New Fishing Achievements & Borders!
There's also a new achievement altogether for fishing underground! Fishing up anything counts toward this achievement and once you reach 100, you'll get the new Underground Fishing avatar border.
You can change your avatar borders here.

starting to sort of get the hang of it? I think "you are getting very close" actually means "you're closer than you were on the previous turn".. but not necessarily close to the perfect spot at all.. taking that into account helps me get at least somewhat nearby now.. managed to get 2 rare items since this news post was posted (
and 
).. and I already had 1 from the previous tier of the achievement, so I'm up to 3/5 now \o/

Did the frequency of underground fishing change? It's been 15 minutes and it keeps telling me to wait a while.

Now I remember why I gave up on the dumb fishing game because it doesn't make any sense. How can I be very close then on the next click right next to that be nowhere near it. It's just random luck. I wish it took a little bit of skill, that would be more fun.

I've been on Subeta for 17 years and I never fished up the treasure or got any rare items, as it's impossible to know which items are rare as they all say "game prize".
I would play fishing more, if there was more transparency or if the game became easier. I get rare achievements and stuff, but my main complaint is be fair to everyone.

The grid pattern is more than weird.
Of the rares Shimmering Serpent Seal is definitely one and I think Small School of Neons was one as well.

ok still very confused I keep getting "you are getting very close" multiple times in a row and then for the last try I click a spot within the same grid square and it says "you were NOWHERE near it!" ..... ????????? is this fisherman lying to me or what :')

I'm going to be adjusting the text soon, @BoaConstrictor, for what consists as rare when you get it. Right now you just have to keep an eye on the achievement increase.
(It's about to be jewish new years and I generally am away from my computer for those so I can't promise it will happen this weekend but soon!!)

@Frenchi thank you for explaining, I never knew that (and lately I've been mostly visiting subeta on my phone, so you can't even see the coordinates in the bottom of the screen there with a touch screen)

I'd still like to know, which items qualify as rare among all the r160 fishing prizes... I'm stuck at 3/5 even though I since then got a few, which I would have titled rare on a "so close" landing point. I'm tired of checking the achievement page every time...

More tiers please. :D Not now. Maybe in the future...with more prizes. I love this!
I only just realized that we can fish every hour. <3
Thank you @Frenchi for explaining the fishing game. I never knew that you could actually see the number of the pixel and gage from there what you have to do. u_u

@JackyMedan @cryptozoology @bailey
yes, the fishing screen is a 400x400 pixel grid. if you hover your cursor over any single pixel on it, you can see the coordinates you're about to click on at the end of the target URL (usually shows up in the bottom left/right of your browser window). every pixel is indeed a different spot; i think the grid lines are just to help you keep track of what area you were clicking in, but don't actually reflect any functional division within the map.
that means there are 160,000 fishing spots, and you get 5 guesses, and the only information you have is:
1. whether your latest guess is closer or futher than your previous guess...
2. UNLESS the game considers you "very close" to the treasure, in which case you will just keep getting a message telling you you're "very close" without any sort of comparison to your previous guess.
this makes it impossible to actually gauge if your guesses are getting closer or further, or which direction you should be investigating to narrow things down. there is no narrowing down. there's also no clarity in what "very close" means. am i in a 10 pixel radius of the treasure? 100 pixels? 20,000? there is not and never has been any transparency as to how this game works.
honestly, can we PLEASE get some sort of change to make fishing easier? or some kind of explanation of the ambiguous factors like "how close is close"? i've been using this site for nearly 15 years and i've only ever fished up ONE item considered rare, and i've certainly never found the treasure.
i understand achievements being rare and luck based, but i dunno, this game as a whole just feels insane and i think everyone agrees.

Thirding JackyMedan and cryptozoology’s inquiries. I am curious myself about the aspects of the fishing game so that I know if I have been playing incorrectly … cannot seem to find a forum topic about it.

cryptozoology
Seconding JackyMedan's question because,,,,, hhhhurhh pixel by pixel??? That would be an INSANE difficulty and like??? Why have a grid?? It would explain how I've been playing for almost 20 years and never got the treasure though ;w;

Rare item found! 
But I can only find 3 more until I no longer have any indication of what counts.

5 rare items? I almost never find anything at all. Wish some achievements weren't so random that it could take years to get them. Pretty borders.

Love to see older games on here getting a little attention & given an excellent excuse to play them! I've fished more today than I have in ages. â•°(*´ï¸¶`*)╯♡

All my boarders say they are LOCKED even though I know I achieved...some? Should I file a ticket?

JackyMedan
That regular fishing achievement border is so pretty <3 (real question though, is it true that you have to be pixel perfect to find the perfect spot and not just have to find the right square in the grid?? I thought the perfect spot was one of the squares of the grid, not a specific pixel within one of those squares.. it's kind of an important distinction to know so genuine question)

Truffula
the first time I fished after this announcement I got something I've never seen before. On my first fishing attempt, I hit "the spot" and got... not a rare item.. but 1 million sP
Is that supposed to be a thing?

I love fishing! I understand that it can be frustrating, but I really enjoy the game. Now if only I could fish up those remaining two items. Looking forward to unlocking the new borders!

Roadkill
happy for the little that can stand to play that infuriating waste of time lmao, in not subscription myself to that thing ever again. imo fishing is legitimately the worst game on the site. go try being pixel perfect on a phone. just try it. and it doesn't even tell you that! you assume each square is a spot and then have to learn from the forums years later that no, the site just doesn't bother to tell you the grid means absolutely nothing. and now it's 1-2 hours between go's which is "fixed". yikes. :\

@StarShadow Like the news post says, they aren't on the list yet but will show up soon. :)
@Lypsyl I fixed it to be what it should have been. It should never have been a thing you could do 1-3 minutes. The logic of the code was broken and now works correctly. If I kept it (broken), I would've had to make the border be after catching like 10000 fish. :P I'll work on this week getting a timer on the page (no promises!).

You broke underground fishing :(. I've been fishing in the underground for years and you can fish every 3 minutes. However since the achievement came out I've managed to fish once, and now I only get: You should probably wait a little while before fishing again.
Sigh...feels like the Card Crusade issue which says: You can only play Card Crusade 5 times a day! even though I haven't been able to play since 04/6/22.

Nice! I've had the Underground Fishing on my on-site bookmarks for a long time and fish there frequently so I'm glad to have a new achievement! :)

I see that fishing has a 1 hour wait & I can set an alert. Any idea how long to wait for the underground fishing since there's no alert & it just says to wait.

I don't see either of these borders in my locked list yet. Hopefully they will be added soon. Thanks.

This is so funny, I've been getting back into the fishing game a few weeks ago and now there is a new achievement? Nice!

I quit fishing once I finally won... It never made sense to me. No matter how close it said I was I would always end up so far away. ðŸ˜
And the underground fishing, I kind of forgot about that one. I think I got tired of it.

I've only fished out something rare once and I've been playing for almost 9 years :cries: lol I want that borderrrrr

Maybe we should make a guide on which items from fishing are considered rare items if it includes ones that aren't from finding the best spot (which I don't think I'll ever do without a huge piece of luck)

Amber
hahahahah. And that's the point, @BoaConstrictor! When I was adding in the achievement, I noticed the code wasn't working like it should. That's why I made the tier 100 for the border (it was 50 but that's because I hit submit too quickly and had to edit it). It wouldn't take years to get but it shouldn't take like two days either.
3
BoaConstrictor
Thank you, Amber!
lol, when the border was at 50 and I wrote in my thread, it'll be done within a day or two, I almost added "providing Amber doesn't tinker with intervalls" rofl

There's no set time, @BoaConstrictor. It's random on what you get, right now the highest time possible being 1.5 hours. I'll fine-tune this some throughout the week (especially if I can get the counter showing) but it's not going to be 1-3 minutes like it was before (again! mistake in the code that allowed for that).
4
Amber
@Life @Cobaltbluetoo I fixed it. It was never supposed to be you being able to fish again within minutes. The code even had the logic right in the notes, just not the actual code!
I'll work on getting it to show how much time you have left this week.

I've played fishing "You're getting very close" and "you were nowhere near it". I can't figure out how to find the spot, so I gave up a long time ago. Never got anything rare either

I'm glad the Fishing Game logic still sucks XD
"You're getting very close"
"You're getting very close"
"You're getting very close"
... "You were nowhere near it!"
"You're getting very close"
"You're getting very close"
"You're getting very close"
... "You were nowhere near it!"

Damn, I wish the Underground Fishing achievement was retroactive, because I've been fishing my heart out the last few weeks 😅 Oh well, back to fishing I go lol

Alright, what's the time between fishing now? I fish at the end of each set of Quests to keep track of how many points I earn and just now, after 15 Quests I was told I had to wait. Time please.

Underground fishing achievement! I'm all in!
Regular fishing achievement... I'll do my best LOL
I remember once upon a time a page/guide for fishing that I have never found again.... once that increased the odds of fishing something nice depending on the first 2-3 spots you choose for fishing... anyone knows what this is or where I can find it again?

Good luck, @Life! That's why I didn't go crazy with that tier, I know the fishing game achievements are harder because it requires either the perfect spot or pretty rare. The items from the rare pool aren't like UB, so it's possible for sure. Just clearly not as common as some of the other prize pools. :x

Fishing? I've tried every trick and don't think I've ever gotten a rare item. Well here's to trying harder I guess? XD
