Fishing Frenzy Event Guide: Harpoon, Net, Bomb & All Rewards

🔴 FINAL WEEK — Fishing Frenzy ends August 19, 2026 at 05:59 (UTC+8). One week remaining. Critical: The event adds 100 new fish per day, but stops adding fish after Day 12 (approximately August 14). Clear your fish stock before August 19 to avoid waste.

💡 1.3 UPDATE: Version 1.3 (August 19) will permanently increase City Stamina consumption speed to 200% base rate (300% total with Tycoon Level 16 bonus). The Fishing Frenzy method will no longer be needed after 1.3 launches.

The Big Discovery: Harpoon + Net + Bomb

The standout feature of Fishing Frenzy is three new fishing tools that replace the standard rod-and-bait system for the duration of the event. The community has quickly discovered that combining all three tools is the fastest way to clear your weekly 700 City Stamina in NTE — far more efficient than any other method.

Tool	How It Works	Best Use
Harpoon	Throw directly at fish for an instant catch	Single large fish or precise targeting
Net	Cast a wide net that catches multiple fish at once	Dense fish clusters
Bomb	Explosive area-of-effect that stuns or catches all fish in range	Maximum efficiency, clears entire pools

The community consensus is clear: use Bomb → Net → Harpoon in sequence to clear each fishing spot as fast as possible, then sell all caught fish immediately to convert them into City Stamina consumption. One full run through the available fishing spots can exhaust the entire 700 weekly City Stamina in a single session.

Community tip (186 upvotes): “I lowkey want them to make this permanent — just Harpoon + Net + Bomb. Quickest way I have ever exhausted the 700 stamina. Also a lot more fun than standard fishing!” — r/NevernessToEverness

How Fishing Frenzy Works

Catch Points

Every fish caught during the event earns catch points, which serve as the event’s primary progression currency. Catch points are used to unlock rewards from the event reward track and increase your event level.

Event Leveling

As you accumulate catch points, your Fishing Frenzy level increases. Each level-up grants:

• New fishing tools or tool upgrades (unlocking the Bomb at higher levels)
• Access to additional fishing spots with denser fish populations
• Bonus catch point multipliers

Selling Fish for City Stamina

A key mechanic that many players overlook: caught fish can be sold at the in-game market to consume City Stamina. This means Fishing Frenzy is simultaneously an event for earning rewards and the most efficient City Stamina sink currently available. Do not let fish expire in your inventory — sell them immediately after each session.

Important: Fish spoil after 24 hours if not sold. Always sell your catch at the end of each session.

Efficiency Guide: Clearing 700 Stamina Fast

The optimal Fishing Frenzy session follows this pattern:

1. Open the event map and locate all available fishing spots (marked with fish icons)
2. Use Bomb first at each spot to stun or catch the maximum number of fish
3. Follow up with Net to collect any remaining clustered fish
4. Use Harpoon for any stragglers or fish in tight spaces
5. After clearing all spots, go to the market and sell all caught fish
6. Repeat until your 700 weekly City Stamina is fully consumed

A single full run through all available fishing spots typically consumes 80–120 City Stamina. With 700 weekly stamina, expect 6–9 runs to fully clear your weekly allocation.

Fish Tank Connection

Version 1.2 also introduces the permanent Fish Tank system for your house. Rare fish caught during Fishing Frenzy can be placed in your home aquarium rather than sold. If you are working on your Fish Tank collection, prioritize catching rare species before selling your haul — check the fish species rarity indicator before selling.
