The latest Abyss update introduces a brand-new Fishing Pond system, giving players another way to earn money while they continue progressing through the game. Instead of constantly grinding enemies or quests, this feature allows you to generate resources passively by placing fish into a pond and collecting the roe they produce over time.
At first glance it may look simple, but once you understand how the unlocking process, fish types, and feed boosts work, the pond becomes a surprisingly useful money source.
Abyss Fish Pond Update Guide – How New Fishing System
The fishing pond isn’t available immediately when you start the game. When you open the map at Forgotten Deep, you’ll notice a new location icon that initially appears locked.
Near that area you’ll find a new NPC who controls access to the fishing pond.
When you talk to him, he explains that not everyone can enter the pond because it would become chaotic if all players had access immediately. The requirement is straightforward:
You must reach Level 15.
Once you reach the required level, simply accept the quest from the NPC and confirm that you’ve completed it. After that, the locked pond location becomes available on your map.
Teleporting to the Pond Area
After unlocking it, open your map again and you’ll see the Fishing Pond icon available for teleportation.
To access it:
- Walk to a teleporter
- Select the Fishing Pond location
- Teleport instantly
One nice detail about this update is that teleporting to the pond costs nothing, so you can travel back and forth freely.
Once you arrive, you’ll see an entirely new area built around the pond system.
Exploring the Fish Pond Area
The fishing pond location is designed as a dedicated area where players manage their fish production. Around the pond you’ll find several interactive systems including:
- Fish placement slots
- Feed vendor
- Upgrade menu
- Roe selling NPC
You can walk along the narrow paths between sections of the pond and interact with your own fishing slot.
When you approach your pond, an interaction prompt appears that allows you to manage the fish inside it.
Adding Fish to Your Pond
Your pond has a fish capacity limit, meaning only a certain number of fish can be placed at once.
Initially, you can place six fish into the pond. Each fish you add will start producing roe over time.
Different fish types behave differently:
- Common fish produce small amounts quickly
- Rare fish produce larger amounts but take longer
For example:
- Basic fish may produce around 0.2 kg of roe in about 2 minutes
- Stronger fish like Eye Fish can produce around 31 kg
- Higher tier fish such as Sharks may produce roughly 83 kg
This system encourages players to place stronger fish in the pond if they want larger rewards, though the waiting time will also increase.
Understanding the Roe Production Timer
Once fish are placed, a timer begins for each slot. Hovering over the fish shows how long it will take before the roe is ready.
When the timer finishes, roe becomes available and can be collected.
The amount of roe depends on:
- Fish rarity
- Fish type
- Production time
After collecting the roe, you can sell it directly to the vendor in the pond area to earn money.
This creates a passive income system where you can collect rewards periodically while doing other activities in the game.
Fish Capacity Upgrade
The pond also has an upgrade system that allows you to increase how many fish you can place inside.
The first upgrade increases capacity from:
6 fish → 8 fish
The upgrade costs $25,000, which might seem expensive early on but becomes very worthwhile once you start producing higher-tier roe.
More fish means more production running at the same time, which directly increases your total income.
Feed System and Production Boosts
Another key mechanic introduced in this update is fish feed.
Feed temporarily boosts the speed at which fish produce roe.
You can purchase feed from the vendor near the pond, and different feeds provide different bonuses.
Two examples from the update include:
Basic Feed – $100
- 5% production speed boost
- Lasts 15 minutes
Premium Feed – $2,500
- 30% production speed boost
- Lasts 1 hour
Activating feed through the Active Feed button immediately applies the boost to all fish in your pond.
This is especially useful if you have rare fish producing large amounts of roe and want to speed up the waiting time.
Selling Roe for Profit
Once your fish finish producing roe, you can collect it and sell it to the seller in the pond area.
The amount of money you earn depends on:
- Roe quantity (kg)
- Fish rarity
- Production cycles
Common fish produce small amounts, while rare fish generate significantly more valuable roe.
Because production happens automatically, you can simply return to the pond after some time, collect everything, sell it, and restart the cycle.
Final Thoughts on the Fish Pond Update
The new Fishing Pond system in Abyss adds a relaxing but effective way to earn money. Instead of relying entirely on combat or quests, players can now generate resources over time using fish they already own.
The combination of:
- fish rarity
- production timers
- capacity upgrades
- feed boosts
creates a small management system that rewards players who invest in stronger fish and efficient setups.
While it might not replace traditional grinding, it works perfectly as a passive income feature that keeps generating profit while you explore the rest of the game.
