Complete Fisch seasons and weather guide

The seasons turn, as the Byrds would say, and that is indeed what happens in Fisch. With ever-changing weather and seasons slowly turning, how can you make the most out of it? We will take a look at all the different seasons in Fisch and how to profit from the weather as well.

How to control the weather in Fisch

In Fisch you will find that there are six different weather conditions. Each one will affect the catch rate for certain fish, but the good news is that, except for the default condition (clear), all other conditions can be changed by using a specific Totem.

Here are the different weather conditions found in the game.

As mentioned, most of the weather conditions will simply affect the type of fish you can catch, except for the Eclipse and Aurora Borealis. Both of these conditions occur quite rarely, not without the use of a totem, but can allow for some special events to happen.

• Eclipse: required to open the Ancient archives, along with collecting the Solar Fragment, doesn’t affect any kind of fish.
• Aurora Borealis: increases luck by 600%, will make the player earn the “experienced true beauty” badge.

How seasons work in Fisch

Much like in real life, Fisch features four different seasons: Spring, Summer, Winter, and Autumn. Each one lasts about 576 real minutes or about nine hours. You can find out which season you are currently in by checking out the button at the bottom right of the screen.

Fish affected by the turning of the season will spawn at a much faster rate, of about 25%. If you also possess the Seasons rod, this rate will be even higher, about 20%, for a total of 50%. During off-seasons, the fish spawn rate will be lowered by about 15%, this occurs even if the fish doesn’t have a preferred season.

How to modify the time of day in Fisch

Much like seasons and weather, the time of day also plays an active role in how many fish you can catch in the game. The way the time cycle works in Fisch is alternating the rising and setting of the sun and moon. In turn, these events constantly affect the catch rates of fish, which are in turn called diurnal or nocturnal.

Each day and night cycle lasts around twelve and a half minutes, with an entire day taking around 25 minutes of real-time. There are several factors that can extend or modify this duration, for example, issues on the server such as lag or other player-related factors such as the use of a Totem.

If you are looking to speed up the day and night cycle, you can use a Sundial Totem. If you are fishing during a fish’s preferred time, then the catch rate is the default one, but outside of it, its spawn rate will be drastically reduced by a whopping 90%. If a fish doesn’t have a preferred time, the penalty will always be present, regardless of the time.

To disable these effects, you can get ahold of the Nocturnal Rod, which can be obtained from Synth’s Shop, found in Vertigo, for 11,000C$. If you are looking to quickly fill the Beastiary, its high luck stat and lure speed penalty make this Rod a great choice.
