The Blue Moon Update is a much-needed update that manyFischplayers (including us) have been craving for. Even though it’s a small weekend update, you can enjoy some of these benefits for almost an entire week, and some are here to stay even after the event is over. Here’s Everything new in theFischBlue Moon Update.

Double XP Week
We can’t even begin to explain how much we all needed another Double XP event. Ever since the2X XP Update, the devs haven’t given us a way to gain levels faster, and yet they expected us to gain another 1,500 levels inthe Second Sea.
Here’s the best part:this event lasts for almost 7 days!Yes, now is the time to raise those levels, and maybe even get thatNo-Life Rod or even the Seraphic Rod. Of course, if you already have those, you may want to level past that, but, as you’ll soon see, that may not be the best course of action…
Blue Moon Event
Want even more XP? The Blue Moon Event is here.During in-game Winter, the Blue Moon event may trigger.You’ll know it when the sky turns blue. We actually managed to witness one in Spring, but that was just the devs testing out if it worked.
During the event, you can visit two locations:
In either of these, look fora door with a Moon Symboland enter to find a fishing pool. Each Sea has its ownBlue Moon bestiarywhich you may fill, but what you’re really after here arethe Moon Idols.
If you manage to fish out a Moon Idol,you get a +50% XP buff for a whopping 24h.Now, that’s good value. Unfortunately, you’ll need to wait for winter to take full advantage of this.
Additionally, when Winter hits, you should also buy a bunch ofBlue Moon Totems. You can buy theseat Lushgrove during a Clear Winter Night.
Nine small Quests in the First and Second Sea
Throughout the First and the Second Sea, you may come acrossnine NPCs with a quest(usually next to the piers). Normally, they need you to find an item, catch a certain fish, or catch a few fish in a limited amount of time; easy stuff. In total, there are nine of these NPCs, and you should go out of your way to do each of their quests because the rewards are pretty good (likeKraken Tentacle Bait).
AFK Mines now gives XP
You know the Mine next to Moosewood that many don’t even know about? Yeah, theAFK Mines. The devs finally made it soyou gain XP while you’re AFK in the mine, along with Luck and those rare items. For some reason, we weren’t able to enter the mines and check for ourselves (probably a bug), but the devs will likely fix this issue soon, and we’ll let you know exactly how much you can get from this.
Balancing and Quality of Life Tweaks
We can’t say exactly what this means, but we can certainly quote the developers:
Corporate talk or are theFischdevs actually listening? If they are, thenyou may not want to get too attached to the Second Sea. During thelast community pollon the officialFischDiscord, the majority of players voted that the Second Sea should be removed entirely… twice! We can’t say if this is actually going to happen, so only time will tell. As of writing this, the Second Sea is still in the game.
New Premium items
Naturally, just like with all updates, we’ve got our usual bundle, boat, bobbers, and rod skins. Here’s everything on the menu:
That’s all there is to it. Now stop reading this guide and go level up while the event lasts! If you haven’t already, check out ourFischcodesfor some in-game freebies.
