Uh... Blacked out for a moment there...

Man, this game has gotten its hooks into me *fierce*. Wasn't sure if I'd like it or bounce off it, but figured I'd at least approach it on its own terms, rather than try and overlay my other 'progress game' obsession onto it (Stardew Valley).

Some speculative purchases are a bust; this very much isn't one of them.

I just had a fishing streak of 14 eggs in a row.

I want fish, not eggs.

That is a rough run! I wouldn't want to go so far as to pitch it as a hard and fast rule, but at least for me, Sea Eggs have tended to come from 'mid size' silhouettes. You could perhaps scare those off, and focus on small and large silhouettes? To be sure, you'd miss out on the novel new fish that have mid-size silhouettes, but perhaps it'd lessen the pain for you a bit?

However, note that some of the recipes are unlocked by getting a certain number of eggs. I have no idea if this counts only eggs in your inventory or also eggs you previously gathered which are not in your inventory.

I feel like they turn up based on cumulative collection. I've triggered new recipes while only having one or two of a given egg in my pockets.

It isn't quite like that. Not *wholly*, at least. I think that is just the time when that person 'entered the eligible 5'. I hopped onto this Island earlier, and it took me over 5 minutes just to successfully fly to it. I was in and out as quick as I could - literally ran to the store, sold my stuff, left a gift, and hit the airport for the return flight - and all told, that was about 15 minutes of my time on aggregate when accounting for 'interference' and people flying in and out.

I suspect just about everyone has all types of fruit on their islands by now, but in case not, all my trees are bearing fruit today. All types of fruit are available. If you do hop on, please only take one trees-worth of each, to leave some for others.

(My turnip price is piss-loving poor, at 97 bells, so definitely don't bother with a speculative connection on that basis!) Edit: Able Sisters have some pretty neat stuff in today.

Edit: gate closed - thanks all that visited; hope you got what you wanted.

Edit: I think I'm now out of cherries. Still got plenty of everything else.

Edit: Just realised I'm out of peaches too. Apples, Oranges, Coconuts, and pears left.

edit: how are people making money so fast that they're paying off these house loans and terraforming the entire island in like a week? Are they just waiting for 600+ turnip prices on the stalk market?

I did my first big (and that is big my amateur standards) turnip sell the other day, and it if you can find a good price, it *really* does help, yes. Imagine being to add even 500k to whatever else you make in a week, with some modest stalk action. Worth engaging with it a little bit, just to help you get those final upgrades you want.

I'd like to know this too - my tastes are a little manila compared to the average goon... :backtowork:


Maybe it's all the spare hours I spent digging up clams over the last week saying this, but: perhaps running around to find fish shadows is not actually what you're supposed to do to win a "catch as many fish as you can in a short time period" kind of challenge.

In case you were not aware, Bait doesn't cause sunken trash or water eggs to appear.

No worries, I'm well aware of that. The emoticon is very much in jest, because the egg rate is waaaaaaaaay down compared to what it used to be, and I take the slight 'efficiency' hit in good grace. Currently 80 points away from 300.

Some eggs, or the donkey-work of getting clams and crafting bait? Enter the Thunderdome...

Edit: The short version is that I'm enjoying this event a lot, and I'm actually liking a lot of the item prizes too.

There is just way too much CJ dialogue for me to attempt 300 in one day. At least if i break it up over 2-3 seasons, it'll be a nice trophy at the end of it.

I mean the shovel already will not break while hitting rocks (until you're done), and the axe won't break until you're done hitting the tree, so it's actually possible they thought about this. I still packed a second rod just in case. Never broke one mid-tourney.

I had a fishing rod break mid-tourney. Not in a position to say if it lasted longer than a non-flimsy fishing rod though.
The amount of CJ dialogue is a bit insense if you are grinding out tourneys for sure; I just 'B'ed my way through it.

Having hit the 300, I sit back and think, 'Job well done'. What can I say? I like fishing mini-games! :haw:

I didn't craft the egg specific outfits though

Yeah, I was a tad surprised too. Wound up polishing off all the egg recipes and getting the final, final prize because, well, why the hell not, and I can sell that poo poo for slightly better bells. That plus the fact you can trade up between egg types on the day... They really didn't need this one to last an entire fortnight. (Edit: Actually, maybe I'm overstating that. 27 of *each* egg...
