As of the Mini-Games Update, there are EIGHT different events in Net a Fish: Wave Rush, Lucky Tide, Gold Rush, Shimmer Surge, Packed River, Pearl Harvester, Awakenings, and The Kraken. Each of these events activates a unique effect/buff for a limited amount of time. See our full guide below to learn more.
As you’re playing Net a Fish, you’ll see various events spawn in the river. Every event offers a unique buff, including extra Luck, a higher fish spawn rate, chances to earn Pearls, and even grab a few Ocean Crates for free. In this guide, we’ve listed all the Net a Fish Events, their exact effects, and everything else you need to know about them so you know exactly what to do when a certain event spawns.
What Are All The Events in Net a Fish
As of the Mini-Games Update, there are EIGHT different events in Net a Fish. You can see the currently active and the upcoming events by clicking on the events icon in the top-right corner of your Net a Fish screen.
Below, we’ve explained every Net a Fish Event in detail so you can learn about all of them and jump into action as soon as a Luck or Money boost event starts.
What Is the Wave Rush Event in Net a Fish
The Wave Rush Event is a tsunami event that spawns every 10 minutes. You’ll hear a siren, and giant tsunami waves will run down the river. Every time a Wave Rush starts, there will be 3 to 4 tsunami waves. Each wave brings the following buffs:
- Rare fish have a higher spawn chance.
- More fish will spawn in the river.
- More mutated fish will spawn in the river.
There are four different types of tsunami waves that can spawn during Wave Rush: Small, Medium, Big, and Massive. Bigger tsunami waves equal bigger buffs. Massive waves have the highest buffs out of all the tsunami waves, but they don’t have guaranteed spawns.
What Is the Kraken Event in Net a Fish
The Kraken Event in Net a Fish starts every 45 minutes (at XX:45). This is the same in every server. You’ll see an announcement on the screen 1 minute before the event is about to start. When the Kraken Event starts, a Kraken swims up the river and stops at every dock. Cast your net in the water to deal damage to the Kraken.
Better nets deal more damage per hit. The more damage you deal, the better loot you’ll get from the Kraken. Below is the Kraken Event loot pool in Net a Fish:
- Cash
- mini-Kraken Fish.
- Pearls
- Ocean Crate
While the Kraken Event is active, a 2x Money buff also gets activated for the entire server.
What Are All The River Events in Net a Fish
There are 5 different River Events that can spawn in the river as you’re playing Net a Fish. These can spawn randomly and usually last for 2 to 3 minutes. Each of these events activates a single buff. See the table below to learn more about all of them:
| River Event | Effect & Buffs |
|---|---|
| Lucky Tide | Activates 2x Luck for everyone in the server. |
| Gold Rush | Activates 2x Money for everyone in the server. |
| Shimmer Surge | 3x more chance for fish to spawn with mutations. |
| Packed River | +50% more fish spawn in the river. |
| Pearl Harvester | Activates 2x Pearls for everyone in the server. |
What Are All The Awakenings in Net a Fish
The Awakenings are a global event in Net a Fish that spawns high-rarity fish across all the servers at the same time. This is your chance to catch fish of the Forbidden, Cosmic, Divine, and higher rarities. The table below shows all the possible Awakenings and their spawn times.
| Awakening Rarity | Spawn Time |
|---|---|
| Forbidden | A fish of Forbidden rarity awakens every 10 minutes. |
| Cosmic | A fish of Cosmic rarity awakens every 15 minutes. |
| Divine | A fish of Divine rarity awakens every 25 minutes. |
| Abyssal | A fish of Abyssal rarity awakens every 35 minutes. |
| Empyrean | A fish of Empyrean rarity awakens every 50 minutes. |
| Supreme | A fish of Supreme rarity awakens every 1 hour. |
| Zenith | A fish of Zenith rarity awakens every 2 hours. |
| Boundless | A fish of Boundless rarity awakens every 3 hours. |
| Eclipse | A fish of Eclipse rarity awakens every 4 hours. |
| Genesis | A fish of Genesis rarity awakens every 8 hours. |
| Obsidian | A fish of Obsidian rarity awakens every 12 hours. |
Whenever an Awakening occurs, there is a global announcement within the game. However, you’ll only see the announcement if your net can hold that rarity. For example, if you have a net that can hold a fish of the Eclipse rarity, you will get the Awakening announcement. But if your net is weak, you will not see the announcement, nor will you be able to catch the awakened fish.
That’s all the Net a Fish Events that can currently spawn in the game. As and when more events get added to the game, we’ll update this guide accordingly. So, make sure you check back after every major update.
