[p][/p][p]Hey Anglers,[/p][p][/p][p]Since the Maldives Update, we’ve been getting feedback about the toughest battles in the game - the epic fights with Unique Swordfish and Black Marlin. Some of you mentioned these fights felt a bit too long, or that fish were escaping too often due to low line tension.[/p][p][/p][p]While that behavior isn’t a bug, as when these powerful fish try to escape, they can sometimes swim quickly toward you causing the line to go slack, we still wanted to make things more enjoyable for our players. Over the past few weeks, we’ve been analyzing your feedback and in-game data to find the best balance between realistic challenge and fun gameplay.[/p][p][/p][h3]Here’s what’s been done:[/h3][p][/p][p]1. Adjusted certain parameters to make the fights shorter. Our data shows that average fight times are now around 10–12 minutes, with the longest ones lasting up to 30 minutes.[/p][p][/p][p]2. Improved line tension mechanics. You now have more time to react when the line goes slack, reducing the chances of losing fish due to sudden tension drops. As a result, our statistics show a significant drop in the amount of cases when fish were lost due to low line tension.[/p][p][/p][p]3. Added a line of Trolling Octopus lures with a larger variety of hook sizes from #11/0 to #16/0, giving you more precision when targeting big fish and helping you keep them securely hooked. As every seasoned angler knows, the closer your hook size matches the fish’s mouth, the better your chances of landing it without escape. You can find all the new lures now in the in-game shop![/p][p][/p][p]We hope these updates make your saltwater adventures even more exciting, keeping the thrill of the fight while making every catch feel fair and rewarding.[/p][p][/p][p]Just a quick reminder: your pull and reel technique makes a big difference! Don’t forget to pull your rod with wide vertical movements while reeling in to keep the tension right and land that trophy catch.[/p][p][/p][p]Thank you for all your feedback and ongoing support.[/p][p]Tight lines and big catches to all![/p][p][/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][p]Follow us on social media to stay tuned and be in touch with our lovely community:[/p][p]Discord[/p][p]Facebook Group[/p][p][/p][p]You are always welcome to ask for help in our support:[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][email protected][/p][p][/p][p][/p]

[p][/p][h2]Supernatural Explorer Diary[/h2][p]As Halloween draws near, the air turns crisp, the days grow shorter, and a thick, low fog rolls in at dusk, blanketing everything in a misty veil. The wind whispers through the trees, carrying with it the scent of damp earth and fallen leaves, rustling softly as if nature itself is preparing for something ominous. There’s a sense of anticipation, the world is holding its breath, waiting for the mysterious wonder of Halloween night, and the Fishing Planet community is eagerly awaiting for one of their favorite events in the game! [/p][p][/p][p]Our journey begins on the Mudwater River, where the remnants of a long-sunken ship lie. Among the wreckage, we uncover an old chest, weathered by both water and time. As we pry it open, a layer of algae and sand gives way to reveal the Diary of the Supernatural Explorer inside. [/p][p][/p][p] [/p][p]The whereabouts of the explorer and the fate that befell him remain shrouded in mystery. Many pages of the diary have not survived, and some are heavily damaged. Within its worn covers lie a collection of gripping tales and intricate sketches. Were these terrifying monsters mere figments of his imagination, or did they truly exist? It’s up to our Brave Angler to unravel this mystery. [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]As you explore the pages of the Supernatural Explorer’s Diary, the ancient legends within come to life. You’ll face mythical creatures such as the Slide Rock Bolter, Armored Bighead, Double-Headed Eel, Dingonek, Akkorokamui, and Vampire Fish, among others - monsters that emerge from the misty mountains of Colorado to the distant Japanese islands. [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Guided by the Diary, your journey will take you across the globe, uncovering mysteries tied to haunted sunken ships and cursed waters. Every page reveals a new tale and each mission is rooted in the local legends and traditions of the region where it takes place, drawing you into the rich folklore and eerie tales that have haunted these lands for centuries. You will face terrifying creatures straight from the myths of each location. These missions will test your courage, skill, and preparation as you battle supernatural forces using powerful lures crafted from traditional items and mystical artifacts tied to the region's history. [/p][p] [/p][p]You’ll need to craft those lures from ingredients like grave soil, stale wine, fireflies, and enchanted relics to face these terrifying beasts. Each challenge brings you closer to uncovering the dark secrets behind these ancient legends. [/p][p][/p][p] [/p][p]The event lures—such as the Labradorite Spoon, Silicone Finger Tube, Piranha Duo Swimbait, Silver Bullet, Pearl Squid Jig, and Skull Jig—along with unique baits like Dried Fish Head, Rotten Liver, Suttung’s Mead, Pig's Heart, Bloody Flies, Blood Dough Balls, Cursed Aracu Minnow, Boiled Crawfish, and Poisonous Maggots—will aid you in overcoming the challenges and missions that await, enhancing your chances of success as you delve deeper into the mysteries of the event.[/p][p][/p][p] [/p][p][/p][p]After overcoming numerous challenges and missions across all continents, just when you think the adventure is over and you've earned your reward for completing the event—a beautifully crafted spinning setup featuring the Katana Soul 220 rod and the Samurai Shadow 15000 reel, Sou'wester Hat and a pond pass for distant island of Kaiji No Ri in Japan—a new challenge emerges, pushing you to face yet another fearsome monster! And trust us, it’s a finale worthy of the bravest anglers! [/p][p][/p][p] [/p][p]For those bold enough to complete the last mission, the ultimate reward awaits: the Japanese Squid Kabuto. This beautifully crafted helmet, symbolizing the mystical strength of the ocean, merges the warrior’s protection with the elegance of a true masterpiece. It represents power, resilience, and readiness to face any challenge that comes your way. [/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Event Challenges[/h2][p]Don’t overlook the additional challenges that accompany the main storyline! In Bolivia, you’ll encounter the Skull Challenges, where you must pay homage to the ancestors of the local people by completing their tasks. These challenges are not only a test of skill but also a way to connect with the rich cultural heritage of the region.[/p][p][/p][p] [/p][p]Another exciting challenge is the Ringing Ghost Bells, where you’ll need to showcase your dexterity and agility. Your goal is to ring all the ghost bells of the St. Sebastian Church within the allotted time. If you succeed, the ancient gods will lend their support, helping you overcome any malevolent spirits that may stand in your way. [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]You will also encounter something that you already know from the previous years. Pumpkin Candy Bait will be there for you to catch Bluegill skeleton event fish on all the freshwater locations, and accomplish Sweet Tooth achievement. These Halloween pumpkin jellies are just the perfect bait to liven up that holiday spirit and awaken your inner child as you go on a night hunt after monstrous bony anomalies that find pumpkin Candy simply irresistible! [/p][p] And don’t forget to hunt for the wheels from Phantom Ships, scattered across the waterways involved in the event! Collecting them will reward you with special event baits and exclusive items. [/p][p][/p][p] [/p][p]Each waterway holds its own secrets, so keep your eyes open as you explore. Be sure to interact with every object you come across—every location has its own surprises waiting for you. Don’t miss a thing! [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]There's something else to boost your Halloween spirit!
