A practical beginner route: survive first, improve efficiency second, and chase high-value fish last.

Core Goals for the First 60 Minutes
Set three goals from the start: first, complete consistent fish-selling runs without empty returns; second, raise oxygen and mobility to a comfortable level; third, chase rare targets only after the basics are stable. Most early failures come from diving too deep too soon or overspending, so keep your first loops focused on low-risk fish spots that reliably bring cash back.
Essential Controls to Master First
Enable Shift Lock early and drill the basic fishing rhythm: cast with left click, then reel at the correct timing window to maximize perfect timing rewards. Also learn to read distance indicators for chests and targets. Move with intention, and avoid waiting in no-signal zones where oxygen is wasted for no gain.
Recommended Beginner Loop (Low-Risk Cashflow)
Use a short-loop, high-turnover approach: farm stable, low-threat fish and sell often. Return immediately when your bag is nearly full or oxygen reaches your danger threshold. In Ancient Sands, Pompano and Blackfin Tuna are strong early anchors for consistent money. If your current gear feels strained, drop back to shallower zones and keep compounding instead of forcing deep-area penalties.
First Upgrade Priorities (Safety Before Speed)
For early to mid progression, prioritize Tube upgrades in this order: oxygen capacity, scan information, then movement speed. Start with Bigger Tank (150k), add Deepslate Scanner (500k) for resource discovery, then High Speed Fins (850k) to improve travel efficiency. Only move to expensive options like Chest Scanner (2m) and Speed Tube (5m) after your runs consistently pay for themselves.
Four Common Beginner Mistakes
The first is gambling your early money on rare fish and getting repeated empty runs. The second is lingering in deep zones with low oxygen. The third is ignoring distance prompts and wasting time on blind movement. The fourth is overinvesting in weapon rankings too early. Before midgame, consistency matters more than a single jackpot run.
