🎣 I Tried the x2 Virtual Fishing Event in Second Life, Was It Worth It?

I decided to spend some time at the second Virtual Fishing buoy at Stress Free in Second Life during the x2 multiplier event to see if I could boost my Linden Dollar earnings. Fishing is one of those relaxing activities in Second Life that feels simple, cast, wait, collect, but events like this can make it more exciting.

After 40 casts, I ended up earning 21 Linden Dollars. Not bad for something low stress, especially during a multiplier event. But it did get me thinking about how the system works.

One interesting thing I noticed is that the cast counter doesn’t reset automatically when you move to a different buoy. If you switch spots, you actually have to reset it manually. That’s good to know if you’re tracking your progress closely. I also mentioned how watching the cast counter go up kind of makes time feel like it’s moving faster. There’s something satisfying about seeing those numbers climb.

During the stream, someone in chat said my avatar looked like AI, which gave me a good laugh. I promise I’m real... just very pixelated.

We also talked about other ways to earn Linden Dollars in Second Life. Fishing is fun, but it’s not the only option. Becoming a creator can be much more profitable. Making clothing, furniture, scripts, or even full games can bring in steady income if people like your work. Coding and scripting especially can open up more advanced opportunities.

There are also social roles like hosting or DJing at clubs. And just to be clear, no disrespect to DJs — there’s more that goes into it than people think. It’s real effort to build a following and keep a crowd entertained.

Pet breeding is another interesting route. I mentioned Celestial Butterfly, which combines butterfly breeding with farming systems that are separate but connected. It adds more depth to the experience.

I also briefly talked about Decor Forge, a crafting and gathering game in Second Life (not free to play), for those who enjoy progression-style gameplay.

Overall, the x2 fishing event was a chill way to earn some Linden Dollars and spark a bigger conversation about making money in Second Life.
