A new chapter of Halloween festivities has arrived, introducing a collaborative fishing challenge where participants can obtain rare aquatic specimens – the Crimson Scalefin and Violet Ripplespine. These elusive catches exclusively appear during special windows in the recently unveiled Gemstone Grotto, accessible at specific intervals throughout the event period.
This guide outlines navigation strategies and angling techniques for acquiring these unique aquatic creatures.
Collaborative Angling Challenge Overview
This collaborative event occurs every four hours with brief five-minute sessions. Participants worldwide collaborate to improve collective capture probabilities through cumulative catches. Unlike standard fishing mechanics, success here depends purely on coordinated participation rather than individual luck modifiers or equipment enhancements.
Unique mechanics emphasize synchronization over gear bonuses – all participants share equal opportunity regardless of rod enhancements or consumable benefits.
