Innsmouth Island
Innsmouth Island is an island in Farovia that is Halloween themed. It was originally the only Island location in the Eldritch Islands region with the story line remaining unfinished until the further release of the remaining islands four years later. Innsmouth Island was first released October 18, 2018, and is the 61st island released in FW (39th in Farovia).
The first 10 of 18 chapters of the Eldritch Island story for all of Innsmouth Island was written by Lucy Snyder (player and author) and the art done by Zie Fauzi is based on Lovecraftian themed artwork Lovecraftian search.
NOTE: Its travel location number is 63, NOT 61, as it was released just prior to the 2 new Roperian Garbage Patch locations with the change in plans to release it for the Halloween time.
Innsmouth Island[edit]
Description: Innsmouth Island is in a mysterious and difficult-to-locate part of Farovia. The town of Innsmouth resembles a run-down New England fishing village. It would be picturesque if it weren’t so creepy. The island is frequently covered in thick fog, and strange things seem to be moving in the mist and shadows...

Unlocking Innsmouth Island[edit]
You must either complete The story of Ten Year Storm or pay 250 RLC to unlock The Story of Eldritch Islands Adventure (if you pay the 250 RLC make sure you are unlocking Eldritch not TYS). Then you can progress through the Eldritch Islands adventure:
- Catch the Harbinger Fish in Waterport. You may have to use Liquid Gold.
- Talk to Earl, purchase the Lovecraft boat and the Eldritch pole at WaterPort.
What to Catch[edit]
| Fish | Min. Pole | Population Status | Min. Points | Min. Gold | Min. Skill | Chum Preference |
|---|
A rogues gallery of each Innsmouth Island fish can be found in The Fish of Innsmouth Island.
What to Buy[edit]
- Eldritch add-ons
- Innsmouth Suit "pole" and add-ons
- Chums sold: Tidepool Mush Chum, Kelp Paste Chum, Fruit Medley Chum
- A repair shop is available should poles or boats break
How to Play[edit]
There are two poles, which will need to start with the Eldritch pole. After completing that pole will need to purchase the second Innsmouth Suit pole.
Following the story line will eventually lead to catching the Level 55 Asenath Fish. This will likely take a little while as you will need to progress through the first pole and half way through the second in order to catch that fish. In the meantime can perform pole quests as normal.
Before trying to catch the multi-pole Mother Hydra Fish, please see that page for its warnings and tips regarding major Sanity decreases.
The The Story of Eldritch Islands Adventure will only get you to Chapter 10 of 18 after having caught the Mother Hydra Fish. The story line remains unfinished and will be continued in an as yet unreleased new Island location.
Sanity[edit]
There is a game mechanic called Sanity (please see for complete info and strategy) that will limit how long you can fish there. Deckhand trips, DH Vouchers, Crew trips, and tournament casts will not impact Sanity. Auto-Fish seems to not affect Sanity. Auto-Fish uses Sanity, similar to normal trips. Using skips will count as active fishing. Night fishing does not use Sanity.
Wrangler experience shows that the percent decrease amount appears to be based on the point value of that fish caught.
You risk the chance of awakening on a random beach, if you fish with 0% sanity. Plus, you’ll have to regain at least half your sanity to voyage back to one of the Eldritch Islands. Make sure you stock up on Crazy Pills before you try fishing at this horrifying place! Crew trips and deckhand checks do not count towards your sanity.
Note: if you go below 0% Sanity, not only will you find yourself transported to a different Island (likely in Wahwahport) and needing to travel back, but this will also cost you Gold. With the following message received:
These baby fish are very soothing. Soon you’ll be able to face the terror of Innsmouth Island again.
OH NO! The horror was too much for you. You’ve awakened on the sweet sugar sand of Wahwahport, surrounded by concerned onlookers. You can’t remember how you got here, and you lost 29,540 gold. And you really don’t feel well at all.You’ll have to fish here until you get at least half your sanity back. Stock up on Crazy Pills before fishing at Innsmouth Island again!
You can lose Sanity by fishing on Innsmouth Island. You can gain sanity by fishing in Waterport, fishing in Wahwahport (regains twice as fast), slowly over time (~30%/hr), or taking a Crazy Pill.
You will be unable to travel to Innsmouth Island so long as your Sanity is in the Red. Which is less than 50% (50% works). You will still be able to see your Sanity percentage regardless of what Island you are at until your Sanity is totally filled (100%/125%/150% depending on your Eldritch Islands progress). At which point the Sanity will no longer display unless you are back in Innsmouth Island. However, you can shuttle to and fro from Roperia and continue fishing even when your Sanity is lesser than 50%.
TIP: As Sanity appears to be based on points value of the fish, using a 2x-8x Points special bonus boost while fishing at Innsmouth Island is NOT recommended. Especially not while attempting to catch the Mother Hydra Fish.
Moving on[edit]
As of October 13, 2022, you can unlock the new Yuggoth island by following the story line for The Story of Eldritch Islands Adventure. You will need to have caught the Mother Hydra Fish and do some actions at Innsmouth beforehand.[1]
