Naval District Saury Festival

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 ended on the 28th of November 2022 (26 days).

  • Great LBAS planes where rewarded.

The 7th Naval District Saury Festival began on the 9th of November 2022, and ended on the 6th of December 2022 (28 days).

  • A special Zuiun was available as a Saury exchange.

The 6th Naval District Saury Festival began on the 29th of October 2021, and ended on the 19th of November 2021 (22 days).

  • It was known as the Return Of The Saury Festival due to the last year's cancelation.
  • Unlike previous events, this festival will be held along with the Fall 2021 Event as part of the theme, with the possibility to catch Saury on the 1st map, until the extra operations are launched.

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

The 5th Naval District Saury Festival began on the 25th of October 2019, and ended on the 20th of November 2019 (27 days).

  • It was known as the Naval District Saury & Sardine Festival due to events that took 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 was to catch both Saury and Sardines.

The 4th Naval District Saury Festival began on the 10th of October 2018, and ended on the 26th of October 2018 (17 days).

The 3rd Naval District Saury Festival began on the 29th of September 2017, and ended on the 18th of October 2017 (20 days).

The 2nd Naval District Saury Festival began on the 21st of October 2016, and ended on the 4th of November 2016 (15 days).

The 1st Naval District Saury Festival began on the 9th of October 2015, and ended on the 30th of October 2015 (22 days).

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.
