Ninjala Fishing

**Ninjala Fishing** is an activity in the Visual Lobby/WNA Resort. Standing near the water (shores and ponds) lets players fish.

There are 3 fishing types to select from, Simple Pole-and-Line Fishing, Realistic Surf Fishing (Bait) and Technical Surf Fishing (Lure). Each type adds a step of complexity to it, with Technical Surf Fishing (Lure) being the most complex and Simple Pole-and-Line Fishing the easiest one.

There are multiple goals to aim for: accomplish weekly/permanent Missions, rank high in weekly/seasonal Ranking Boards, participate in Events and complete the Fish Encyclopedia called the Aquapedia. Players accomplishing these goals will obtain various rewards such as Stickers, Ninja Medals, Research Points and even Jalas.

## Guides and Tips

Tips and guides can be found in:

* Fishing Guide in the Fishing Portal by pressing
* Fishing Guide while Fishing by pressing
* How to Play Ninjala Fishing on the official website: https://ninjalathegame.com/en/news/info/ninjala-fishing.html

## Fishing Portal

The Fishing Portal is a menu centered all around Ninjala Fishing. Players can edit and register fishing gear sets, look up fish in the Aquapedia, take a look at the fishing map, missions, currently ongoing events and leaderboards. Also, pressing  opens the Fishing Guide that covers a lot about Ninjala Fishing. The Portal can be accessed through the Base Menu or within the Visual Lobby/WNA Resort.

## Fishing Gear

To be able to fish the player needs to equip a Fishing Gear Set. This set can be created, edited and equipped through the Fishing Gear Menu in the Fishing Portal. The Gear Menu is similar to the Favourites and Avatar Slots. Mulitple sets can be registered there. A set consists of a Fishing Rod, a Fishing Rod Appearance and a Bait. The Fishing Rod Appearance isn't neccessarily needed though. When starting the game there is one default rod available. Further rods can be purchased in the Shinobi Shop. Every rod can have different attributes which can influence the process of fishing and are therefore very important. For example there is an attribute to improve the stamina of the rod. The Fishing Rod Appearance is, as it's name suggests only for the visual appearance. If a player does not like the look of their rod they can change it with this option. Additionally the color of the fishing line can be changed. As for the Baits there are two types, Bait Gum and Lures. Similar to rods these have different attributes. In general Lures can sink all the way to the ground while Bait Gums are limited to a depth of 15m. Baits can be obtained through the Goddess's Fountain, completing Missions or by buying them in the Shinobi Shop.

The Gear menu is split up into two tabs, a Pole-and-Line and Surf Tab. Depending on what set in which tab is equipped the player chooses a type of Fishing. Creating and equipping a set in the Pole-and-Line Tab results into Simple Pole-and-Line Fishing. As for the Surf Tab both of the other two types can be selected, Realistic Surf Fishing (Bait) and Technical Surf Fishing (Lure). To choose a specific one the right Bait has to be equipped, a Bait Gum for the realistic fishing and a Lure for the technical fishing. On the Pole-and-Line Tab it is not possible to equip a Lure at all, only Bait Gums can be equipped. Also, not every rod is selectable in the Pole-and-Line Tab. It is very important to be on the desired tab when selecting a gear set because the same set can be used for the first two fishing types, Simple Pole-and-Line and Realistic Surf Fishing.

### Tips

#### Baits

Bait Gum can only sink down to 15m which will be configured before the hookset. Lures don't have a limit, they sink until they hit the ground. The maximum depth in the game is 33m.

Non-default baits have the effects "Fish Bite Chance Up" and "Fish Weight Up". The more expensive the better the effects. But any of these can be used for any fish rarity. So fish up to the rarity legendary can be caught. The more expensive the bait the higher the chance to catch a royal size fish (fish with more than average weight, basically a heavy fish). That does not mean that it's only possible to catch royals with an expensive one. Cheaper ones can be used too, it's only the chance that increases with the price.

So the important thing to decide is Bait Gum or Lure. Or with other words, is the habitable depth of the desired fish above or below 15m. Lures can be used for any depth, so if the desired fish habitates for example between 6m and 9m both, Bait Gums or Lures can be used. Another deciding factor is the ability or effect condition which apply to different sizes. So for example, Egi Lures have the ability "Fish Bite Chance Up" with the condition "Large". That means, it's more likely to catch a large fish with it. So this Lure could ideally be used to catch a large epic or legendary fish.

#### Rarity and Fishing Rods

* **Common and Rare**: can be caught with Default Rod, with any Bait Gum and Lure, on multiple locations, for saltwater the rule applies: the farther the fish the higher the chance of catching a royal one
* **Epic**: cannot be caught with Default Rod, a min 5 star "fishing rod attribute" rod is needed, its very difficult (but possible) to find with a default bait gum/lure, better use other baits
* **Legendary**: cannot be caught with default and 5 star rod, a 6 star rod is needed, depending on the fish a "fish stamina down" for the specific size is needed as well, default baits cannot be used

## Map

Fish can be caught on different places across the Resort. To catch every fish it is important to not fish on the same location. The Map tells player where other players from the Resort caught which fish and how much they weighed. So, not only is the map useful to find a specific fish but also to catch heavy ones. Heavy fishes are important for ongoing Events and completing the Aquapedia. The Map can be accessed through the Fishing Portal or by pressing  within the Resort.

## Aquapedia

The Aquapedia is a fish encyclopedia containing information of all fish. These infos include their names, rarity, aquatic, habitable depth, size and description. The latter two pieces of information are locked if the player hasn't caught the fish. Even though some information are locked, the Aquapedia still provides enough information to catch a not-already-caught fish to eventually complete the Aquapedia.

For each fish the number of caught is registered as well as the highest weight. These are important for the specific fish missions. Every fish in the Aquapedia comes with its Catch Missions, where a certain number of it must be caught as well as its royal size. These missions are like Permanent Missions and are always available. Completing these reward players with Stickers, Bait Gums, Lures, Research Points, Gold Medals and Badges. The rewards are determind by the rarity of the fish.

## Missions

Simmilar to Ninjala Pass Missions there are Missions for *Ninjala Fishing*. These are divided into Permanent, Weekly and Event Missions. Permanent Missions are always available as many of them needs a lot of time to accomplish. These mostly consists of Missions like "Catch a saltwater fish 300 times" and therefore can be seen as milestones. Every Mission rewards the player with Jalas.

Weekly Missions are available throughout the week. There are 5 of them and completing those reward players with various Bait Gums, Lures or Research Points.

Event Missions are only available during Events. For example, the "Ninjala Fishing Release Celebration Campaign!" was held in the beginning of Season 12. During this, a Special Mission can be accomplished: Catch 10 fish to get 100 Jalas.

## Rankings

Simmilar to the Weekly Rankings in the Ninja Lab players can compete in *Ninjala Fishing* in weekly and seasonal Leaderboards to obtain Ninja Medals and Research Points. To enter a Player has to catch the currently requested fish. The higher the weight of the caught fish the higher the player ranks. The requested fish changes each week or season.
