Roof of the World[edit]

How to Play[edit]
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.
Max percentage for sanity remains at 150%.
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 Roof of the World 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 Roof of the World again!
You can lose Sanity by fishing on Roof of the World. 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 Roof of the World 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 Roof of the World. 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 Roof of the World is NOT recommended.
