Sundered Isles
The Sundered Isles are a tropical island world built around fishing, bug catching, and other non-combat activities. You fish the beaches, catch insects, comb the shore for treasure, and run errands for the locals. Everything you do here earns Suns, the island's own currency, which you spend on island gear, rods, and permanent perks.
Reach the Isles through the portal at spawn, or with /warp summer.
TIP
The Isles are a permanent part of the server, so there's no rush. Work the fishing and bug collections at your own pace. The rewards and unlocked shops stay with you.
Suns: the island currency
You earn Suns by completing commissions (errands for the locals), hitting collection milestones, and finding beach treasure. Spend them at the island's traders on rods, baits, cosmetics, and one-time perks.
Meet the locals
Two traders run the island's shops, and each opens up once you do a small favour for them:
| Trader | Role | Unlock | Reward |
|---|---|---|---|
| Maren | Artifact Trader: rods, baits, consumables, perks & stat shards | Bring her 3 Pearls | 800 Suns + her shop opens for good |
| Tilda | Outfitter: island wardrobe & cosmetics | Bring her 5 Hardened Leather | 700 Suns + her wardrobe opens for good |
Pearls come from fishing the Isles and beach treasure; Hardened Leather turns up in beach chests. Once a shop is unlocked, it stays open.
What to do on the Isles
Fishing
The Isles are their own fishing zone with 24 custom fish, each tied to the time of day or the weather. You buy better rods from Maren and work toward completing the collection. See Fishing the Isles for the rods, baits, fish, and treasure.
Bug catching
Grab an Empty Jar from Maren and catch the island's insects. Bugs come in three grades (Common, Fine, and Pristine) and you sell them to the island's Bug Catcher for Suns. Higher grades pay more, and the Collector's Instinct perks raise your odds of catching them.
Beach treasure
Message bottles and beach chests wash up along the shore. Open them for valuables, ocean materials, food, and crafting goods like Pearls and Hardened Leather, the materials you need to unlock the shops.
Permanent perks
Maren sells one-time upgrades that stay on your account. Buy each tier once:
| Perk | Effect |
|---|---|
| Angler's Fortune I / II / III | +10% / +20% / +30% chance at rare Sundered fish |
| Collector's Instinct I / II / III | +10% / +20% / +30% chance to catch higher-grade bugs |
| Commission Veteran | Unlocks an extra commission slot |
| Sun-Kissed | +5% Suns from commissions, plus a permanent golden aura |
She also stocks temporary consumables: a Honeydew Attractant (doubles bug spawns for a while), a Pheromone Vial (guarantees your next catch is Fine or better), and a Double Haul Token (doubles the Suns from your next commission).
Island gear
Two leather armour sets are crafted at the Armory from island materials, once you've unlocked the matching Blueprint:
- Angler's Garb — the fisher's outfit, in tropical teal. Made from Sundered Isles fish, Pearls, and Prismarine Shards.
- Naturalist's Garb — the bug-catcher's outfit, in olive green. Built from the same kinds of island materials.
Apply Tideworn Stat Shards (sold by Maren) to boost a piece's stats. Like other custom gear, these sets wear out and can't be repaired at an anvil.
Collection rewards
The Sundered Isles fishing collection pays out in Suns as you fill it, with a title at the end:
| Fish discovered | Reward |
|---|---|
| 6 | 1,500 Suns |
| 12 | 5,000 Suns |
| 18 | 12,000 Suns |
| 24 | 25,000 Suns + the Tideworn title |
