# Off Season Fishing ## Welcome to the Off Season!

Onchain Heroes is moving to a hybrid on-chain + off-chain architecture, unlocking faster, more dynamic gameplay. Off Season Fishing will be the first feature built on this new tech. This event introduces a fresh spin on the fishing loop, featuring: * [An energy system](https://docs.onchainheroes.xyz/current-off-season/energy) * The ability to send Heroes home anytime * Collectible fish * [Bait](#the-baiter) that boosts fishing * Instant load times {% hint style="success" %} Heroes must be **added to your Hero Squad** before they can be used in the game. Visit the [**Hero Squad section**](https://docs.onchainheroes.xyz/current-off-season/hero-squad) to learn more! {% endhint %} *** ## Gameplay ### Requirements * Atleast 1 Idle Hero in your [hero-squad](https://docs.onchainheroes.xyz/current-off-season/hero-squad "mention") * [**Energy**](https://docs.onchainheroes.xyz/current-off-season/energy) **–** Varies per zone * [**Bait**](#the-baiter) (optional) – Used to boost fishing performance, can be obtained from The Baiter. {% hint style="success" %} **No travel fees!** As a gift for saving the world from Dragma, Fishercat is waiving them for the off season. {% endhint %} ### Overview

Each fishing trip consumes a set amount of energy. If available, [bait ](#the-baiter)is automatically equipped, with the highest-rarity bait assigned to the Heroes with the most energy.

Players can send their Heroes fishing for **any duration**. **Longer trips** improve the odds of catching rarer fish while **lowering the chances of common ones**. Each zone has a **max fishing time** where **odds stop increasing**, so it’s best to reel in once you’ve hit that limit. Below is a visualization on how catch percentages change over time:

Values shown are for demonstration only and don’t reflect actual in-game catch rates.

{% hint style="success" %} Keep an eye on your Hero's catch percentages in game to optimize when to reel in! {% endhint %} ### Zones Offseason fishing will introduce 3 new zones, each with unique sets of fish! A new feature in fishing is the ability to keep the fish you catch. **All caught fish are stored as Misc. items in your inventory.** Each zone contains: * **A Mythic Pudgy Fish** (Available in all zones) * **10 Zone-bound Fish**

*** ## Fish Market

The Fish Market is where players can sell their fish in exchange for [**Ocean** **Marbles**](https://docs.onchainheroes.xyz/current-off-season/marbles)**.** ### Deal Types There are two types of deals available when selling fish: * **Regular Deals:** Standard fixed prices. * **Daily Deals:** Each day, 3 fish are randomly selected for boosted prices (10–69% above the regular price). Deals refresh every 24 hours at **12:00am UTC**. * *Each fish in a daily deal can be sold at the boosted price up to 5 times. After reaching the cap, that fish can only be sold at its regular price.* {% hint style="success" %} *At the end of each week at **4:00pm UTC**, all marbles are submitted to Abstract to be allocated for XP.* {% endhint %} *** ## Bait {% hint style="warning" %} Baiter output rates are not final and may be subject to change in the future. {% endhint %} ### Overview

**Bait** is a trinket gear item that boosts a Hero’s chances of catching higher-rarity fish while reducing chances for lower-rarity fish. Its effectiveness scales with bait rarity.\ \ There are eight bait rarities. **Common → Mythic** bait can be obtained from the Baiter, while **Godly Bait** can only be obtained through crafting. > **Example: A Hero with Mythic Bait, fishing for 3 hours** > > * **Mythic catch chance:** 4.2% → **10.25%** > * **Epic catch chance:** 9.7% → **19.9%** > * **Rare catch chance:** 29.3% → **60.1%** > * **Uncommon catch chance:** 56.8% → **9.75%** If a player has bait in their inventory, it is **automatically equipped**, with the highest-rarity bait assigned to Heroes with the most energy.

Bait	Effect
Godly Bait	185% Chance boost
Mythic Bait	105% Chance boost
Legendary Bait	65% Chance boost
Heroic Bait	40% Chance boost
Epic Bait	25% Chance boost
Rare Bait	15% Chance boost
Uncommon Bait	10% Chance boost
Common Bait	5% Chance boost

### The Baiter

The Baiter is a special machine that converts staked weapons and armor into bait. The Baiter is the **only** way to obtain bait. * **Weapons** generate bait faster than **armor**. * Batches of bait are generated at the **end of each daily cycle**. * Loading gear during a cycle adds its bait output to the **batch queue**, which is processed at the end of the daily cycle.

#### Generating Bait Each piece of gear produces a fixed amount of bait, determined by its type and rarity. The bait’s rarity always matches the rarity of the gear. The quantity of bait produced varies by gear type: | Gear Type | Bait Rate | | :---------: | :--------: | | **Weapons** | 2 bait/day | | **Armor** | 1 bait/day | {% hint style="warning" %} Baiter output rates are not final and may be subject to change in the future. {% endhint %} Each gear piece in the Baiter can store up to 5 bait. Once full, no more bait is generated until the stored bait is collected. ### Crafting Bait

**Bait can be upgraded to the next tier through crafting.** Crafting combines multiple bait of the same rarity to attempt an upgrade. Each attempt has a chance of failure, and on failure, no bait is returned. Crafting is the only way to obtain **Godly Bait.**
