# Fishing
## Overview
Fishing is a low-risk adventure mode to earn some $HERO and collect items with in-game utility. Unlike battling, Heroes don’t need a weapon equipped to go fishing—making it a great option for newcomers or low-level Heroes.

## Fishing Mechanics
Players can choose to send their heroes to four different fishing locales, each offering unique fish species and zone-specific items to catch:
* **Slime Bay**
* **Shroom Grotto**
* **Skeet Pier**
* Magma Mire
> 🌋 Magma Mire is exclusive to Season 2.
Each Fishing trip lasts **12 hours**, after which Heroes will return with:
* A **Main Catch** (automatically sold to Fishercat for $HERO)
* A chance at up to **two bonus catches:** one **Weapon Shard** and one **zone-specific item**
Fishing is influenced by **Hero level** - higher level Heroes earn more from catches and are **more likely to return with bonus items**.
***
## Rewards
After returning from a fishing trip, your Hero will bring back:
* **🎣 A Main Catch** – Always guaranteed. Automatically sold to Fishercat for $HERO.
* **🧰 Bonus Catches** – Up to two additional rewards *may* be found per trip:
* 1 roll for a **Weapon Fragment**
* 1 roll for a **zone-specific item**
> 💡 Bonus catches are **not guaranteed**
### Main Catches
Every Hero returns with **one guaranteed main catch**, which Fishercat instantly buys for $HERO. The payout depends on **catch rarity**, **Hero level**, and a bit of **RNG**.
| Zone | Legendary Chance | Regular Chance | Junk Chance |
| :---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------: | ---------------- | -------------- | ----------- |
|
| Random between 2 - 5 $HERO |
> **💰 Legendary catches sell for significantly higher $HERO rewards than regular catches.**
### Bonus Catches
Heroes may return with up to **two bonus catches** per fishing trip:
1. A **Weapon Fragment** (common to all zones)
2. A **zone-specific bonus item**
These items come with **in-game utility**, and the chances increase with Hero level.

### Leaderboard Points
Each Hero sent fishing also earns you leaderboard points based on the travel fee!
{% hint style="info" %}
Leaderboard Points = 2 × Entry Fee
{% endhint %}
e.g. A level 5 Hero will pay a 45 (20 + 5 x 5) $HERO entry fee, so they will receive 90 Leaderboard Points for their voyage.

## 🧭 Looking Ahead
This is just the start of Fishercat’s journey. Each season will bring new fishing zones with unique fish to collect, along with new mechanics like bait, rods, and support items to keep the game evolving. Stay tuned!
