Merge Planning

PC FISH Synthesis Guide

Use the Quick Merge Guide to separate Normal Merge from Season Merge before spending fish on PC FISH synthesis.

Regular vs season-specific

Quick Merge Guide

Normal Merge is for non-season merge attempts with unpublished current odds. Season Merge is the separate Season 1 recipe route for Seasonal Fish. Check the route first so unknown regular rates do not make confirmed Season 1 recipes look unknown.

Confirmed action; exact rates unknown

Normal Merge

Use this for non-season merge attempts only after checking rarity, current market value, and patch status. The August 18 server update fixed a merge-success-rate issue, but no public table gives current regular merge probabilities.

Confirmed Season 1 route

Season Merge

Use this for Season 1 Seasonal Fish. Frostblue Sunfish, Limeback Sea Turtle, and Matsuri Octopus use named Season 1 ingredient recipes and star requirements, not Normal Merge or breeding.

Evidence labels required

Confirmed vs unconfirmed

Use official notes for confirmed rules, community-tested logs for reproducible samples, and unknown labels where rates or market behavior are not proven.

Before You Merge Seasonal Fish

  1. 01Check whether the target is a seasonal fish. Seasonal fish use the season route, not regular synthesis.
  2. 02For Frostblue Sunfish, Limeback Sea Turtle, or Matsuri Octopus, use the Season 1 recipe page and verify the required star levels before consuming ingredients.
  3. 03Record the exact inputs and visible star ranks before confirming. This preserves evidence even if the merge fails.
  4. 04Do not convert an isolated result into a percentage. A useful rate needs a reproducible log with successes, failures, game version, and total attempts.
