Saury (Mackerel, 秋刀魚, さんま, Sanma) is an item that can be obtained during Saury seasonal mini-events (based on Pacific saury festival). It is obtainable as a map drop, can be exchanged for various items, and is required for completing the events' limited quests. The events usually happen in October - November:
- 2015 Saury Event: October 9th - October 30th (duration: 3 weeks)
- 2016 Saury Event: October 21st - November 4th (duration: 2 weeks)
- 2017 Saury Event: September 29th - October 18th (duration: around 3 weeks)
- 2018 Saury Event: October 10th - October 26th (duration: around 2 weeks)
- 2019 Saury and Sardine Event: October 25th - November 13th (duration: around 3 weeks)
How to Obtain[]
Known drop conditions:
- Can be obtained only from specific map nodes. A notification will appear on a drop (see the gallery above).
- Can drop only on A and S ranks, with a higher drop rate for S ranks.
- Can drop even when you have no ship slots left.
- Doesn't prevent normal ship drops. Also can drop without a ship drop.
- You can't have more than 99 fishes at the same time during the event.
The following mechanics are likely to affect Saury drop rates.[1]
- Overfishing there is a limited number of fish per map node per specific time frame, if fishes stops dropping, you are encouraged to switch to a different node [2]
- Coastal Defense Ships can be used to increase the drop rates.[citation needed]
- Special equipment can be used to increase the drops rates.
- Combo effects from equipping different pieces of special equipment on one ship may exist, e.g., Searchlight + Sonar + Skilled Lookouts + Type 0 Recon Seaplane on one ship.
- An official tweet hinted that using Depth Charges will cause overfishing more quickly.
Drops[]
All listed nodes drop on S ranks, red nodes are known to drop on A ranks (usually at a lower rate).

- ↑ The existence of overfishing and special equipment mechanics was confirmed in official tweets (TIPS-3, TIPS-4, and TIPS-5). The existence of the overfishing mechanic is easily noticeable (however, it's not so clear if there are separate limits for nodes, maps, worlds and how they interact). There is less certainty about special equipment and their effects, including combos, mostly it's based on tweet interpretations:
- 海を照らす光源 - Searchlights
- 魚群探知を支援できる装備 - Sonars
- 少し乱暴な手法で海の中にどかーん! - Depth Charges
- もっとスマートに暗闇でも魚群を捉える熟練のあの方々の活用 - Skilled Lookouts
