Saturday is the favorite day of every fisherman. Why? Because it is time to compete in the famous Mirage Fishing Festival!
You can participate in this event on Mirage Isle every Saturday between 12 PM and 12 AM UTC (5 AM PDT – 4:59 PM PDT).
After entering the area, fly straight to bay in front of you. You will notice a circle made out of wooden stations.
How to start
If you come to this place during event, this lovely Daru NPC will greet you with his simple quest – talk with him to start and finish quest to receive a Lucid Mirage Fishing Rod.
And go fishing. Yes, that is it. For one hour after claiming your Rod you can freely fish in this area. No need for lure or any other thing.
If you are in group while fishing, don’t forget to set Loot Distribution on Free-for-All! Rotate Winner setting would result in random people in party obtaining your fish!
The only kind of fish you can catch during this event is Pink Marlin and they come in 4 different sizes – Fry Pink Marlin, Pink Marlin, Gargantuan Pink Marlin and Lucky Pink Marlin. The last mentioned is the one that should catch your interest because you probably need to catch one of these to get into rankings.
Once you catch and loot your fish, at Fish Stand you can either sell it or make it a Trophy (decoration item that can be placed on walls).
Ranking
Rankings is the reason why everyone is spending their Saturday fishing. Once you sell your Marlin on fish stand, you enter contest. Only your biggest fish from the day (your record fish) counts towards rankings. Depending on your position in latest rankings, you receive rewards.
Picking up fish that wasn’t “defeated” by you results in fish NOT counting towards ranking!
Rewards from contest are sent on next Monday and you receive two chests – one for size and one for weight of the fish. Chests contain Fisher King Coins, higher grade also give gold and trophies.

Treasure Mimic
But ranking reward is not the only way of obtaining Fisher King Coins. If you get lucky enough you can find Treasure Mimic instead of Pink Marlin. This rare encounter provides 1-3 Fisher King Coins upon defeating and also has smaller chance of dropping Sopere’s Frog – quest item used in Mermaid Double Bathtub questline (guide will be soon on this blog too!).
Fisher King Coin
Obtained Coins can be traded at NPC Sopere who is standing on Mirage under stairs.
