All Features

In this guide, you will learn about each and every feature Big Tuna has to offer. Since this page only touches on each component of the game, make sure to use the links to cover the full usage of commands. This page is part of a collection of Guides.

## Fishing

Fishing is the centerpiece of Big Tuna, and while simple in concept, it opens up a world of limitless possibilities.

### Casting Your Line

Cast your line with the `**/fish**` command. An embed will appear showing several fish, one of which will be the one you catch. One of 3 things must then happen to complete the process, although it doesn't matter which:

* You press the "Catch" button
* Another player presses the "Catch" button
* 10 seconds pass

You will then be brought to a screen that shows which fish you caught, gained Coins and Exp, and any other relevant information.

### Cooldowns

By default there is a 75 minute cooldown for the `**/fish**` command. This cooldown can be reduced by upgrading your Rod, benefitting from Clan Perks, or by gaining access to Time Accumulation (although this doesn't directly lower the cooldown).

Once every 12 hours, you can also vote with `**/vote**` to reset your cooldown and be able to fish again.

### Bait

Upon reaching Level 10, players can utilize Bait to improve their catches. Bait is bought with Quest Points 🍭 from the Bait Shop and Server Shop.

### Weather

Weather affects fish spawns and changes on a daily basis. Each location has its own unique weather patterns. Use the **`/weather`** command to check the weather.

## Equipment

Understanding equipment is key to efficient progression in the world of Big Tuna.

### Max Weight

If your equipment cannot handle the weight of a fish, your line will "snap" and you will not receive Coins or Exp for that fish. The maximum weight your equipment can handle is calculated as the weakest out of the Rod, Line, and Hook.

Example Equipment Combinations
Price: Free
Price: Free
Price: Free
Price: 400 Coins
Price: 500 Coins
Price: 140 Coins
Price: 3000 Coins
Price: 4500 Coins
Price: 2300 Coins

### Bonus Effects

Equipment also provides additional benefits, which increases as you upgrade it:

* Rods decrease fishing cooldown
* Lines increase Exp gained from fishing
* Hooks increase Coins gained from fishing
* Gloves (unlocked at Level 20) occasionally increase max weight
* Rings (unlocked at Level 20) drop Fish Cards
* Swivels (unlocked at Level 50) increase max weight on Sharks

## Aquariums

Your best catch of each fish species is recorded in your Aquarium, which generates coins based on the quantity and quality of fish inside it. Each location has its own aquarium.

View your aquarium with **/aquarium [location]** (location will default to your current location). Collect Coins with the `**/collect**` command.

To increase your aquarium's capacity for Coins, buy aquarium upgrades from the Equipment Shop.

## Quest Points 🍭

Once reaching Level 10, players unlock Quest Points and a majority of the ways of earning them. Quest points are used to purchase Baits from the Bait Shop and Server Shop.

### Quests

Unlocked at Level 10, quests are accessible with the **`/quest`** command, and can be rerolled after 72 hours (48 hours with a certain Clan Perk). After completing a quest, claim your reward and see your next quest using buttons on the original quest page.

### Bounties

Unlocked at Level 10, bounties are accessible with the **`/bounty`** command, and is automatically rerolled every week on Sunday, 8PM EST. Bounties always require players to catch a fish above a certain tier (e.g. Northern Pike A-tier or higher). Unlike quests, every player shares the same bounty and can only complete the bounty once. Upon completing the bounty, the player will be automatically credited with the reward having no need to manually claim.

Bounties are more worthwhile than quests, so make sure to catch it when you can!

### Fish Cards

Unlocked at Level 20, Fish Cards can be acquired as an added bonus when fishing. The quantity and quality of Fish Cards is determined by your equipped Ring. Fish Cards can be given to other players, redeemed to your Aquarium, cashed in for Quest Points, or used to upgrade the Clan Boat.

## Special Features

### Legendary Fish

Once a location's aquarium is complete and filled with only A, S, or SS-tier fish, players have a chance of catching that location's Legendary Fish when fishing. These fish generate extra revenue in Aquariums, are worth more in Fish Cards, and give more Fisher Score than regular fish. Legendary Fish are extremely rare, but have their chances doubled during stormy weather.

### Fisher Score

The Fisher Score system is a feature that aims to estimate the quality of your fish collection. Each fish has a score, and your total score is the sum of each individual fish score. Each score is based off of the tier and rarity of the fish.

* To view server leaderboards by score, use **`/leaderboards score`**
* To check a scores breakdown of a location, use **`/scores [location number]`**
* To see global rankings, use **`/rankings`** (only available to Big Supporters)

## Clans

Arguably one of the largest components of Big Tuna, Clans offer a rich and interactive environment to speed up your progress thanks to Clan Perks. A Clan can have a maximum of 20 members. For advice, see What Are Clans?

### Passively Gained Perks

Every time a clan member catches a fish, it adds to the clan's running total. Passive perks are awarded at certain milestones:

### Actively Gained Perks

Clans may also purchase perks from the Clan Shop with Clan Points, which must be earned through the completion of Campaigns. These perks range from increased coins per catch to free Quest Points when voting.

### Campaigns

Campaigns detail how many of each specific fish is required for the Clan to catch to move on to the next stage. Each member may only contribute once per day - anything after that does not get counted towards the Campaign. Total contributions are tracked and are viewable at **`/clan members`** so don't slack off!

Rewards for completing campaigns include Clan Points, Quest Points, and Coins.

### Clan Boat

The Clan Boat is a piece of equipment owned by the Clan as a whole. It can be sent out at the expense of fuel, which is made by sacrificing Fish Cards. It is also upgraded by sacrificing Fish Cards. When the Clan Boat comes back, each individual member can claim the rewards of the journey, which comes in the form of several fish and baits. Overall, committed and trusting Clans should prioritize the Clan Boat, as it is a good investment.
