Frequently Asked Questions

Release & Access

Q: Do I need to complete any prerequisites to access the Jungle Biome? A: Yes, you’ll need to complete the basic tutorial and have at least a Tier 2 tube. The jungle entrance is located in the Forgotten Deep Dome area.

Q: Will the update be available simultaneously across all platforms? A: Yes, the update will launch simultaneously on PC, mobile, and console platforms. However, PC players may experience slightly faster download times.

Content & Features

Q: Is the Monkey King boss soloable? A: While technically possible for highly geared players, it’s designed for 2-4 players. The difficulty scales with party size, and solo attempts will be extremely challenging.

Q: Will existing fish still be valuable after the update? A: Absolutely! Many existing fish, especially mutations, will be needed for new crafting systems and artifact sets. Some may even gain new value in the jungle ecosystem.

Technical Issues

Q: What should I do if I experience lag in the Jungle Biome? A: Try lowering your graphics settings, especially particle effects and render distance. The jungle is more resource-intensive than existing areas due to dense vegetation.

Q: Will there be server wipes or resets? A: No, all your progress, items, and currency will be preserved. This is a content expansion, not a reset.

Economy & Trading

Q: Should I sell my current artifacts before the update? A: Hold onto them! The new Artifact Sets system will make many current artifacts more valuable, not less.

Q: How will the new World Event System affect regular fishing? A: World Events will enhance, not replace, regular fishing. During events, you’ll get bonus rewards for participating, but normal fishing will continue as usual.
