* Is there anything else I should know?

Yes! You will need to collect different types of drops to produce lures in the mill. You can choose between Fishing (normal), Premium and Deluxe lure. You will always catch something! The Premium and Deluxe lures will increase the number of fish you catch - 1 fish for Fishing lure, 2 fish for Premium lure and 3 fish for Deluxe lure!

*Note: All Players will receive 1 free Normal Lure at the start of Event to try out the mini-game.

Also, please note that the Fishing event is similar to the previous one, but it has been improved! The better your lure is, and the better the spot you catch the fish on, the better is the reward! The brighter the spot - the better the catch! Depending on the spot in which your fishing circle overlaps with the big circles, you can catch the following fish:
The dark blue areas is the worst catch, the lighter blue the medium one and the grey one is the perfect catch!

The fish that can be cought in weak (dark blue), good (light blue) and perfect (grey) spots can be found below.

Tip: The mini game works the same way as the Mach-o-Meter (Renzo's Fair) - you can click first and release the mouse button the second your perfect circles are overlapping!

Find below an example of perfect catch:
