| Fishipedia | Patch 1.0.5 fixed the previous all-plus-one Drip requirement bug | Old tracker advice may describe the broken requirement |
| Bean | Patch 1.0.5 closed unrestricted travel to locked islands | Older island-skip videos are not a current legal route |
| GOLD GOLD GOLD | Patch 1.0.5 fixed invisible rolling skins at 4K | No official odds, pity system, or guaranteed legendary route is published |
