The utility provided by rare aquatic fauna cannot be overstated. Yet to use fathomless amounts of bait to acquire such specimens would hardly be a boon for our finances. Reeling in a hundred rare finds with a single lure─such is the aspiration of any fervent fisher. We challenge contributors to use the limited bait provided to capture as many rare specimens as possible.

— In-game description

Rare Aquatic Specimens is a Class A Stellar Mission in Sinus Ardorum. It requires Fisher to complete.

Objectives

  • Catch collectables with limited bait and achieve the target score.
  • Collectability will be scored.

Strategy

  • The target fish are Lunar Academician (!!) and Skipping Star (!!).
