The Stingray is a large, flat fish found only in the Pirate Cove on Ginger Island. It bites in every season, at any hour and in any weather, but it is one of the harder regular fish to land. Its sell price is solid, and it doubles as a currency: the Island Trader swaps a Mahogany Seed for each Stingray. Willy's "Tropical Fish" special order asks for five of them. In a Fish Pond, Stingrays produce roe along with Cinder Shards, Magma Caps, Battery Packs and even Dragon Teeth.
Catching
The Pirate Cove is a cave on Ginger Island, so the island must be unlocked first. The Stingray swims in the water inside the cove and nowhere else.
Season, weather and time of day make no difference. Once the cove is open, a Stingray can be fished up whenever the farmer is there.
On the line, the Stingray is a sinker with a high difficulty. It darts around the bar and then sinks hard, so it slips away easily. A Cork Bobber gives a wider green bar, and a Trap Bobber slows the Stingray's escape. A Sonar Bobber shows which fish is on the line before reeling it in, so a player hunting Stingrays can tell at once what has bitten.
Prices
A Stingray sells for a solid price. Quality and professions push it much higher. A top-quality Stingray sold with a Fishing profession can fetch up to three times the base price.
A Fish Smoker takes one piece of Coal per Stingray and doubles its price again, quality unchanged.
In a Fish Pond, Stingrays reproduce every four days. The pond starts with room for three fish. Two requests open it to ten. The first asks for 7 Cinder Shards, and the second asks for a Dragon Tooth.
Stingray Roe is the main product, and it is worth 120g. A Preserves Jar turns it into Aged Roe worth twice as much. From four fish upward, the pond can make a Magma Cap. From seven upward it adds stacks of Cinder Shards. A pond of nine or ten adds Battery Packs and the occasional Dragon Tooth. That makes a full Stingray pond one of the more varied ponds on the farm.
Uses
The Island Trader on Ginger Island sells Mahogany Seeds for one Stingray each. A Mahogany Tree drops Hardwood when chopped, so a stock of Stingrays turns into a steady supply of Hardwood on the farm.
Willy posts the "Tropical Fish" special order on the board outside the Mayor's Manor once Ginger Island is unlocked. It asks for five Stingrays.
In the kitchen, the Stingray counts as "any fish" for Sashimi, Maki Roll and Quality Fertilizer. Those recipes waste its value.
At the Sewing Machine, a Stingray in the spool makes a dyeable Sailor Shirt. Emily and Haley's house has dye pots, and Stingray fills the orange one.
A Bait Maker turns one Stingray into Stingray Bait. Targeted bait raises the chance of hooking another Stingray, which speeds up both the special order and Mahogany Seed trading.
Gifts
The Stingray is a poor gift. Among those who feel neutral about Stingray are the marriage candidates Elliott and Sebastian. Willy and Leo share that view, and so do the older residents Demetrius, Linus and Pam.
The Dwarf, Krobus, Sandy and the Wizard dislike Stingray. The children Jas and Vincent dislike it as well, as do Abigail, Alex, Emily, Harvey, Leah, Maru, Penny, Sam and Shane. The older villagers Caroline, George, Jodi, Kent and Lewis share that view, and so do Clint, Gus, Marnie and Robin.
Evelyn, Haley and Pierre hate it.
Notes
Keep a few Stingrays alive in a pond rather than selling every catch. The pond breeds replacements for Mahogany Seed trades, and its own output covers the Cinder Shards and Dragon Tooth needed to grow a second pond.
