    I agree with most of what’s been said. I’ll add that v1.6 is being released on March 19; I’m not sure if that includes PS5, but it’s worth checking for.

    Fishing can be hard. I’m not sure how much of this transfers from the PC to the PS5, but: fishing closer to shore generally gets you easier fish. You can buy fish stew from Willy, which increases your fishing level for a couple hours, which can be useful if you’re struggling. Similarly, the daily special from the bar sometimes has fishing buffs. [When you have money to spend on extravagances, you can buy a phone from Robin, which is part of my wakeup routine: check all the tv channels, and call Gus to find the daily specials.] If you zoom in, the fishing bar becomes bigger and you need less fine detail in maneveuring the bar. Stuff you pull in from crab pots (available from level 2 fishing) counts toward increasing your fishing level. Probably other fishing stuff, that’s what occurs offhand.

    You can stash chests around the valley to store things in, but try to put them in out of the way places like in bushes, etc; if the NPCs walk through them, your chest is destroyed. But its really nice to have a spare chest at the beach or at the top of the dungeon elevators; some people stash them near people’s houses and dump presents for the occupants in them, so they don’t have to carry them around.

    Oh, and bring a prismatic shard to the desert.
