Hey dear anglers, if you’re keeping track of the posts in our Dev Diaries, you might already know that aside from introducing bottom fishing and new European waterways, our team is working hard on adding Missions to your Fishing Planet experience! In this release we are happy to present you the 1st iteration of the Missions update - Tutorial Missions.
These missions are available to all players, and while they were specifically created to enrich and make the learning process more efficient for the less experienced folks, many of them will be quite useful even for the more proficient anglers. After all, Tutorial Missions are based on tasks that help you get a deeper understanding of the game as well as apply logic to choosing the best and most appropriate tackle and baits. This means, no matter how good you think you are, there still might be some cool features you overlooked!
Tutorial Mission are comprised of a number of tasks accompanied by hints and will be available as you progress all throughout the game. There is a special Missions tab, where you can see the list of completed missions as well as the description and progress status of the current one. If you choose to track your current mission, all related hints and tasks will be showing up as you play the game. Or you can simply untrack your Mission to turn off the hints and mission widget.
Missions are a new addition to your overall gaming experience that can be both fun and useful, but they are optional, and whether to complete them or not is entirely up to you! However, we do hope that you’ll use this opportunity to sharpen your perspective, learn cool new things and get a better understanding of the game as you explore the Fishing Planet world with Missions and, of course, get rewards for completing them!
Like we already said, this is only the 1st iteration of Missions update. The next iteration will include more complex missions for more experienced players of average or high proficiency levels and will be aimed at exploring the waterways and mastering your fishing skills. These tasks will require a lot of effort and skill on your part, but with greater rewards to match the sweat and tears you put in! Also, the next iteration of mission will allow you to catch a new special fish that is not available in ordinary gameplay!

• new challenge: the Barbless Master
