How to Play[edit]
Merlinado, the gatekeeper of Lucidia Preserve, a region with a struggling ecosystem, needs help in balancing the fish populations by using two fishing tools - the Guardian Grabber and Danger Destroyer! Follow the chapters in The Story of Saving Lucidia.
The ecosystem is represented by the meter and is "balanced" in the blue area. You must use each of the poles in order maintain the balance. Doing this helps avoid receiving damage from the environment (50k gold fee) and be able to receive collectable items from different fish that drop them. You will be warned if you become "Imbalanced" and a message will recommend you to equip the other pole.
The Danger Destroyer pushes the balance to the left or red side. The Guardian Grabber pushes the balance to the right or green side. For example if it is too far to the right in the green side it will state:
Ecosystem: TOO GUARDED - Equip Destroyer?
Or too far to the left near the red side:
Ecosystem: TOO DANGEROUS - Equip Guardian?
There are two collection sets you can gather while you are balanced: Old Litter and Guardian Stone.
Moving on to Coral Lobby[edit]
When you have handed in both collection sets, usually around when your fishing poles are level 22, you can unlock the next area, Coral Lobby, although it is advised not to start fishing there until your poles can catch the level 25 fish.
