Events and challenges — HistatuFishing

Events change the water for a while: what is biting, how fast, what the weather is doing, and in one case where the shoreline is. Each is tied to specific components and specific fish, so an event is the only route to some of the catalog.

ℹ

An event is a named set of multipliers

None of these are built one at a time. Underneath sits a set of per-world multipliers on the numbers that decide how fishing feels — bite delay, minigame speed, band width, line strength, junk and treasure chance. An event is a named, time-boxed set of those multipliers plus catch-table overrides, scoped to a world or a region.

A fish frenzy is bite delay at a quarter. A treasure hunt is treasure chance turned up. The fog, tide height and aurora are presentation, not logic.
