In the high-stakes world of Craverno, you’re always looking for an edge. Sometimes, that edge isn’t found in the dark alleyways, but on the peaceful docks at sunrise. The new Fishing Dock feature introduces a relaxing yet rewarding mini-game where your criminal mastermind can become a master angler. Whether you're grinding for extra XP or building a legendary collection, here is your complete breakdown of how fishing works.
The Fishing Dock is your hub for tracking your Skill, Rod, and total fish Caught.
Starting Screen: Gearing up at the Dock
When you first arrive at the dock, the interface gives you a clear snapshot of your angling career. You’ll see three key stats:
- Skill Level: Your proficiency. Higher skills likely unlock better spots or fish.
- Rod Quality: Starting with a rusty "Basic" rod, your equipment matters.
After casting your line, the suspense builds as you wait for a tug on the line.
The Tension: Waiting for the Bite
Clicking CAST LINE shifts the environment.
The screen enters a "Waiting for a bite..." state. This isn't an idle clicker where you walk away.
You need to pay attention because the action happens instantly.
The sound design and visual calm here are intentional—a quiet before the adrenaline spike of the catch.
The Mini-Game: Timing is Everything
The skill-based mini-game requires you to stop the indicator in the GREEN zone. Precision is everything.
The Reward: The Big Haul
Successfully hitting the green zone triggers the "Fish Caught!" screen. The game doesn't just give you a generic "fish"; it provides granular detail that appeals to collectors:
- Species & Weight: (e.g., a 1.7kg Mackerel). This suggests a detailed scale, where 1.7kg might be small, and a 10kg monster is the ultimate flex.
- Rarity Tiers: This Mackerel is marked COMMON. Expect Rare and Legendary tiers to be the true targets for endgame players.
- Experience Payout: This single catch awarded +24 XP, directly feeding back into that XP bar we saw on the start screen.
The CONTINUE FISHING loop is perfectly designed. It’s a satisfying, rhythmic grind that offers a legitimate break from core gameplay without losing progression momentum. rarity, and XP gains.
The Transaction: Cash on Delivery
When you land a successful catch like this 1.7kg Mackerel, the screen shows the immediate rewards: +24 XP for your character growth and a Rare item tag for your inventory. But what the screen doesn't explicitly show is the most important part—you can flip this fish. Head to the restaurant, unload your catch, and walk out with the money you need to dominate the streets. It transforms fishing from a simple hobby into a core economic loop.
