Beginner Guide - Fish an Anime RNG Wiki
Everything a brand-new player needs for a strong first day: setting up your base, redeeming codes, and making smart early purchases.
Overview
Your first day in Fish an Anime RNG decides how fast the rest of your journey goes. The core idea is simple: fish for anime characters, place them in your base, and let them earn cash while you play or sleep. This guide walks you through the exact order to do things.

The Beginner Roadmap
Follow this order and you will skip the mistakes most new players make, like buying potions before upgrades or leaving base slots empty overnight.
Complete the tutorial
The tutorial teaches pond clicking and base placement in under a minute. Do not skip it; it unlocks the store.
Redeem starter codes
Codes like 1000MEMBERS and 2kCCU grant Cosmic Boxes with early items. Every free boost counts on day one.
Fill every base slot
Fish until your base is full. Duplicates are fine at first — a full base of common characters beats an empty one.
Buy rod upgrades first
Your first cash should always go to fishing rod upgrades. A better rod raises catch rarity and long-term income.
What to Buy (and What to Skip)
In the first few hours, upgrades beat potions. Potions last only minutes, while rod and pond upgrades pay off forever. Buy potions only right before a long fishing session.
Cosmic Boxes from codes can drop free items early, so check the codes page before every session. Selling weak duplicates funds bigger upgrades faster than hoarding them.
Early Priorities Cheat Sheet
A quick reference for where every early coin should go, ranked by long-term value.
| Priority | Purchase | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Fishing rod upgrades | Improves every future catch |
| 2 | Base capacity | More placed characters = more income |
| 3 | Better pond access | Unlocks rarer character pools |
| 4 | Potions | Only before long fishing sessions |
Five Beginner Mistakes to Avoid
These simple errors cost new players hours of progress. Avoid them and your first rebirth comes much sooner.
- Logging off with empty base slots
- Skipping daily code redemptions
- Buying potions before permanent upgrades
- Holding weak duplicates instead of selling them
- Ignoring the update log and missing free event rewards
Your Next Milestones
Once day one is done, aim for these three goals in order. Each one multiplies your income in a different way.
Steady Farming
A full base earning around the clock, reinvested into upgrades daily.
Rare Catches
Start replacing commons with the best fish from higher ponds.
First Rebirth
Reset for permanent multipliers and begin the mid game.
After Day One
From here your path splits: chase rare catches to improve your base, or push farming toward your first rebirth.
Both roads lead to the same destination, but farming with a plan is faster. Check the progression guide when upgrades start feeling slow — that is usually a sign you are ready to rebirth.
Frequently Asked Questions

Codes, the official Roblox group, and event milestones all give free boxes and items.
