Mini-Event contents

1. This saury/mackerel pike mini-event is NOT Fall 2015 Event.
2. Mackerel pikes WILL DISAPPEAR after the mini-event has been concluded. Unlike Hishimochi mini-event players can receive special item(s) together with kanmusu(s).
   • However, by applying the "Kabayaki" cooking method onto those Mackerel Pike, you can obtain Canned Mackerel which can be preserved for a long time. So please grab one or two of these Mamiya and Akashi made cans to commemorate the festival.
   • During the festival you can only have at most 99 of them at the same time.
3. Ensure safety of fisheries to support fishing for Mackerel Pike Festival. (Note: This is something like the past Hishimochi mini event. Simply speaking, some maps would drop these specific items beside ships during this period of time and you can collect them for something else.)
4. This festival will last for three (3) weeks
   • Fisheries
     • Obtainable from mainly world 3 as well as world 1 Extra Operations,
     • S rank is required for most nodes but A rank is also ok for World 3.
     • Drop rates would vary greatly from node to node and are not specific to just boss nodes.
     • Farmable fisheries (nodes) will have a special background music named as 鎮守府秋刀魚祭り.
     • For those who have access to world 3, please go world 3.
     • In world 1, you can support fishing Mackerel pike from 1-5 and thereafter.
     • See Mackerel page for a list of nodes that drop them.
   • Other Mackerel-pike-dropping nodes:
     • Certain point/nodes in 1-1 (1-1-B, the non-boss terminal node on the top) would drop Mackerel pike with a rare chance, however they are not considered as fisheries and thus no special background music will be played.
5. Other fishing notes as well as other mini-event related notes:
   • Kanmusu equipped with relevant equipments can produce a synergy effect on the whole fleet.
     • For example, those equipment they can detect them, collect them, and/or find them.
     • Using different equipment together would give multiple synergy effect.
   • Stacking lots of them into your fleet can drastically increase fishing output but putting too many of those equipments into your fleet would reduce your fleet's day battle "anti-surface" firepower. So it is important to find a good balance between your fleet so that it would be enough to eliminate threats and it is the key for a good catch.
   • Overfishing would reduce fish's obtain rate so please bear that in mind.
   • Cooking them would give like development material, improvement material, and so on. But it will require a specific amounts to exchange for them.
   • After successfully carried out support on Mackerel pike fishing and collected tons of Mackerel pike good catach, you can get a "Kantai wikipedia:Tairyō-bata" flag made by Ikazuchi. It would not have any special function.
   • Read Mackerel#Exchange for further detail about cooking these mackerel pikes.
6. Mackerel pike Festival seasonal graphic:
   • Isokaze (Base and Kai), Akebono, Murasame and Ushio (Base/Kai and Kai Ni)
   • Ooyodo as NPC
   • Northern Hime at World 3-5
7. Autumn Voice Lines for Ushio, Murasame and Isokaze
8. Isokaze droppable in World 2/5/6 during the festival and also 1-5 and 1-6 for those who doesn't have her yet.
9. Addition of function to prepare/cook Mackerel pike
10. Addition of Mackerel pike festival furniture
