Roblox games keep growing and changing every day. One of the most relaxing games on the platform is My Fishing Pier. It allows players to catch many kinds of fish in different areas. Recently, the game added a new update called the Oil Rig Update. This brought a brand-new location, new types of fish, and a new currency.
If you’re wondering how to visit the Oil Rig, how to fish there, and what rewards you can get, this guide is for you. Let’s break it down into easy steps.
What Is the Oil Rig in My Fishing Pier?
The Oil Rig is a floating platform in the middle of the sea. It is one of the latest fishing zones added to My Fishing Pier. Here, you can catch rare fish that are not found anywhere else. These fish are grouped into different categories, and each one has special traits.
The Oil Rig isn’t available from the start. First, you need to unlock it by finishing a quest. After that, you can teleport to the Oil Rig from the main town.
How to Unlock the Oil Rig
Before you can go to the Oil Rig, you need to unlock the Family Pond.
Here’s how:
- Go to the Town Area – Use your map or teleport menu.
- Find the Family Pond NPC – Look near the piers. He stands beside a small pool.
- Talk to the NPC – He will give you a small quest. Usually, you need to catch a fish using a special bait.
- Complete the Quest – Bring him the fish he asks for.
- Unlock the Family Pond – Once done, he gives you access.
Now that you have the Family Pond, you can move forward.
How to Reach the Oil Rig
Once the Family Pond is unlocked:
- Teleport back to the Town.
- Go near the Bait Shop.
- Look for the Oil Rig Teleporter.
- Enter it and you’ll appear on the Oil Rig.
The platform is floating in the middle of the ocean. It has a cool design and gives you a great view of the water.
How to Fish at the Oil Rig
Fishing here is a bit different. You can’t just throw your line any time. You need to wait for a school of fish to appear.
Step-by-step fishing method:
- Wait for the school to spawn – A timer will appear on your screen.
- Watch the water – When the fish appear, cast your line near them.
- Catch the fish quickly – The fish disappear after some time.
- Repeat when the next wave spawns.
The water changes themes just like the Family Pond. Each theme lets different kinds of fish appear. So pay attention to the signs or boards nearby.
Types of Fish at the Oil Rig
There are four main themes or categories of fish:
- Greasy
- Oilfish
- Bioshock
- Rift
Each category has three different fish, which spawn when the correct theme is active.
Greasy Category:
- Greaseling
- Crankclaw
- Boilercrab
Oilfish Category:
- Oilmonger
- Deepdrill Kraken
- Glass Kraken
Bioshock Category:
- Hypervolt
- Green Reaper
- Riftlurker
Rift Category:
- (Still being updated in-game)
You can check the current fish category on the board next to the Oil Fisher NPC. It shows which theme is active.
What to Do With Oil Rig Fish
After catching fish, you can sell them to the Oil Fisher NPC. He gives you a special currency called Oil.
This currency is different from coins or gems. You use Oil to buy special baits from the Oil Merchant nearby.
List of Baits and Prices:
| Bait Type | Price (in Oil) |
|---|---|
| Greasy | 250,000 |
| Oilfish | 1,000,000 |
| Bioshock | 4,500,000 |
| Rift | 10,000,000 |
These baits are not used at the Oil Rig. Instead, you can place them at your personal pier to spawn the same fish there.
How to Use Baits at Your Pier
Once you buy a bait:
- Go to your own pier.
- Open your inventory or backpack.
- Choose the bait and place it in the bait slot.
- Fish as usual. The special fish from the Oil Rig will now appear.
This is useful because you don’t have to wait for the school of fish at the Oil Rig. You can farm the rare fish faster and earn more Oil.
Tips for Fishing at the Oil Rig
Here are some simple tips to help you succeed:
- Watch the timer – Schools of fish spawn on a timer.
- Check the board – Always check which category is active before fishing.
- Save your Oil – Don’t spend Oil on random baits. Buy only what you need.
- Fish in groups – It’s more fun and helpful when you fish with others.
- Sell your extras – Don’t forget to sell the extra fish for Oil currency.
