Fishing

Fishing Zones at the Desert Pond.

The primary location for fishing in the Desert is the pond in the northwest section. The player can catch two unique fish here, namely the Sandfish and Scorpion Carp. The Sandfish is needed for the Bundle Red.png Specialty Fish Bundle in the Fish Tank.

It's also possible to fish in the pool of water on the southern edge of the map, if the player's Fishing skill is high enough for the bobber to reach the water. However, the fishing quality will always be minimal in the southern pond (Fishing Zone is 0 for the entire pond.)[1] Pyramid Decal can be fished here.

Villager Paths

Emily visits Sandy on her birthday on Fall 15. They create pathing through the Desert, as seen below.

Rotten Plants indicate where objects are safe to place.

Trivia

  • The bus travelling through a tunnel to get to a desert may be a reference to the Nintendo game "Mother 2 (Earthbound)".

References

  1. The water tiles in the south pond are handled more like a fountain: the information is stored in the map's Building layer instead of the Back layer. Fishing is allowed, based on the Building data, but all Fishing Zone calculations consider the tile to be a land tile, therefore the Fishing Zone is set to zero.
