Time remaining until the Naval District Saury Festival 2023 Mini-Event is over:

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, consumables, or equipment. The ultimate reward is the "Big Catch Flag" of the year furniture.

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

The 8th Naval District Saury Festival will begin on the 2nd of November 2023 and will end on the 28th of November 2022 (26 days).

  • Great LBAS planes where rewarded.

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 will appear if any saury was obtained, prior to any ship drops.

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

  • It is possible to obtain more than 99 total fish during the duration of the event, as long as they are consumed to keep the total below 99.
  • The Saury item can only be used for "#Cooking", which rewards resources or consumables.
  • While #Saury Quests require possession of certain quantities of saury in order to be completed, they don'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 as well as some auxiliaries count here as "Fishing Ships", having an innate fishing bonus staking with each others.

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

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

Cooking

When enough Pacific Saurys are obtained, a specific amount can be used to cook up a saury-based meal and then trade it in for resources. In the item menu section, it is possible to cook the Pacific Saurys with one of the following methods:

  • Sashimi, Grilled and Salted, Kabayaki, or Saury Curry Kai Ni.
