■ Event Details

Penguins and the Sea is a cooperative mini-game where 1~4 Maplers work together to catch various fish.
When you find a fish, press the Spacebar to catch it. Return to the harbor to automatically sell your catch, earning Fishing Points based on its type and size. At the end of each round, these points will be converted into Pudgy Jellies and EXP.
Fishing Points are tracked in increments of 20,000.
Party play grants each member a 15% bonus to their earned Fishing Points.
Accumulating Fishing Points will increase your Fishing Level, which unlocks better ships and gives you access to higher-tier fishin' holes.
