly quick to do. Another really easy one is to collect seashells at Pinheira Beach.

                    Tournaments
Here is where you have the highest potential for coins. The more players in a tournament the more coins you can win. The prices are based on the total entry fee for all players (5 coins per player). Winner gets 35%, 2nd place 25% and 3rd place gets 15% of the total entry fee. So lets say there are 20 contestants, that means that 1st prize is 35 coins.

Referrals
For every person that you refer you get 1 coin per level above 5 that they reach. You find the referral section if you click your profile and then go down to referrals. There you have a personal link that you can give to other people and hopefully earn some coins from.

Three 5-stars in ONE day + WR

So yesterday was by far my luckiest day in Fishao ever. I actually caught THREE 5-star fishes in ONE day, one of which was a new world record!

The first one I caught was the Red Scorpionfish on the Boat on sea tournament. I was using Luck Potion 2, so that helped.

The second one was the Kaluga Sturgeon and this time I was not using any potion. To my lucky surprise this fish was also a new wr. The old wr was 109 cm and the new is 151 cm.

The third 5-star was yet another Red Scorpionfish!

If you get hold of a trinket like a Lucky Potion, Magic Watch or Radar, using them in tournaments is a smart choise.

Lucky Potion is best used where you need experience points (Boat on sea) and also in the Lake run tournament where the longest total length of fish wins, since some of the rare fish are huge (Mekong Giant Catfish).

Magic Watch is best used in the Magic 15 tournament where you need to catch 15 fish as fast as possible.

Radar is good for all tournaments.

Have fun!

New 5-star fish + Radar

Sailfish
Yesterday I recieved a new 5-star fish from the player Weezle. As far as I can tell noone has ever caught this fish before. He caught it on fish during daytime in Seagull Harbor. Nice catch!

Tournaments and coins
Now since there are more and more people coming in to play this wonderfull game, tournaments have become an even more exciting part of it and you have a good opportunity to earn fishcoins this way, if you are willing to "gamble" a little. Remeber, the more players in a tournament the larger the price money is =)

Also, if you need more coins, you might want to check Bob in Rio Tropical. It might be changed so that you now can get 10 coins per day from him, instead of 10 coins per week. Im not 100% certain though, but I was able to go to him two days in a row.

                                     Radar
I'm sure some of you are already somewhat familiar with atleast the existence of the new fish radars that you can buy from the store.

There are three different types as you can see in the picture. Green, white and blue. They work by simply highlighting areas with fish in them , also known as hotspots. The better the radar the more accurate it is and the longer it lasts. Remember that you can use these in tournaments as well, but you can only use one trinket (Radar, Magic Watch or Potion) at a time.

Without radar                                                 With radar

Fishao now open to the public!

I'm very happy that Fishao now took the step out of the beta-phase. Lots of new players are playing now and the numbers are steadily increasing. For the first time today I saw over 100 people logged in at the same time.

So if there are any new players reading this I welcome you to the world of Fishao! =)

Luck Potion 2

I tried one of the new Luck Potions today. I got my hands on Luck Potion 2 and, yep, I was very happy with the results! Or what do you say about a 5-star Mandarinfish? Not bad, not bad at all =D

Running Shoes

A player was also kind enough to loan me a pair of Runner Shoes, the ones you can now buy in the store. And that was really fun. I was running around probably twice as fast =) I recorded a video of it but unfortunately I got some technical problems with the clip, so sorry about that!

The Easter Bunny, Santa, Batman, and...Luke Skywalker?

Anyways...



Have fun! =)

Fishao Updated!

There are plenty of new updates in Fishao today!

In fact too may for me to mention all of them. The smartest thing is if you just log in to Fishao and check the new stuff in the shop =)

There is also a fish market now on Pinheira Beach to the left of the pier. It seems you will be able to sell the rare fish that you have caught. And my collection of those just grew bigger as I caught a 297 cm Beluga Sturgeon in Cool Mountain yesterday. Thats almost a 3 meter fish. But I did actually catch an even bigger fish, a 526cm Hammerhead Shark! Which means I am now #3 in Fishao on biggest fish.

You can sell the 5-star fishes you caught.

I'm not certain what times the fish market is open though. But have a peek every now and then =)

On a "sad" note though I don't have a Fishao rod any longer. It was just a loan and I had to return it today =(

Since I have to buy a new rod now and since I'm pretty broke, it will take a while before I can blog about the new cool stuff in the game. But hang in there guys, I'm doing my best =)

Also thanks for all the emails and messages I get about the blog!

Now go and check out the new stuff if you haven't already =)

Have fun!
