It is not very helpful to call a complex game, which has been constantly developed for 12 years and is designed for years of play, "trash" after an hour of play.

It didn't take too long for me to go from level 2 fishing to level 30 fishing - maybe an hour - I was doing other stuff, dropping back in to rotate the guy between fishing, cooking and selling - if you are in a rush, you can just fish, fish, fish, dumping the catch without cooking and selling it

People who have gotten the badge: how long did it take you? I'm figuring out whether or not it's worth trying to get the BOTD (while watching a YouTube video on another screen).

There's actually a much closer Fishing Net spot at 29,6 which is near the General Shopkeeper.
That said, Net Spots seem to only give level 5 fish and seaweed, so once you hit level 10 or 15 it's more efficient to swap back to fishing rod, for both XP and gold.
Also, there are achievements for both fishing and cooking at L30, and if you cook all your fish hauls, cooking will level at approximately the same speed, so you can get two badges at once.

Oh and feel free to just destroy the fish in your inventory if you don't think you'll ever play again, it'll free up inventory space and won't waste your time. Plus there's a convenient destroy all button.

@Kosh67 Items placed in a chest can be accessed at any other chest. There's a chest in the respawn area you can get your weapons from, but even if you lose your weapons and tools entirely, you can fight tools boxes in the area with the chickens north of the respawn area to get replacement tools- they're designed to be weak enough you don't need anything to kill them. You can also harvest the 'floating debris' in that area without tools. You may take a little damage doing these things but it'll regenerate quickly enough when you stop. There's an NPC with purple hair at the bottom of the respawn area who'll buy anything. You can buy basic tools and weapons from other NPCs in the respawn area. I love this game, but I admit the tutorial could be better. But hey, that's what I'm here for!

Step 2
Once you get to fishing level 5 you can purchase the fishing net for 100 coins once again still from the Dorpat Fishing Master (Dorpat 12,12) and fish at (Dorpat 61,6).
Getting there is a bit tricky, but if you use the click and move system you should be able to find your way over there.

The coordinate system I'm using in this tutorial is the basic game coordinate (x,y) system, you should be able to see this in your upper right.
Step 1
To begin fishing, you need to equip a fishing tool. The most basic tool is the Fishing Rod.
If you didn't get one from Tutorial Island, you can purchase a fishing rod from the Dorpat Fishing Master (Dorpat 12,12) for 40 coins.
If you don't have coins and you lost all your equipment to an orc mage who kicked your butt, feel free to kill some cows, white rats, chickens, and hens for some basic drops. feel free to attack "Tools boxes" and "barrels" for some basic drops
Conveniently there's also fishing spot at Dorpat (6,13) where you can fish and then cook the fish you fished at the campfire (Dorpat 17,18) to sell it for a higher value.
Make sure to go back to the Dorpat Fishing Master (Dorpat 12,12) to sell your fish once you get them so that you can afford the Fishing net

OK, next gate and hey! Here's a boat! OK, this took me to a town, a one way trip of course, so bye bye, chest with all my weapons. So what am I supposed to do now? I assume this means that since I have no weapons, I can no longer get the "easy" BOTD, unless, of course, I'm missing something, whatever it is. I also had an encounter with a Orc Mage who kicked my butt, stealing my axe and my fishing rod. So what am I supposed to do now? 1/5. Also, Kongregate, if you’re only going to allow 1000 characters in a comment, how about giving us a live counter of how many characters we’ve actually used like pretty much every other site on the web does, too, instead of expecting us to live count it in our heads so we don’t get an error message when we try to post our comments after pouring out all our emotions and forcing us to cut it back? 1/5 for Kongregate as well. 2/2

I'm sorry. I tried to like this, but this game is absolute trash. The tutorial makes absolutely NO sense. Even worse is that when you go through a gate in the tutorial you can't go back! This is ESPECIALLY bad at the end when the guy tells you to put EVERYTHING in "your" chest to get access to the market place and... OK? Have you SEEN the prices at the market place? I've got something like 60 coins and the prices people are asking are up over a MILLION! I put everything in the chest, went back to the "tutor" and he told me the same thing. Something didn't seem right, though, so I took my tools out of the chest and went through the gate and discovered I had enemies to kill. Of course, the gate being one way, I couldn't go back to get my weapons which were, of course, in the chest. 1/2

Equipment should not take up Backpack slots. If you are WEARING something, logically it would not still be in your backpack. I also hate that I can accidentally unequip something just by clicking on it wrong.

There are a lot of "idle" games out there, but as far as I know, this is the only game with an overabundance of "idle" mechanics yet which actively discourages idle play with spontaneous timed CAPTCHA requirements. For the first time in my entire life, a game is actively trying to punish me for using the toilet. And you thought this was such a fabulous idea that you copy-pasted the same game and released it again twice? Amazing.

I GOLed (Groaned Out Loud) when I saw that this game had another BOTD this week. Isn't a game supposed to rate higher than 3.5 stars to be a BOTD? And how did this game manage to get 3.5 stars?

Is there any particular reason (besides bad game design) that I can use a steel axe to cut Lv. 1 wood, but can't use a steel fishing rod at Lv. 1 fishing spots?

Ask for sawdust in market, mine sand to buy. Yeah, it's obtuse as hell, but beneath the intentional confusion it's extremely simple. 5 to start ought to work.

This game is defined, above all else, by tedium. Everything is automated so as to be boring, so instead 99% of the challenge comes from the game seemingly deliberately making it as confusing as possible; laying out maps that look like they were designed by Jackson Pollock and not telling you where the one thing you're looking for is on them, and linking skills to each other in ways in which the game refuses to elaborate. The breaking point for me was the fungiculture quests, which were available right from the beginning, even though, according to the Wiki, "You can only do it on sawdust, which you can only lay on your own island after you buy it for 35K, and only after you've unlocked the dungeon with lv. 30 carpentry (which, by the way, you can also only begin to start leveling up after unlocking the island)." And again, this is something it presented as an entry level quest.

It takes 708 farming XP for level 10. you get 3 XP for clearing debris. You need to clear debris 236 times. I died 4 times doing this.
I got 1 captcha check which gave me 100 XP and I put that into farming so that was a nice boost.

I like how crowd mentality works. Some people decimated the game with negative comments and got a lot of likes, and some people wrote long constructive negative feedback and got tons of negative points.

Why are enemies just standing there... menacingly? They don't move around. They all just face the camera. There are no movement animations and no attack animations.

Warning: don't play this game for hundreds of hours to get meaningless badges unless you actually enjoy it. There are plenty of games to play where you can get the same difficulty badges faster. If you want to play something like this, you might as well play Runescape, which is a classic for a reason, but it's way better. That's why millions of people are playing that game. I can honestly not see the fun in this game, but if you like it, good for you.

so why does a trashy game have SO many badges? i hate how chars just sliiiide around instead of a simple walking animation. also the terrain is way too busy and is giving me a migraine.

Hi, when trying to switching servers, it logged me off with no login window available once I choose server. Can I get help? Seems it's because of not setting up password.. thanks!

I agree. It would be different if you were just missing out on a positive thing (like a gift or reward) but when it also has a negative effect, that seems a bit extreme. Are there other games that have a negative effect for being AFK?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Being AFK is not the same as botting. I wish the captcha at least made some sort of sound to notify me like the level up sound does. I'm not going to sit and stare at the screen while my guy chops wood.

Lifeless game. Bad graphics with no character/enemy animations. The enemies are just standing there and are waiting for you to attack them

@archerbob: You can both destroy and sell them. However, that one is an event item. It's rare and decorative, but doesn't boost your stats.

I don't understand. If he sells for 50% instead of 15%...wouldn't that be worse for you? Also, what kind of material do you want to buy?

Has anyone else had the captcha thing not work? I tried to submit and it just... didn't. And then nothing else would work until I refreshed the browser.
