And there is nothing more satisfying to me than FINALLY being able to afford that equipment you wanted/needed to progress. If you are patient and prepared to put in the hours, even if it gets boring at times, you will eventually get there just the same. One nice thing about this game though is that you don't HAVE to pay to play/win. You can always fish with weaker equipment and things like barbless hooks to gain more XP, at the risk of losing more fish and spending more time playing fish, which in turn decreases earnings. and you don't have to continually upgrade your equipment any more.Īlso, there is always a trade off between earning more money or XP.

When your equipment is of such a nature that you can catch the big stuff at White Moose, Everglades, Quanchkin, Saint Croix etc. Once you get to that kind of level it does become somewhat easier though. Not saying that I did everything perfectly, but I do think I played a lot, grinding waterways like Emerald and Neherrin for days at end, to be able to afford a bigger net, a canoe etc. Travelling, repairs and equipment is way too expensive for this. Without Premium Account and buying DLC, I cannot see how this is possible.
