New Summer Catalog

Together with the Summer Catalog comes the Summer tackleboxes! You will be receiving these tackleboxes if you play actively every 48 Hours. So the tackleboxes have a 48 hour cooldown with the drops! We've also made an UI element to show if you're able to receive a tacklebox or not. You're able to receive the tackleboxes during: 27.06 Thursday - 29.07 Monday After that you are no longer able to receive these summer tackleboxes. The Summer Catalog Shop will be opening later today! In Approx. 6-8Hours. You can still receive tackleboxes right away! See you on the Isles!
