Me and some guys started playing this game some time ago. And this video explains it all. We started around 5-6 guys. A couple of them got impatient and bought the Congo DLC and another one bought the Gold Pack. The one who bought the Congo pack, travelled there instantly, and could not shut up about that level and what was good and bad (almost like revealing the ending of a movie noone else has seen yet), while the rest of us did not buy anything and was only on Emerald Lake. 3 weeks later, all the guys who bought DLCs and abandoned the game because they said it is boring, and the rest of us, are still playing and fighting our way though the levels and missions. :) TL;DR If you like this game. Dont buy any DLCs. But if you do, then avoid any DLCs that give you access to levels that are above your current level. Its totally archieveable to reach max level without any DLC or Premium. Its all about playing the game! :D
Patriot DLC Pack lures are absolutely broken. I deleted all my regular money lures and kept only Baitcoin and DLC lures. Also Club Enthusiast pack gives you ability to buy lures that compare with X-series stuff, and that actually does make a difference you feel instantly.
The first lure I totally recommend buying for club credits is the black 15cm shad. Put it on a 8/0 barbless hook and make sure nothing in your setup is below 20kg, because Unique muskies will brake it!
I personally just bought the congo pack at lvl 42 i knew stuff about the game and now i know even more about it in 20 days i became lvl72 (with grinding) and now i am on vacation i just like getting online and being able to fish on any fish i wanna fish for. (My opinion)
Does Congo DLC go on sale often or ever? I have a hard time justifying 40 bucks but I'd probably jump on it if it was 20 or less. I'm already lvl 45 and don't own any DLCs.
Here is another pro-DLC argument: let's say I want a full blown boat. And I WANT IT IN THE GAME NOW, not 150h of grind later, which makes me hate the game and myself too. I'm an adult. I just left few hundred moneys at the fishing store for impulse purchase of bigbait pike lures. My time is worth more than those 30-something moneys for a DLC.
I've been playing off and on for 5 years and have around 1500 hours played between Steam & PS4. I feel the same way about DLCs, I got the Sports Bundle on PS4 because it was deeply discounted (something like 90% for the entire bundle, it was the holidays 2017), I outgrew all the gear except the hat (4 tackle slots). PS4 version was my first but Steam became my main account and has 1000 hours on it, no DLCs but I currently have Premium and usually do when I dip back into the game. I'm only level 51 on Steam (38 on PS4), I spend a lot of time just playing around the lower level lakes and grinding for cash with OP rods instead of following an efficient path of gaining Experience. I've got most of the missions and achievements done except tournament related ones. I really enjoy the game and don't feel the need to race to the end or waste money on DLCs that I'll outgrow in short order.
I chose to buy the Golden Pack. Mainly for the Kajak, the FishFort XL Plus, the rod stand and especially the increased storage capacities (at the river and +200 at home). Your videos are great. Please keep them coming. Greetings from Germany.
I am enjoying my rebirth in the game very much. I am at level 22 and have a sense of accomplishment. I know there are people that like the end game in games but I like the journey and it makes the destination so much tastier!!
I think the Starter Pack is a good dlc. 10 bucks and you get some nice quality of life improvements, such as the 3 rod case, tackle box, and the 7 days of premium and advanced licenses. It really helped me out in the beginning, but I also don’t feel like I was given some crazy good gear and it ruined it for me. I enjoy catching all types of fish, so its awesome being able to bring 3 different rods with me. I just reached the point where I can buy all of the stuff that I got from it, and I gotta say it was money well spent. Plus I’m still using the prem/licenses.
As a relatively new player, I have actually bought the Deluxe Pack to have some more variety of rods and items, a 5 rod foudraal, a rod stand, a huge keepnet, etc. I do agree that I did not NEED to buy it, but I do feel it was worth it. It was either the Deluxe Pack or the Advanced Pack for me. I don't see the benefit of buying more though, because you would get more of the same. And I like to support the game developers for what is otherwise a free game.
Got the congo when i was level 19, and was the best thing ever, have 1000 plus hours on this game, just got the Japan DLC and it so good!!!! Got a lot of money i can buy anything and i cant fish a any place i want use diferent rods try diferent baits, find new spots!!
Good points. It's why I have a hard time getting into Fishing Sim World Tour, which I bought with a bundle of location DLCs that included an obscene amount of gear. The progression to earn gear and levels is one of the most rewarding things about Fisher Online and Fishing Planet; so short cutting just ruins the fun for me.
I bought the blue crab island dlc around level 15 and I got so addicted to catching tarpon in that month that I had it. Now I'm level 30 and grinding to level 54 just so I can experience it again. I don't think I would grind as much as I do if I wouldn't have experienced that. That being said I won't buy any other dlc just so I don't get to that goal to fast and never play again
Ok, here is a different point of view. As na angler, you try to maximize your satisfaction when fishing. Some anglers fish with expensive equipment, buy top class licenses, go on a premium spots to catch the most and the biggest fish. Some fish with lures, some prefer live bait. If you try to make them fish differently they won't enjoy fishing that much. So the truth is somewhere in the middle. Buy smart to enhance your satisfaction, just enough. I bought huge 70kg keepnet and a kayak and the rest will earn. Currently level 35.
I bought the Congo and the Amazon dlcs a while back. I did it because I wanted to experience the big fish and have fun. I didn't really do it to level up quickly, but I ended up doing that to lol. Now I'm stuck at level 59 in between the Maku Maku and Marron River stage of the game, which sucks. I'm considering getting the wild africa dlc just to get to Marron River to make Fishing Planet fun again.
I've got 2 kids and not as much time to grind bought deluxe helped me clean up Everglades and st croix ..but I do recommend actually doing the challenges and monster fish really boosted me
I got the Congo at lvl 18 and now 80 after grinding Congo. I’m still playing and loving the fact that I can buy everything I want and fish every fish in the game. I hate the grind , started a new no money spent account. I’m lvl 8 and hating it already.. Congo pack is worth it for those that want everything at once and can have fun like me with everything you want to fish. For those that like to grind then it’s not worth it
Patriot DLC Pack lures are absolutely broken. I deleted all my regular money lures and kept only Baitcoin and DLC lures. Also Club Enthusiast pack gives you ability to buy lures that compare with X-series stuff, and that actually does make a difference you feel instantly.
thank you for this info i was going to buy the japan dlc but now im just going to get the club enthusiast pack for a small boost to make the game slightly more fun for the time being. thanks bo
Back in 2015 or 2016 when I first started It was like 7am IRL I hadn't gone to bed and I was trying to catch fish in emerald lake but really didn't have a good setup. I was in there alone with some guy and we spoke for an hour about nothing. He eventually gave me a cheap predator pack as a gift and it changed the game so much. It was a blessing and helped me out for quite a while, but I never purchased any other DLC after this because it really does make the game too easy.
I bought the congo dlc after like 1 day of playing the game, went from like lvl 5 to 50 in a week. It completely ruined the grind from me, now it just feels so boring to fish in the locations that I can since I was able to fish in Congo for the time I had the license from the dlc. I honestly just bought the dlc because I really liked the boat and I wanted it so badly. The rods and everything was just extra for me and I didn’t even realise how long it would’ve actually taken me to get the gear I got from the dlc if I wouldn’t have bought it. And I also had no idea that I would level up SO fast in Congo.
That realisation comes to every player after they buy something. For me, best money spent are on quality of life items where you can stack up on everything you dobt need and carry with you, stands, keepnets and ofc premium...but even premium some times get you there faster than you wanted and you realise that when you on top....except you dont enjoy engame but getting there.
Lures have in-game parameters: out of which 2 are most important: 1 - Visibility range and 2 - Fish size compatibility. You can really see that #3/0 Patriot DLC walker gets hit by everything, even small perch and chub, which have low hookup ratio, but they go for it.
My cousin got me the deluxe pack when he seen I was playing this game all day, got to 46 in about a week. Pretty much not using any of the pack equipment anymore but the vest and hat. Still grinding hard on this game. Soo fun
Ya totally agree. One thing I think is pretty stupid also is how much the game shoves the dlcs in ur face. Almost everyone I joins room 2 or 3 packs show up in my face.
Bought a gold pack for my sister, she had just started the game so i bought her that pack for 3 reasons. 1: Keepnet - Without a decent sized keepnet you dont get enough money at the start and your stuck fishing small bass and panfish too long. 2. Rod stand - So she can put in bottom rods and still use a spinner. 3. So she can experience a couple of other fishing zones at the start and show her some good spots and fishing methods. I remember starting off and being stuck in lone start/mudwater for much more then I honestly found fun. Granted I spend unwisely at the start and she would not have that problem but still. As far as the higher level rods/gear. A 20 or so kilogram rod is perfectly serviceable for a low level area. Just put on a smaller leader to fish for the smaller fish. Casting rods are an exception as you wont be able to cast a light lure far enough but lucky that the pack contains featherlight as well as heavy rods. It does not ruin the game. A congo pack ofc is overkill.. Even the gold is overkill , if the cheapest pack had a 50 kg net and a 2 rod stand in it that would have been the pick. But i Do agree that it is more satisfying to have played from lvl 1 and leveled up and ground up yourself. My sister however will probably stop playing the game (entirely) in a few weeks and and want her to have fun while she does play it :D (she is not a gamer at all)
PRO ANGLER SPORT BUNDLE is the only dlc i suggest if you are a lower level player it's a nice saving on buying some loadouts and gear without really cutting a large part of exp gain
I bought the sports pack when I originally started fishing planet. My brother got me into it (he's the real fisher, not me^^). Since I had NO IDEA WHATSOEVER about fishing I thought Okay, let's get some starting stuff because it will fit together I don't have to worry about bying part x that doesn't work with part y and what not. I guess that goal was achieved. I was able to fish with my brother and not being left behind thaaat far. Not it's later, I know the basics and can actually kinda sorta adjust to a new situation I reeeeaaaally regret the purchase. First the practical part, I am massively behind in experience. Since I'm only playing with my brother we're going to the same locations of course. So there I am in the beginner lakes with my sports pack stuff and barely getting any xp while he just crushes it with his starter gear and leaving me in the dust in regards to xp. The second, and more important reason (for me) is simply the progression as mentioned by Bo. I'm lvl 25 (remember, still kinda slowmode due to xp reduce) now technically I still don't have to worry about anything. I would guess the sports gear would get me to 30 bevor needing to think about new stuff. But here is the thing. I was kind of fed up about the xp reduce and startet ditching my sports gear and setting up some lower stuff and since then it's just so much more fun. Not due to the increased difficulty per catch but due to the whole "hm what kind of rod could I build with that or that and for what". Finally got exited about everything I unlock each level and the options that come along with it. Completly ditched the sports stuff in the storage by now. To conclude this awfully long rant (sorry about that): Regretting the purchase after the fact BUT I don't think I would have gotten to the point where I can regret it without having it since I probably wouldn't have had the patience to get into all the mechanics. So if you can, go without any dlc but IF you buy any do yourself a favor and pick a low one that will reach it's limits sooner.
The only things that can be good for dlcs is buying them for either the boats and the fishforts. You can buy them for the rods and stuff but most of the rods in the pcaks you can get in the game free. I'm not totally against dlcs its just for whenever you're like AT the end. Like on the amazonian maze or AT the congo.
I've started over in this game at level 30 like 3 times so I have more experience in the game than someone whos level 80 cause ive pit so Mich time in I know what to look for and how to trouble shoot lakes in order to make the most money I can in a day but I dont get mad at people who do buy the dlc because there is SO much grind but the grind makes you better
I think the validity of the Congo DLC is that the game had been out a while, already a lot of high-level players. I see that DLC as geared towards those players. Or for players to get when they have a need for it. I admit, I'd like to have that DLC just for the boat and nothing else, haha. But I think the way people should approach the DLC is either stepping stones to save them some in-game money, get a little quality of life, or to get location-specific stuff when they unlock those areas. But yeah, makes no sense to start at the top on your first week in the game just to get to level 80 faster but then you don't learn anything along the way. I'm still having fun at places like Emerald catching 3 lb Walleye on my original Flagmann telescopic rod with 4 lb line, lol. So far, I've only bought the Rigs DLC because I wanted that backpack, plus having all those dozens of sinkers and rigs saves me money down the road. $6.99 felt like a fair deal for that. Other than that, I buy some premium from time to time just to help move things along plus support the devs too.
To explain, I'm not on my starter equipment still, I have expanded with a 6-rod bag. But I do still use that original 4 lb telescopic because it's fun to still bring out and catch smaller stuff while the bigger poles are waiting on bites. Even so, at level 34 that I hit last night, my best rods are a 12 lb float rig and a 10 llb casting rig. Everything else is 6 lb rigs except for the 4 lb telescopic. I'm taking my time, making money, blowing it sometimes but learning a lot along the way. But yes, I'm gonna need better for Neherrin and Everglades! lol
Dlc wouldn't mean much to me i play fishing planet or i try to have no idea about fishing or different types of rods and what they do but im level 10 so i must be doing somethink right or wrong i just stay in lone star lake because i ain't got a foggiest what to do but im happy playing with my crap rod what ever it all i can say its not a balanced set up. But it still works and got me to level 10 being unbalanced. Boo getting a dlc i wouldn't know what to do with it great video it helps me learn
I went from level 35-68 in like 4 months with out buying a single dlc. And yes I have friends who were close to my level, bought dlc and now they don't play. Those who brag about catching the Nile perch and goliath tiger fish... Cool... What now ? ... Exactly.
The natural progression in any game is a trip best traveled. As far as DLC's are concerned..... In any game most of the dlc content comes with special items. I have been playing fishing planet for YEARS, and with the dlc packs for me personally I love the hats, shirts, and matching gear. I know that sounds a little nerdy, but hey, thats me I guess. I also love the draco boat because of the rod holders on the boat. So buying that boat was a must for me for that reason alone. But buying the dlc just for advancement... That to me is missing the adventure. And that varies from person to person. To each their own... Just enjoy the game in your way, and meet some cool people along the way.
I bought the Amazonian carnival pack because I just couldn’t wait any longer for blue crab island I’m at level 46 so still got a bit to go but once you level up and boost on those dlcs you really slow down and get bored
As dumb as this may sound, I bought the Congo pack for the boat and the rod holders. I know money becomes less of an issue later in the game I like not having to pay the $1000 to rent a kayak lol.
For me it's like if I do by the Congo when I'm level 50 I do it because I want to catch big fish. I don't care in the game about leveling up. I just like catching fish
To be honest, the only reason I bought the Congo DLC is for the boat and it’s rod holders. Being able to have 3 rods out at the same time on a more water based map like blue crab or Amazon, boost your chance of catching something 3x makes that worth it imo. But I also went from lv 51 to 70 in less than a week of playing because the uni Goliath’s that give me 60-70k exp lol
@@rixyz7013 yea I get what you are saying. I may not go to the Congo till later anyway but if I do I can still come back to lower lakes to finish missions and catch fish I haven't yet caught. Still loads to do 👍🏻
I want the dlc becuase I’ve grinded to lvl 50+ on my phone but am only lvl 10 on my Xbox account and want my Xbox account to have the cool places and gear. Wish they’d let you link accounts across platforms.
I just started playing fishing planet not even 3 days ago and I am still figuring everything out but as for grinding I am going to I will start buying dlc’s around lvl 65
I just got back from a 2 ear fishing planet break and i am considering to buy the golden pack tomorrow and i am very excited for all the different rods and equipment !
I was one of the people who purchased the Congo pack at low level and I definitely do not recommend doing it, it is very fun fishing there but you lose out on so much of the game you don't get to fully enjoy the game when using DLC's
I feel people struggle right now I'm lvl 46 and am just constantly grinding sturgeon it's rough takes a while and now that I'm a 200k for money ima have to use a crap tone to buy a bigger net. Not sure if this is a good decision or not but as soon as I get selenge river I'm going to grind the tamen just to see if it's any faster and just for something new for how slow its going
Totally agree with you..the enjoyment is working your way up in the game not paying for the best tackle and levelling up to the top in a week...Its just cheating imo...but each to their own.
I worked my way upto level 10 so far without buying anythink I think if u buy things for the game without having to work for it. Where's the fun in that I've got a crap rod that I'm happy with it still works for me maybe eventually get money saved up to buy a different one I'm glad this guy as talked me out buying a dlc I don't like easy
Premium is where it's at. I wanted to support the Dev's in some way as this game is just really good. I feel like Premium is where the progression should be if it was just a normal full priced game. Bought $30 days at the start but I'll likely keep it at premium moving forward.
Congo rods are crazy good i am using them on a lot of maps and the boat is neat too Honestly, as a father, i dont have time to grind all of it and just want to enjoy some nice fishing spots without caring about money or lvl
Im level 49 with the sport bottom pack and sport heavy casting pack I have my own boat I have a 551 lb keepnet max fish is 165 lbs i have another 62 lb casting combo that i bought with in game cash same with everything else in grinding sturgeon until blue crab island
I can agree with sticking to the natural progression of the game but holy is the sturgeon grind just horrible. It would be one thing if they actually gave you some good xp but they are just the best of the bad. And theyre so boring to fight too
I agree with you, there should be a cap on DLC you have to be at least 5 levels from the DLC level you can go to. I played for two years to get to the top level, yes I bought DLCs, but I use to be a minimum of 5 - 7 levels from the DLC level I wanted to buy.
But I only have aroun 3 hours a day to play and I don't really progress much so if I have better rods at least it would speed it up and I would be willing to pay $5 to speed up just so I can have a little more fun
me i have the Congo river DLC but i prefer not to go to congo instead i learned more about the game and just unlock Levels like normal as of right now im level 48 and im at Ahktuba and well i can afford the Advanced license but i prefer not to cause i still love the fact that you can gamble if your lucky and unlucky and Personally i love that then just do something like this: oh i got A beluga nothing special. instead i prefer to gamble and take the risk of my cash cause why not. thats just me though
I bought the amazonian dlc just for the boat and had 0 clue on what I was doing😂 eventually went broke and quit Recently came back sold the boat and everything else made a lot of money and used it to farm currently level 34 and enjoy the game😊
Personally I work 50 to 70 hours a week, I'm not paying a game I have to grind on for 8 hours to be able to buy a rod. I bought an equipment pack to get a head start. Still grinding all the lakes and missions, I'm going to buy the Congo pack, just for the boat.
@@kolbergone that sucks! Imagine telling your past kid self that as an adult, you’ll someday be so busy that you’d pay extra to make video games shorter 😆 we live crazy lives. Still recommend premium over DLCs.
@BoAngles yeah I pay for premium. The only dlc so far is a gear dlc, it doesn't break the game any more than watching CZcams videos on where and how to catch certain fish. Imagine having someone tell you how and where to catch all the fish, to make the game shorter...? I'm buying the Congo pack next, just for the boat. That's how I enjoy the game. The grind, not so much, catch all the fish and complete missions, yes please.
@BoAngles one more thing lol, when I bought my boat, I went right ahead and bought my Mirrocraft and two 15" hummingbird sonars, and some good rods right off the bat, I didn't start with a kayak and canepole.
I've recently start playing this game, in one week i earned enought to be out of slots for the gear i bought or the freebies received for completing the missions. Then came the first dilema buy baits or else ? First i bought the heavy casting dlc, to get 25 slots but it did not suffice. And considering the promo at 50%, i ended up buying the whole Angler Sport bundle for 30$ but i got 200 slots, 10 slots for mixtures and 9 preset slots for the rods. So i will make the case that it's better to buy some dlc even if the gear per se you get isn't the main reason for purchasing it. Thx for your vids
@@BoAngles 160 baitcoins + 200 stotage slots + 9 templates + 9 mixture slots,( and without counting all the stuff that cost coins in the game). If i were to buy only that it's a fortune, and God knows that we need those damn storage slots... Ok i only got 50 slots of free space in the end, but all the stuff in there is for later use and of great value. Makes the game much more confortable without thinking too much of what to get rid off first to make space. I confess i'm collectionnist and love to see lot' of lures and reels...
I would actually reccommend the Congo pack to get the boat, as far as I know its the only boat with rod holders. Myself and a friend picked up the Amazon and the Congo pack as they come out. We prefer to be at max level(yet we aren't but in our 50s) and have everything unlocked and then going fishing for things that we find fun. Instead of grinding sturgeon for 3 weeks to level from 40 to 50 which we do not find fun at all, it's really hard to keep my friend whos in his 50s irl interested as "grinding" is boring. Currently we are in Mongolia fishing Siberian Taimen which we do find quite fun to catch, and as a bonus we have out Amazon and Congo gear to use, and the Uniques still give decent exp even with 40kg gear.
i get your point but i dont necessary agree. Fishing planet is a singleplayer game. What u do wont effect others. And therefor if u dont like grinding and just wanna be able to travel to different lakes catch throphies of different species and doing missions and u find joy in that. But the grindingpart makes the experience of playing the game bad. why shouldnt u buy a dlc that helps with the grinding. my point is why should others decide what makes a game fun for u. if u get joy from grinding because u like the feeling of all those hours u spent in the game getting to the level that u are and thats whats makes the esperience of pleying FP fun thats great. But others might not find that part of the game joyable. i played the fisherman up to level 42 without buying anything spent hundreds of hours into that game. got tired of it didint played for a year and stopped at lvl 42 didnt wanna gontinue grinding over and over and over . doing the same thing for each level. then i went on f2p fishingplanet and bought congo pack and am currently at lvl 50 after like couple of weeks and for me the games starting to get more fun because i getting more freedom.
That feeling of freedom doesn't last too long. I'd appreciate you coming back and adding to your comment in about 3 months time. Let us know if you're still playing and enjoying the game.
@@BoAngles I mainly focused on the packs that interested me as a carp/match fisherman in the uk. Lure fishing is something I'm looking to get into in real life. Love this game to get that itch out my system when I have the wife at my back to get the grass cut and not go fishing
I'm poor, so zero money spent. But I need to RANT about something! I'm level 33 after 3 months. I HATE having a low level guy decked out in his fancy outfit come to where I'm standing and literally take over MY spot! I kinda like my kayak for that reason lol. Haven't gone past Neherin yet. I love the game. Love your videos... BUT please slow down with your cursor. Stay safe, Vickie
yea if your lvl 45 in a week from a dlc then your playing the game wrong lmao........i've played like 4 days i think i can't remember didn't keep track and im lvl 35 already once u get to michigan your done lmao just farm for days you'll be set
You progress quicker, while not ruining the natural progression of the game. I usually recommend it over gear and location DLCs where you’ll 1. Eventually get gear better than or equal to the gear you paid for, or 2. Boost up 10+ and then be back to slow leveling
@@BoAngles I get that, and fair play for those who want to progress faster. But after playing for a bit now, I would probably prefer to be able to start over with no DLC and no premium. Then again, I already bought the Deluxe pack on a whim, so now I got both... Quite the opposite of what I actually would like to have done... Slightly miffed about it. Seriously considering to get rid of (just selling) everything, and playing the game onwards "bare" as intended. Might even put everything I earned sofar into storage space, to get a bit of the game economy feel back.
@@BoAngles I'm only level 14 at the moment, so haven't messed up too much. I guess this evening, I'm going to sell all the DLC stuff and just buy level-appropriate gear. Messing about a bit on Ghent/Terneuzen Canal at the moment. As a Dutchman myself it feels familiar, but heck what a boring map. We got better fishing spots. :P
I just bought the lucky start dlc cuz I wanted to target some bass for fun in the game, not to level up or grind my levels but just to have fun. ( am a bass fisherman in real life) and didn’t have access to a casting rod or bass tackle early on. Other than that I have grinded. I still kind of consider myself a free to play player. Going after the bigger bass at mud water set me up good with the mechanics of the game. It’s okay to have a little boost I think. 10 bucks good investment. Also, I bought multiples of the same items over and over again and sold to lower my income so I got rid of the 10k it came with. Just wanted the rod and lires

Me and some guys started playing this game some time ago. And this video explains it all.
We started around 5-6 guys. A couple of them got impatient and bought the Congo DLC and another one bought the Gold Pack.
The one who bought the Congo pack, travelled there instantly, and could not shut up about that level and what was good and bad (almost like revealing the ending of a movie noone else has seen yet), while the rest of us did not buy anything and was only on Emerald Lake.
3 weeks later, all the guys who bought DLCs and abandoned the game because they said it is boring, and the rest of us, are still playing and fighting our way though the levels and missions. :)
TL;DR
If you like this game. Dont buy any DLCs.
But if you do, then avoid any DLCs that give you access to levels that are above your current level.
Its totally archieveable to reach max level without any DLC or Premium. Its all about playing the game! :D
Patriot DLC Pack lures are absolutely broken. I deleted all my regular money lures and kept only Baitcoin and DLC lures. Also Club Enthusiast pack gives you ability to buy lures that compare with X-series stuff, and that actually does make a difference you feel instantly.
The first lure I totally recommend buying for club credits is the black 15cm shad. Put it on a 8/0 barbless hook and make sure nothing in your setup is below 20kg, because Unique muskies will brake it!
What maps for more XP?
I personally just bought the congo pack at lvl 42 i knew stuff about the game and now i know even more about it in 20 days i became lvl72 (with grinding) and now i am on vacation i just like getting online and being able to fish on any fish i wanna fish for. (My opinion)
Same here man I bough Congo yesterday I was level 39 and now im level 50

Does Congo DLC go on sale often or ever? I have a hard time justifying 40 bucks but I'd probably jump on it if it was 20 or less. I'm already lvl 45 and don't own any DLCs.
Here is another pro-DLC argument: let's say I want a full blown boat. And I WANT IT IN THE GAME NOW, not 150h of grind later, which makes me hate the game and myself too. I'm an adult. I just left few hundred moneys at the fishing store for impulse purchase of bigbait pike lures. My time is worth more than those 30-something moneys for a DLC.
I've been playing off and on for 5 years and have around 1500 hours played between Steam & PS4. I feel the same way about DLCs, I got the Sports Bundle on PS4 because it was deeply discounted (something like 90% for the entire bundle, it was the holidays 2017), I outgrew all the gear except the hat (4 tackle slots). PS4 version was my first but Steam became my main account and has 1000 hours on it, no DLCs but I currently have Premium and usually do when I dip back into the game. I'm only level 51 on Steam (38 on PS4), I spend a lot of time just playing around the lower level lakes and grinding for cash with OP rods instead of following an efficient path of gaining Experience. I've got most of the missions and achievements done except tournament related ones. I really enjoy the game and don't feel the need to race to the end or waste money on DLCs that I'll outgrow in short order.
I chose to buy the Golden Pack. Mainly for the Kajak, the FishFort XL Plus, the rod stand and especially the increased storage capacities (at the river and +200 at home).
Your videos are great. Please keep them coming. Greetings from Germany.
It is the best value fishing pack
I am enjoying my rebirth in the game very much. I am at level 22 and have a sense of accomplishment. I know there are people that like the end game in games but I like the journey and it makes the destination so much tastier!!
I think the Starter Pack is a good dlc. 10 bucks and you get some nice quality of life improvements, such as the 3 rod case, tackle box, and the 7 days of premium and advanced licenses. It really helped me out in the beginning, but I also don’t feel like I was given some crazy good gear and it ruined it for me. I enjoy catching all types of fish, so its awesome being able to bring 3 different rods with me.
I just reached the point where I can buy all of the stuff that I got from it, and I gotta say it was money well spent. Plus I’m still using the prem/licenses.
As a relatively new player, I have actually bought the Deluxe Pack to have some more variety of rods and items, a 5 rod foudraal, a rod stand, a huge keepnet, etc. I do agree that I did not NEED to buy it, but I do feel it was worth it. It was either the Deluxe Pack or the Advanced Pack for me. I don't see the benefit of buying more though, because you would get more of the same. And I like to support the game developers for what is otherwise a free game.
Looking back on this comment, I do prefer I wouldn't have bought anything... The pack is good value for money, but still.
the only reason i want the congo dlc is the fact its the only boat with rod holders i want to grind because its calming and actually enjoyable
Got the congo when i was level 19, and was the best thing ever, have 1000 plus hours on this game, just got the Japan DLC and it so good!!!! Got a lot of money i can buy anything and i cant fish a any place i want use diferent rods try diferent baits, find new spots!!
Good points. It's why I have a hard time getting into Fishing Sim World Tour, which I bought with a bundle of location DLCs that included an obscene amount of gear. The progression to earn gear and levels is one of the most rewarding things about Fisher Online and Fishing Planet; so short cutting just ruins the fun for me.
I bought the blue crab island dlc around level 15 and I got so addicted to catching tarpon in that month that I had it. Now I'm level 30 and grinding to level 54 just so I can experience it again. I don't think I would grind as much as I do if I wouldn't have experienced that. That being said I won't buy any other dlc just so I don't get to that goal to fast and never play again
Ok, here is a different point of view. As na angler, you try to maximize your satisfaction when fishing. Some anglers fish with expensive equipment, buy top class licenses, go on a premium spots to catch the most and the biggest fish. Some fish with lures, some prefer live bait. If you try to make them fish differently they won't enjoy fishing that much. So the truth is somewhere in the middle. Buy smart to enhance your satisfaction, just enough. I bought huge 70kg keepnet and a kayak and the rest will earn. Currently level 35.
Come update this post once you hit 50
I bought the Congo and the Amazon dlcs a while back. I did it because I wanted to experience the big fish and have fun. I didn't really do it to level up quickly, but I ended up doing that to lol. Now I'm stuck at level 59 in between the Maku Maku and Marron River stage of the game, which sucks. I'm considering getting the wild africa dlc just to get to Marron River to make Fishing Planet fun again.
I've got 2 kids and not as much time to grind bought deluxe helped me clean up Everglades and st croix ..but I do recommend actually doing the challenges and monster fish really boosted me
I got the Congo at lvl 18 and now 80 after grinding Congo. I’m still playing and loving the fact that I can buy everything I want and fish every fish in the game. I hate the grind , started a new no money spent account. I’m lvl 8 and hating it already.. Congo pack is worth it for those that want everything at once and can have fun like me with everything you want to fish. For those that like to grind then it’s not worth it
Patriot DLC Pack lures are absolutely broken. I deleted all my regular money lures and kept only Baitcoin and DLC lures. Also Club Enthusiast pack gives you ability to buy lures that compare with X-series stuff, and that actually does make a difference you feel instantly.
That’s cool! Glad you found your way of playing the game!
The Skyrim reference......I said it word for word before you said it. I said yeah like getting Daedric Armor right away lol. Love it.
3 months old and still 100% viable for us noobs. Greatly appreciated! (puts wallet away)
thank you for this info i was going to buy the japan dlc but now im just going to get the club enthusiast pack for a small boost to make the game slightly more fun for the time being. thanks bo
Back in 2015 or 2016 when I first started It was like 7am IRL I hadn't gone to bed and I was trying to catch fish in emerald lake but really didn't have a good setup. I was in there alone with some guy and we spoke for an hour about nothing. He eventually gave me a cheap predator pack as a gift and it changed the game so much. It was a blessing and helped me out for quite a while, but I never purchased any other DLC after this because it really does make the game too easy.
I’m happy your making these videos that way so people don’t ask you but some new people might ask. Good video.👌🏻
I bought the congo dlc after like 1 day of playing the game, went from like lvl 5 to 50 in a week. It completely ruined the grind from me, now it just feels so boring to fish in the locations that I can since I was able to fish in Congo for the time I had the license from the dlc. I honestly just bought the dlc because I really liked the boat and I wanted it so badly. The rods and everything was just extra for me and I didn’t even realise how long it would’ve actually taken me to get the gear I got from the dlc if I wouldn’t have bought it. And I also had no idea that I would level up SO fast in Congo.
I love games with grind as long as it's satisfying. The grind in this game has always been satisfying to me.
That realisation comes to every player after they buy something. For me, best money spent are on quality of life items where you can stack up on everything you dobt need and carry with you, stands, keepnets and ofc premium...but even premium some times get you there faster than you wanted and you realise that when you on top....except you dont enjoy engame but getting there.
Lures have in-game parameters: out of which 2 are most important: 1 - Visibility range and 2 - Fish size compatibility. You can really see that #3/0 Patriot DLC walker gets hit by everything, even small perch and chub, which have low hookup ratio, but they go for it.
Neat!
My cousin got me the deluxe pack when he seen I was playing this game all day, got to 46 in about a week. Pretty much not using any of the pack equipment anymore but the vest and hat. Still grinding hard on this game. Soo fun
Ya totally agree. One thing I think is pretty stupid also is how much the game shoves the dlcs in ur face. Almost everyone I joins room 2 or 3 packs show up in my face.
Bought a gold pack for my sister, she had just started the game so i bought her that pack for 3 reasons.
1: Keepnet - Without a decent sized keepnet you dont get enough money at the start and your stuck fishing small bass and panfish too long.
2. Rod stand - So she can put in bottom rods and still use a spinner.
3. So she can experience a couple of other fishing zones at the start and show her some good spots and fishing methods. I remember starting off and being stuck in lone start/mudwater for much more then I honestly found fun. Granted I spend unwisely at the start and she would not have that problem but still.
As far as the higher level rods/gear.
A 20 or so kilogram rod is perfectly serviceable for a low level area. Just put on a smaller leader to fish for the smaller fish. Casting rods are an exception as you wont be able to cast a light lure far enough but lucky that the pack contains featherlight as well as heavy rods.
It does not ruin the game. A congo pack ofc is overkill.. Even the gold is overkill , if the cheapest pack had a 50 kg net and a 2 rod stand in it that would have been the pick.
But i Do agree that it is more satisfying to have played from lvl 1 and leveled up and ground up yourself. My sister however will probably stop playing the game (entirely) in a few weeks and and want her to have fun while she does play it :D (she is not a gamer at all)
PRO ANGLER SPORT BUNDLE is the only dlc i suggest if you are a lower level player it's a nice saving on buying some loadouts and gear without really cutting a large part of exp gain
I bought the sports pack when I originally started fishing planet. My brother got me into it (he's the real fisher, not me^^). Since I had NO IDEA WHATSOEVER about fishing I thought Okay, let's get some starting stuff because it will fit together I don't have to worry about bying part x that doesn't work with part y and what not. I guess that goal was achieved. I was able to fish with my brother and not being left behind thaaat far.
Not it's later, I know the basics and can actually kinda sorta adjust to a new situation I reeeeaaaally regret the purchase.
First the practical part, I am massively behind in experience. Since I'm only playing with my brother we're going to the same locations of course. So there I am in the beginner lakes with my sports pack stuff and barely getting any xp while he just crushes it with his starter gear and leaving me in the dust in regards to xp.
The second, and more important reason (for me) is simply the progression as mentioned by Bo. I'm lvl 25 (remember, still kinda slowmode due to xp reduce) now technically I still don't have to worry about anything. I would guess the sports gear would get me to 30 bevor needing to think about new stuff.
But here is the thing. I was kind of fed up about the xp reduce and startet ditching my sports gear and setting up some lower stuff and since then it's just so much more fun. Not due to the increased difficulty per catch but due to the whole "hm what kind of rod could I build with that or that and for what". Finally got exited about everything I unlock each level and the options that come along with it. Completly ditched the sports stuff in the storage by now.
To conclude this awfully long rant (sorry about that): Regretting the purchase after the fact BUT I don't think I would have gotten to the point where I can regret it without having it since I probably wouldn't have had the patience to get into all the mechanics.
So if you can, go without any dlc but IF you buy any do yourself a favor and pick a low one that will reach it's limits sooner.
Always happy to see a Bz hub post
The only things that can be good for dlcs is buying them for either the boats and the fishforts. You can buy them for the rods and stuff but most of the rods in the pcaks you can get in the game free. I'm not totally against dlcs its just for whenever you're like AT the end. Like on the amazonian maze or AT the congo.
I've started over in this game at level 30 like 3 times so I have more experience in the game than someone whos level 80 cause ive pit so Mich time in I know what to look for and how to trouble shoot lakes in order to make the most money I can in a day but I dont get mad at people who do buy the dlc because there is SO much grind but the grind makes you better
I think the validity of the Congo DLC is that the game had been out a while, already a lot of high-level players. I see that DLC as geared towards those players. Or for players to get when they have a need for it. I admit, I'd like to have that DLC just for the boat and nothing else, haha. But I think the way people should approach the DLC is either stepping stones to save them some in-game money, get a little quality of life, or to get location-specific stuff when they unlock those areas. But yeah, makes no sense to start at the top on your first week in the game just to get to level 80 faster but then you don't learn anything along the way. I'm still having fun at places like Emerald catching 3 lb Walleye on my original Flagmann telescopic rod with 4 lb line, lol. So far, I've only bought the Rigs DLC because I wanted that backpack, plus having all those dozens of sinkers and rigs saves me money down the road. $6.99 felt like a fair deal for that. Other than that, I buy some premium from time to time just to help move things along plus support the devs too.
To explain, I'm not on my starter equipment still, I have expanded with a 6-rod bag. But I do still use that original 4 lb telescopic because it's fun to still bring out and catch smaller stuff while the bigger poles are waiting on bites. Even so, at level 34 that I hit last night, my best rods are a 12 lb float rig and a 10 llb casting rig. Everything else is 6 lb rigs except for the 4 lb telescopic. I'm taking my time, making money, blowing it sometimes but learning a lot along the way. But yes, I'm gonna need better for Neherrin and Everglades! lol
The other ONLY other exception is buying one of the sport pack, because there only 5$, and you get a lot of stuff!!!
i just bought a few sport packs to make stuff easier on myself
Dlc wouldn't mean much to me i play fishing planet or i try to have no idea about fishing or different types of rods and what they do but im level 10 so i must be doing somethink right or wrong i just stay in lone star lake because i ain't got a foggiest what to do but im happy playing with my crap rod what ever it all i can say its not a balanced set up. But it still works and got me to level 10 being unbalanced. Boo getting a dlc i wouldn't know what to do with it great video it helps me learn
I went from level 35-68 in like 4 months with out buying a single dlc. And yes I have friends who were close to my level, bought dlc and now they don't play. Those who brag about catching the Nile perch and goliath tiger fish... Cool... What now ? ... Exactly.
Too true. It happens all too often.
i rather spend 30 bucks and have fun than that i need to grind 100 hours with no fun and still not reach the same amount that the 30 bucks was
The natural progression in any game is a trip best traveled. As far as DLC's are concerned..... In any game most of the dlc content comes with special items. I have been playing fishing planet for YEARS, and with the dlc packs for me personally I love the hats, shirts, and matching gear. I know that sounds a little nerdy, but hey, thats me I guess. I also love the draco boat because of the rod holders on the boat. So buying that boat was a must for me for that reason alone. But buying the dlc just for advancement... That to me is missing the adventure. And that varies from person to person. To each their own... Just enjoy the game in your way, and meet some cool people along the way.
I’ve bought a good amount of dlc in fishing planet I bought them at level 18 and I am at level 23 so it also depends on how much you play
I bought the Amazonian carnival pack because I just couldn’t wait any longer for blue crab island I’m at level 46 so still got a bit to go but once you level up and boost on those dlcs you really slow down and get bored
As dumb as this may sound, I bought the Congo pack for the boat and the rod holders. I know money becomes less of an issue later in the game I like not having to pay the $1000 to rent a kayak lol.
For me it's like if I do by the Congo when I'm level 50 I do it because I want to catch big fish. I don't care in the game about leveling up. I just like catching fish
To be honest, the only reason I bought the Congo DLC is for the boat and it’s rod holders. Being able to have 3 rods out at the same time on a more water based map like blue crab or Amazon, boost your chance of catching something 3x makes that worth it imo. But I also went from lv 51 to 70 in less than a week of playing because the uni Goliath’s that give me 60-70k exp lol
I'm tempted to buy this pack for the very same reason. Just for the boat with rod holders
@@gazplayz be aware, I got bored of the game at lv 79. It’s not worth it, if you do. Then don’t go to the Congo because it ruined the game for me
@@rixyz7013 yea I get what you are saying. I may not go to the Congo till later anyway but if I do I can still come back to lower lakes to finish missions and catch fish I haven't yet caught. Still loads to do 👍🏻
My sole reason for buying the Congo DLC was so I could have a boat with rod holders 🤪
You got a point as always
I have been playing since release, and have all the DLCs, haha. Still play least an hour daily.
Thats why now im rushing to lvl 74😅, i buy the congo dlc and im racing with time now lvl 39, 35lvl to go
I want the dlc becuase I’ve grinded to lvl 50+ on my phone but am only lvl 10 on my Xbox account and want my Xbox account to have the cool places and gear. Wish they’d let you link accounts across platforms.
Yess brother......it's true....playing the game and gain experience is better...bro...good man 👍👍👍👍
I spent $40 on the game just to support the developers simply because i was playing the game a lot !!!!!! We all should if we can afford it !!!!
Heck yeah- 360 days of premium for $30 on Black Friday isn’t bad, but a DLC it is not.
I just started playing fishing planet not even 3 days ago and I am still figuring everything out but as for grinding I am going to I will start buying dlc’s around lvl 65
I just got back from a 2 ear fishing planet break and i am considering to buy the golden pack tomorrow and i am very excited for all the different rods and equipment !
Good deal!
I was one of the people who purchased the Congo pack at low level and I definitely do not recommend doing it, it is very fun fishing there but you lose out on so much of the game you don't get to fully enjoy the game when using DLC's
Yea but then you can go back to tackling the other locations and missions etc so it doesn't matter either way really 👍🏻
I feel people struggle right now I'm lvl 46 and am just constantly grinding sturgeon it's rough takes a while and now that I'm a 200k for money ima have to use a crap tone to buy a bigger net. Not sure if this is a good decision or not but as soon as I get selenge river I'm going to grind the tamen just to see if it's any faster and just for something new for how slow its going
I bought a rod and reel pack for bass and it decreased how much xp I got by alot
That’s sad
I think if you use stuff that's overpowered for the fish you're going for it decreases how much xp you get
Totally agree with you..the enjoyment is working your way up in the game not paying for the best tackle and levelling up to the top in a week...Its just cheating imo...but each to their own.
I worked my way upto level 10 so far without buying anythink I think if u buy things for the game without having to work for it. Where's the fun in that I've got a crap rod that I'm happy with it still works for me maybe eventually get money saved up to buy a different one I'm glad this guy as talked me out buying a dlc I don't like easy
This dude need at least 500k subs loving it
Premium is where it's at. I wanted to support the Dev's in some way as this game is just really good. I feel like Premium is where the progression should be if it was just a normal full priced game. Bought $30 days at the start but I'll likely keep it at premium moving forward.
Congo rods are crazy good i am using them on a lot of maps and the boat is neat too
Honestly, as a father, i dont have time to grind all of it and just want to enjoy some nice fishing spots without caring about money or lvl
Hey, whatever floats your fishing boat
Im level 49 with the sport bottom pack and sport heavy casting pack I have my own boat I have a 551 lb keepnet max fish is 165 lbs i have another 62 lb casting combo that i bought with in game cash same with everything else in grinding sturgeon until blue crab island
I can agree with sticking to the natural progression of the game but holy is the sturgeon grind just horrible. It would be one thing if they actually gave you some good xp but they are just the best of the bad. And theyre so boring to fight too
Too true
I agree with you, there should be a cap on DLC you have to be at least 5 levels from the DLC level you can go to. I played for two years to get to the top level, yes I bought DLCs, but I use to be a minimum of 5 - 7 levels from the DLC level I wanted to buy.
Hi, I picked up the game after playing it in 2017. I'm lvl 39 and whent to everglades today. I can't use my duetstand rod stand over there. Why?
Are the $5 sports packs alright to buy because they're not really progressing you there just giving you a better rod
Why would you pay money for a rod you can get for free in the game?
But I only have aroun 3 hours a day to play and I don't really progress much so if I have better rods at least it would speed it up and I would be willing to pay $5 to speed up just so I can have a little more fun
I bought the cheap $25 boat. Didn't ruin it too much but I know what you mean about Congo.
me i have the Congo river DLC but i prefer not to go to congo instead i learned more about the game and just unlock Levels like normal as of right now im level 48 and im at Ahktuba and well i can afford the Advanced license but i prefer not to cause i still love the fact that you can gamble if your lucky and unlucky and Personally i love that then just do something like this: oh i got A beluga nothing special. instead i prefer to gamble and take the risk of my cash cause why not. thats just me though
I bought the amazonian dlc just for the boat and had 0 clue on what I was doing😂 eventually went broke and quit Recently came back sold the boat and everything else made a lot of money and used it to farm currently level 34 and enjoy the game😊
Personally I work 50 to 70 hours a week, I'm not paying a game I have to grind on for 8 hours to be able to buy a rod. I bought an equipment pack to get a head start. Still grinding all the lakes and missions, I'm going to buy the Congo pack, just for the boat.
@@kolbergone that sucks! Imagine telling your past kid self that as an adult, you’ll someday be so busy that you’d pay extra to make video games shorter 😆 we live crazy lives.
Still recommend premium over DLCs.
@BoAngles yeah I pay for premium. The only dlc so far is a gear dlc, it doesn't break the game any more than watching CZcams videos on where and how to catch certain fish. Imagine having someone tell you how and where to catch all the fish, to make the game shorter...? I'm buying the Congo pack next, just for the boat. That's how I enjoy the game. The grind, not so much, catch all the fish and complete missions, yes please.
@BoAngles one more thing lol, when I bought my boat, I went right ahead and bought my Mirrocraft and two 15" hummingbird sonars, and some good rods right off the bat, I didn't start with a kayak and canepole.
@@kolbergone well you’re just an interesting duck altogether! 😂 at least you’re having fun! Take care!
So now what is your level sir, I just buy the congo dlc too yesterday 😂, need to grind to lvl 74 before the pass end
Does dlc things will be in my inventory after week or mounth
I just remember having to gring so much just to get acces to a stupid hook size, a 12 yo can go and any hook lol
I've recently start playing this game, in one week i earned enought to be out of slots for the gear i bought or the freebies received for completing the missions.
Then came the first dilema buy baits or else ?
First i bought the heavy casting dlc, to get 25 slots but it did not suffice. And considering the promo at 50%, i ended up buying the whole Angler Sport bundle for 30$ but i got 200 slots, 10 slots for mixtures and 9 preset slots for the rods. So i will make the case that it's better to buy some dlc even if the gear per se you get isn't the main reason for purchasing it.
Thx for your vids
So how much were just buying slots?
@@BoAngles 160 baitcoins + 200 stotage slots + 9 templates + 9 mixture slots,( and without counting all the stuff that cost coins in the game).
If i were to buy only that it's a fortune, and God knows that we need those damn storage slots...
Ok i only got 50 slots of free space in the end, but all the stuff in there is for later use and of great value. Makes the game much more confortable without thinking too much of what to get rid off first to make space. I confess i'm collectionnist and love to see lot' of lures and reels...
You should rank all fishing spots in fishing planet. From worst to best
Both dlc boats have things you can’t get tho the Congo pack boat has rod holders and the blue boat has 500hp and is the fastest boat in the game
I don’t think the benefits are worth that much… unless you’re really hurting for rod holders on a boat
I would actually reccommend the Congo pack to get the boat, as far as I know its the only boat with rod holders.
Myself and a friend picked up the Amazon and the Congo pack as they come out. We prefer to be at max level(yet we aren't but in our 50s) and have everything unlocked and then going fishing for things that we find fun. Instead of grinding sturgeon for 3 weeks to level from 40 to 50 which we do not find fun at all, it's really hard to keep my friend whos in his 50s irl interested as "grinding" is boring. Currently we are in Mongolia fishing Siberian Taimen which we do find quite fun to catch, and as a bonus we have out Amazon and Congo gear to use, and the Uniques still give decent exp even with 40kg gear.
still buying the congo pass i want that boat xD that and ive leveled up to mid 30s with no dlc and im super tired of it xD
Again black screen so those are the 30 second vids for me Bo. Much regards!
buying dlc or not theend of the day u still need grind, because that part of this game
this could be the best fishing gaming simulator if they added underwater camera
The fish are randomly generated, so there wouldn’t be any point, there’s nothing down there
I bought Dlc cause it was on sale and im just having fun in this game till the Angler drops
I pay because I got the game for free. Don’t mind supporting. Only wish the dlc rod versions were more distinct
I bought the pro series packs and the gar and glory I was stuck at everglades for ever so I just spent the money I had
I should’ve looked at this video because I bought some dlcs they where the bass boat explore pack and the sports pack dlc
I think it just depends on how much time you have to play honestly.
i get your point but i dont necessary agree. Fishing planet is a singleplayer game. What u do wont effect others. And therefor if u dont like grinding and just wanna be able to travel to different lakes catch throphies of different species and doing missions and u find joy in that. But the grindingpart makes the experience of playing the game bad. why shouldnt u buy a dlc that helps with the grinding. my point is why should others decide what makes a game fun for u. if u get joy from grinding because u like the feeling of all those hours u spent in the game getting to the level that u are and thats whats makes the esperience of pleying FP fun thats great. But others might not find that part of the game joyable.
i played the fisherman up to level 42 without buying anything spent hundreds of hours into that game. got tired of it didint played for a year and stopped at lvl 42 didnt wanna gontinue grinding over and over and over . doing the same thing for each level. then i went on f2p fishingplanet and bought congo pack and am currently at lvl 50 after like couple of weeks and for me the games starting to get more fun because i getting more freedom.
That feeling of freedom doesn't last too long. I'd appreciate you coming back and adding to your comment in about 3 months time. Let us know if you're still playing and enjoying the game.
Yes I’m 5th
I like the game but some of the dlc stuff seems to be over priced.
I brought some dlcs, more to support the devs than stuff I really needed in game.
Premium and holiday DLCs are great for that 😉
@@BoAngles I mainly focused on the packs that interested me as a carp/match fisherman in the uk. Lure fishing is something I'm looking to get into in real life. Love this game to get that itch out my system when I have the wife at my back to get the grass cut and not go fishing
Does a sport pack count as a dlc?
I'm poor, so zero money spent. But I need to RANT about something! I'm level 33 after 3 months. I HATE having a low level guy decked out in his fancy outfit come to where I'm standing and literally take over MY spot! I kinda like my kayak for that reason lol. Haven't gone past Neherin yet. I love the game. Love your videos... BUT please slow down with your cursor. Stay safe, Vickie
It has taken me 5 years just to get to level 85😮😮
@@05fordgtx1 heck yeah, that’s sweet
yea if your lvl 45 in a week from a dlc then your playing the game wrong lmao........i've played like 4 days i think i can't remember didn't keep track and im lvl 35 already once u get to michigan your done lmao just farm for days you'll be set
Also, I don't really see the benefit of paying for a premium account, as you won't get anything special for it. Or is that just me?
You progress quicker, while not ruining the natural progression of the game. I usually recommend it over gear and location DLCs where you’ll 1. Eventually get gear better than or equal to the gear you paid for, or 2. Boost up 10+ and then be back to slow leveling
@@BoAngles I get that, and fair play for those who want to progress faster. But after playing for a bit now, I would probably prefer to be able to start over with no DLC and no premium. Then again, I already bought the Deluxe pack on a whim, so now I got both... Quite the opposite of what I actually would like to have done... Slightly miffed about it. Seriously considering to get rid of (just selling) everything, and playing the game onwards "bare" as intended. Might even put everything I earned sofar into storage space, to get a bit of the game economy feel back.
@@erikdevries8652 depends on how much time you have to play, and what level you’re currently at…

Hey thxs
I just bought the lucky start dlc cuz I wanted to target some bass for fun in the game, not to level up or grind my levels but just to have fun. ( am a bass fisherman in real life) and didn’t have access to a casting rod or bass tackle early on. Other than that I have grinded. I still kind of consider myself a free to play player. Going after the bigger bass at mud water set me up good with the mechanics of the game. It’s okay to have a little boost I think. 10 bucks good investment. Also, I bought multiples of the same items over and over again and sold to lower my income so I got rid of the 10k it came with. Just wanted the rod and lires
