The Frost Daggerfish is a consumable ranged weapon. It can pierce up to 2 targets, hitting a total of 3 targets. Depending to player's final Fishing Power, from 7 to 137 Frost Daggerfish can be fished from lakes in Snow biomes at a time. When thrown, the Frost Daggerfish acts similarly to Shurikens or Throwing Knives, flying in an arc and then spinning to the ground, where they break upon impact and cannot be recovered.

Notes

  • The game uses the player's Fishing Power to determine the minimum and maximum amount of Frost Daggerfish fished in a single pull. Then, the maximum amount has four independent chances to be increased by 6, also based on Fishing Power.[1]
    • The minimum amount and maximum amount is determined by following formulas. Decimals are always rounded down after each division.
      • Minimum amount: Min = ( Fishing Power ÷ 4 + 15 ) ÷2
      • Maximum amount: Max = ( Fishing Power ÷ 2 + 40 ) ÷2
    • Then, roll four integers from these intervals: [0, 49], [0, 99], [0, 149], [0, 199]. The maximum amount is increased by 6 for each integer that is less than player's Fishing Power (e.g. if the four integers are 49, 56, 90, 36 while Fishing Power is 90, the maximum amount will be increased by 18).
    • Finally, roll a random integer from this interval: [Min, Max]. This integer would be the amount of Frost Daggerfish fished up.

Trivia

  • The Angler uses Frost Daggerfish to defend himself against nearby enemies.
  • The Frost Daggerfish is one of three fished consumables, the other two being the Honeyfin and the Bomb Fish.

History

  • Desktop 1.4.4: Increased the maximum amount of Frost Daggerfish given per pull. Previously, the maximum amount is calculated by ( Fishing Power ÷ 2 + 30 ) ÷2, and is increased by 4 for each integer less than Fishing Power.[2]
