Saury


The Naval District Saury Festival (鎮守府秋刀魚祭り) is an annually held mini-event occurring in early fall, where it is possible to drop "Pacific Saury fishes" on certain maps to then either exchange them in limited quests or consume them for some resources and consumables.

This event has happened every year since 2015 with slight variations each time:

The 7th Naval District Saury Festival is set to begin on the 9th of November 2022.

The 6th Annual Festival known as the Return of the Saury Festival (due to the last year's cancelation) has been launched on 29th October 2021. It ended on the 19th of November 2021. Unlike previous events, this festival will be held along with the Fall 2021 Event as part of the theme. The Main Operation Event maps in this festival will contain Saury to catch and will conclude before the extra operations are launched.

The 2020 Saury Festival has been canceled dues to various reasons such as poor fishing and the COVID-19 pandemic.

The 5th Annual Festival has been renamed to the Naval District Saury & Sardine Festival and has been launched on the 25th of October 2019. This event was renamed and changed due to current events taking place in Japan where Saury fishing has been poor this year but Sardine sails have been quite high. As such, the theme of this event will be to catch both Saury and Sardines.

The 4th Annual Naval District Saury Festival began on 10th of October 2018 and served as a tie-in Collaboration to the Second Naval District Saury Festival (Live Event) which was launched on the 5th October 2018 across Japan.

The 3rd Annual Naval District Saury Festival began on the 29th of September 2017 and ran for 2 weeks and ran in collaboration with the Naval District Saury Festival in Yokohama.

The mini event returned on the 21st of October 2016, with a whole new set of quests along with a brand new "Big Catch Flag" for the year, and lasted till the 4th of November 2016.

First occurrence of the Saury mini-event, that started back on the 9th of October 2015 and lasted till the 30th of October 2015. The main theme of the campaign centers around collecting Pacific Saury from various parts of the Ocean Waters which can be collected to then be exchanged for various resources and for completing quests that are tied to the annually held campaign which can reward various rewards and ultimately a "Big Catch Flag" which can be placed up as a decoration in the main base to show the completion of the quests of the season.

How to Obtain

 
Pacific Saury has been caught!

Pacific Saury (fish) can be obtained as drops from certain maps during the event.

 
Pacific Saury drop

To drop a Saury, the fleet must get an S rank (sometimes just an A rank) on relevant Nodes. After the battle, a notification might be displayed to indicate that some saury has been fished to then get it, prior to any ship drops.

A maximum of 99 raw fishes can be held at a time. Once at 99, no more fish can be obtained.

  • It is possible to obtain more than 99 fishes during the duration of the even, as long as they are consumed to keep the total below 99.
  • The Saury item can only be used for "#Cooking", rewarding resources or consumables.
  • #Saury Quests require to possess certain quantities of saury in order to be completed, but won't consume them.

Drop rate

The drop rate can be increased by using #Fishing Equipment or #Fishing Ships.

  • These pieces of equipment can be carried by multiple ships in a fleet, and different types of equipment will synergize[1].
  • Thus to maximize the bonus, it is recommended to carry a diverse set of fishing equipment on multiple ships.
  • All Coastal Defense Ships count here as "Fishing Ships", having an innate fishing bonus.

The drop rates will also depend on the current world's fish stocks.

  • Fishing on any map of a given world will decrease its overall fish stock.
  • "Overfishing" will happen if too many fishes are caught on a given world in a short amount of time.
  • Once overfished, the drop rates will decrease until fishing becomes impossible (due to extremely low rate).
  • Stocks will regenerate over time.
    • The exact amount of fish restocked and time needed is not known, but depends of the overfishing state, and will take about one or two days at worst.
  • It is recommended to cycle between world and event maps to maximize drop while avoiding overfishing.

Remember that once the event is over all saury will expire and will be destroyed upon maintenance. So before the event ends, be sure to use every saury for cooking or preserved as canned saury.

As of the 2019 Fishing event, Sardine is introduced as an alternative to Saury for fishing. Ties in the real-life event where Japan experienced less Saury being caught in the sea as a result of overfishing In the item menu section, it is possible to cook the Pacific Sardines with one of the following methods:

  • Sashimi, Tsumire (Fish Ball), or Sushi.
