Check your two counters
| Target rank | All-time fish | Cash on hand | Income × |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 · Angler | 48 | $30,000 | ×1.50 |
| 3 · Netcaster | 240 | $225,000 | ×1.75 |
| 5 · Tidecaller | 1,400 | $40,000,000 | ×2.25 |
Compare against the milestone shown on your current Rebirth screen. These are selected milestones, and you still have to advance through the ranks in order.
Example. With 46 fish and $50,000 at Deckhand, you still need two fish for Angler. Once you have 48, you can spend up to $20,000 before the reset and still hold the required $30,000.
Spend first, then confirm
- Open Rebirth. Read your current and next titles, then check Fish Caught (All Time) and Money.
- Read the tip for the recommended net. For example, an early prompt can suggest the $400 Cotton Net if you still need it. Buy useful gear while your wallet can cover the purchase and leave the cash requirement intact.
- Return to Rebirth and recheck both counters after spending. If the button is unavailable, fish for the missing catches or collect more pedestal cash.
- Press Rebirth and confirm when prompted. Look for the new title or base, the higher showcase multiplier, and a wallet at $0.
Afterward, open the Fish Cooler and use Equip Best to fill any new slot. Check the Skill Tree for points and pick a boost that addresses your current bottleneck.
