01 / THE GUIDE
Location Comparison
Visit each of the four fishing spots and note dominant fish species, ambient sounds, and visible puzzles. Comparing these details highlights which area yields the best tips versus the richest lore.

Create a simple table listing each customer, their favorite fish, and the tip size they provide. Look for patterns such as mythical patrons offering higher rewards for rarer catches.
- Observe each customer’s reaction to different fish to infer their preferences.
- Mythical patrons may prove especially generous when you deliver the right catch.

Upgrade Impact Review
After purchasing a new rod or scaling tool, record any change in catch speed or the size of fish you can process. This helps decide whether functional upgrades outweigh cosmetic ones for your goals.
- Prioritize functional upgrades like scaling tools early to handle larger fish.
- Balance cosmetic purchases with gear improvements to keep the experience fresh.
