This guide is for novice friends who want to try fishing.
Let me first talk about the purpose of playing fishing. The official announcement is that there will be airdrops to the first 10,000 active players within two weeks. First of all, the range is quite large. The most important thing is that the items in the airdrops are of high value. The highest value is the island, and the current floor price is 5e, which is about 50,000 RMB.
There is an algorithm for activity. You can refer to the previous algorithm. There will be modifications but it is probably about the same: (today - date of joining) + game time + #bigfishx 3) + #medfishx 2) + #smlfishx 1) + #btcx 5) + (#sticks) + (#rope) + (#milox 10) + #msgsin discord)) x 0 + (#kelp)
To sum up: fish more, be more online, different fish have different weights.
The specific method to increase activity is at the end.
Without further ado, let’s get straight to the point
If you plan to play games to get the second phase airdrop, you must register, because the later airdrops will come with your email, and it is recommended to bind your wallet at the same time, otherwise you may not pass the witch test.
Game link: https://alpha.castaways.com/ (You can go to channel 25 or 15. Some sea areas have more props and fish. Go directly to: https://alpha.castaways.com/?s=hub25&r=102122 (If you need to change the sea area, just change the underlined 25.)
Register by clicking the key in the upper right corner
Fill in the email address and verification code. If you don’t receive it in your email, right-click it and it may be in the trash, or the email address may be entered incorrectly.
You can use any email address to register, including QQ, 163 and other domestic email addresses. The rumor that Google email is better is just a rumor.
After registration, it is time to choose a name. Since the official name is tradeable, it can be understood as a domain name in the game, so you can choose it carefully. If the name you entered is not successful, it means that it has been registered by someone else, so just change it.
Next, enter the game, and you will automatically get a small raft. If the raft does not appear, it means that the game is stuck. Just refresh the webpage and re-enter the game.
1. Specific operations in the game:
When sitting on the raft, press the space bar to stand up; when standing up, right-click your character to sit down
Arrow keys: W: forward; S: backward; A: left; D: right; Q: throw items; E: open/close backpack
When you are out of energy, you need to eat fish to replenish your energy. Click on the fish in your backpack, and then you can eat the fish by right-clicking on the sea surface.
4. Make a fishing rod. Press E to open the backpack and click the fishing rod icon on the right to make a fishing rod (provided you have 3 branches + 2 ropes)
2. Early game play:
After entering the game, you have nothing in your bag. Next, you need to collect branches and ropes on the sea. These two are the most important in the early stage of the game, because you need to synthesize fishing rods to catch other things. In the early stage, just search for these two things like crazy.
Pay attention to collecting in crowded places. These two kinds of supplies will appear behind other characters. You can pick up the items by passing through them. If you can't pick them up, it means it's stuck. Just stand on it for a while.
3 branches and 2 ropes can be combined into a fishing rod. Press E to open the backpack and click the fishing rod icon on the right to make a fishing rod.
Fishing gameplay:
1. After you have collected all the branches and ropes, you can finally start the game and begin to understand the essence of this game, which is fishing.
2. Then right-click the place you want to fish, cast the rod, and wait. A small game similar to Audition and QQ Dance will appear. After playing the game, you can catch something. Audition should be played well. Too many mistakes will lead to failure in fishing, so clumsy people should practice more.
Then the fishing action is divided into two situations: fishing for materials and fishing for fish. If you want to fish for materials, you can fish anywhere and just cast the rod; if you want to fish, you need to find a school of fish. The shadow of the fish will appear on the sea surface, and then right-click the location of the school of fish and cast the rod, and you can fish. The school of fish looks like this↓
4. One person can catch small fish such as crabs, shrimps, and turtles. Big fish such as whales and sharks require 2 or even 3 people to catch. When you catch a big fish, the system will prompt you. At this time, just wait for others to help you. If you see someone else catch a fish, you need to rush over to help as soon as possible.
Because the mechanism of fishing for big fish is that several people fish for a fish at the same time, and then compete to see who is better at playing the mini-game. The big fish belongs to whoever finds the big fish first. So you have to practice the mini-game well, otherwise when you encounter a big fish, you can only play as a weakling on the other side.
The big fish tip looks like this↓
To summarize fishing, select a body of water and right-click your mouse to cast out the fishing rod and start fishing. Fish where there are fish, and what falls out where there are no fish are supplies.
After you catch something, you just need to press the arrows, just like playing Audition, practice more and it will be easy to catch. You must replenish your physical energy in time, otherwise your backpack will be emptied after your character dies.
Conclusion
According to the given formula and corresponding weights, I have circled out the items that need to be kept. There are 5 types of fish, and the supplies are: keys, BTC, and dolls. You will need a key to open the airdrop later, so you need to keep at least one key.
Other small fish can be eaten to replenish physical strength. The remaining supplies cannot be folded and will take up space in the backpack, so it is recommended to throw them away directly.
Finally, let’s talk about the eligibility requirements for airdrops:
1. Must be a registered account (link email and wallet)
2. Play games every day
3. Don’t keep your browser open 24 hours a day (don’t leave it idle)
4. Game duration (may refer to game duration)
5. Robots are easily identified (don’t use scripts)
So the general advice is to bind your email and wallet, play every day, fish more (keep the medium and big fish), keep BTC and dolls, and keep at least one key.
This guide is for everyone who likes to play games. If you want to communicate with more players about the game, you can contact us. I hope everyone can get the airdrop they want!
