The New Level Cap: Journey to 1500

The level cap increase from 1,000 to 1,500 represents the most significant progression expansion in Fisch's history. However, there are crucial details every player must understand before beginning their grind.

Important Progression Notes

Fresh Start System: While your previous progress remains safe, XP earned past level 1,000 from the old system was NOT carried over. Every player starts this new grind from level 1,000, creating a level playing field for the end-game race.

XP Aquarium Strategy: You can instantly claim any XP stored in your aquarium to jumpstart your progression through the new levels. This is highly recommended as it provides an immediate boost toward your first milestone reward.

Meet Ashclaw: The Volcanic Boss

How to Find and Spawn Ashclaw?

Location: Ashclaw is exclusively found inside the Roslit Volcano on Roslit Island. To reach it, travel to Roslit Island and enter the main cave entrance to find the volcanic area with a lava pool inside.

Spawn Mechanics:

• Ashclaw appears naturally during volcanic eruption events
• Does not require a specific item to summon
• Spawn chance increases significantly when more players are fishing together in the volcano area
• Fisch totems do not speed up the eruption process

Event Notification: When Ashclaw is about to appear, a server-wide notification will announce: "The Roslit Volcano has erupted!" Head inside immediately to find it crawling around the lava pool.

How to Catch Ashclaw: Complete Strategy?

Catching Ashclaw requires preparation, patience, and the right equipment. Here's the comprehensive strategy:

Required Equipment

Volcano Fishing Requirements: To fish in the Roslit Volcano, you must have one of the following:

• Magma Rod
• Reinforced Rod
• Onirifalx
• Volcanic Rod
• Any Fishing Rod with the Invincible enchantment

Recommended Rods (for best catch chances):

• Ruinous Oath Rod (highest recommended)
• Luminescent Oath Rod
• Seraphic Rod
• Cerulean Fang Rod
• Wicked Fang Rod
• Evil Pitchfork
• Polaris Serenade
• Wind Elemental
• No-Life Rod
• Sanguine Spire
• Ethereal Prism Rod
• Challenger's Rod
• Rod Of The Forgotten Fang
• Steady Rod

Optimal Setup: According to calculations, Ruinous Oath with Beached Pearl provides the highest chance of catching Ashclaw.

Bait and Conditions

Required Bait: You MUST use Coal as bait. Ashclaw will not bite on any other type of bait.

Conditions: Ashclaw has no weather, time, or season preferences, making it available at any time during eruption events.

Catch Rate and Difficulty

Catch Rate: An extreme -95%, making it one of the hardest catches in the game.

Progress Speed Challenge: The -95% progress speed debuff cannot be reduced with:

• Steady Enchantment
• Tempest Rod passive ability

Potential Solution: The Blessed Song enchant may help improve progress speed, though effectiveness is limited.

Special Mechanics and Exceptions

• Rod of the Forgotten Fang: When catching Ashclaw on the Megalodon Passive reel of this rod, the Megalodon will instead dupe the Ashclaw, giving you two catches instead of one.
• Rod of the Depths: This rod's passive effect does not work on any Cataclysmic rarity fish, including Ashclaw.
• Passive Effects: Ashclaw usually cannot be caught with passive effects from rods like the Rod Of The Depths and Rod Of The Forgotten Fang (except for the Megalodon Passive dupe mentioned above).

Community Strategy

• Group Fishing: The most effective strategy is to fish with a large group of players inside the volcano. More players fishing increases the spawn chance of eruptions and Ashclaw appearances.
• Server Coordination: Consider joining the official Discord community to coordinate with other players for organized Ashclaw hunting events.

Reward and Recognition

Server-Wide Announcement: Successfully catching Ashclaw will broadcast your achievement to the entire server, making you instantly famous among the player base.

Catch Quips: When you catch Ashclaw, you may exclaim one of the following:

• "I SAVED US FROM THE ERUPTION!!!"
• "VOLCANIC CRAB!!!"
• "HOT HOT HOT!"
• "MR. CR-... GIANT CRAB!"

New Cataclysmic Fish System

The Ashclaw Update introduces more than just the volcanic boss. It implements a complete Cataclysmic Fish Hunt system, adding multiple new ultra-rare fish to the game.

Cataclysmic Fish Characteristics

Rarity Tier: Cataclysmic represents the highest rarity tier in Fisch, above Mythical and Legendary.

Luck-Favoring: These fish have extremely low base catch rates but are heavily influenced by luck stats on equipment.

Extreme Difficulty: All Cataclysmic fish feature:

• Very high resilience (negative values)
• Extremely slow progress speed
• Specific bait requirements
• Limited spawn conditions

Bestiary Integration: Added in Version 1.53.1, all Cataclysmic fish now appear in the game's Bestiary for tracking purposes.

Pro Tips and Advanced Strategies

Leveling Efficiency

• Aquarium Management: Save XP in your aquarium before reaching level 1000, then claim it all at once for an instant boost toward level 1100.
• Rod Selection: Use high-luck rods like the Ruinous Oath or Seraphic Rod for faster XP gain during the leveling process.
• Location Optimization: Fish in high-XP areas like Ancient Isle or Atlantis for faster progression.
• Enchantment Strategy: Focus on XP-boosting enchantments during the leveling grind.

Ashclaw Hunting Optimization

• Server Hopping: If no eruptions are occurring, consider switching to different servers to find active eruption events.
• Time Management: Ashclaw catches take a very long time due to the -95% progress speed. Be prepared for extended fishing sessions.
• Group Coordination: Use Discord or other communication tools to organize large groups for increased spawn rates.
• Backup Equipment: Bring multiple high-tier rods in case of breakage or durability loss.

Cinder Block Rod Usage Tips

• Specialized Use: Despite its high luck and resilience, the Cinder Block Rod's extremely slow lure speed makes it specialized rather than universally useful.
• Control Advantage: The 0.7 control stat (100% bar coverage) makes it excellent for difficult catches where precision matters.
• Cement Mutation: The 70% chance for Cement mutation provides consistent value boosts to catches.
• Time Consideration: Remember that every catch takes exactly 2:51, so plan your fishing sessions accordingly.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Level Cap Progression

• Wasting Stored XP: Don't claim aquarium XP before reaching level 1000, as it won't count toward the new progression system.
• Ignoring Milestone Rewards: Each level reward serves a specific purpose - don't overlook the utility of items like the Chromatic Lantern or Elite Glider.
• Poor Rod Selection: Using low-tier rods for the 1000-1500 grind will significantly slow your progress.

Ashclaw Hunting

• Wrong Bait: Never attempt to catch Ashclaw without Coal bait - it simply won't bite.
• Insufficient Preparation: Entering the Roslit Volcano without proper heat-resistant rods will result in failed attempts.
• Solo Attempts: Trying to spawn Ashclaw alone is extremely inefficient due to the low spawn rate.
• Impatience: The -95% progress speed means catches take a very long time - don't give up too quickly.

FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the Stone Hammer Rod coming back?

A: Currently, the Stone Hammer Rod is a limited-time item from an "Admin Abuse" event and is no longer available. There is no official information on if it will return in the future.

Q: How do I get to the Roslit Volcano?

A: Travel to Roslit Island and enter the main cave entrance to find the volcanic area with a lava pool inside. The exact coordinates for Ashclaw spawning are -1945, 275, 230.

Q: What is the best strategy for catching Ashclaw?

A: Use a high-luck rod like the Ruinous Oath with Coal bait and fish with a large group of players inside the volcano to increase its spawn chance. The optimal setup is Ruinous Oath with Beached Pearl enchantment.

Q: What comes after this update?

A: This update is designed to prepare players for the major Fish Fright 2025 event coming soon. Players who reach level 1500 and master the Ashclaw content will be well-positioned for the Halloween-themed event.

Q: Why is the Cinder Block Rod considered "mid" by some players?

A: While the Cinder Block Rod has maximum luck and resilience, its -50% lure speed and fixed 2:51 catch time make it specialized rather than universally superior. It excels at specific high-difficulty catches but isn't optimal for general fishing.

Q: Can I reduce Ashclaw's -95% progress speed penalty?

A: No, the Ashclaw Progress Speed penalty cannot be reduced with the Steady Enchantment or the Tempest Rod passive ability. However, the Blessed Song enchant may provide some improvement.

Q: Do Fisch totems help spawn Ashclaw faster?

A: No, Fisch totems do not speed up the volcanic eruption process. The spawn chance increases naturally when more players are fishing together in the volcano area.

Q: What's the difference between the base and true max weight for Ashclaw?

A: The base weight range is 200,000kg - 1,050,000kg, but with mutations and other modifiers, Ashclaw can reach a true maximum weight of 3,727,500kg.

Q: Will my progress from level 1000+ carry over to the new system?

A: No, XP earned past level 1,000 from the old system was not carried over. Every player starts the new grind from level 1,000, though stored aquarium XP can be claimed for an instant boost.
