Rebirth: Requirements, Rewards and Timing - Roll a Fisherman Wiki
What a reset wipes, what it permanently grants, and the preparation that keeps your first rebirth from costing you hours of progress.
Overview
Rebirth is the long-term reset in this tycoon: you pay a large Cash requirement, wipe rebuildable progress, and receive permanent advantages that make every following run faster. This page covers what each reset keeps, the rewards the community has reported so far, and how to prepare before committing. Pair it with our upgrade guide so your Gold spending supports the reset.
Rebirth Progression in Practice
Watch a full progression run to see when a creator chooses to reset, what they bank beforehand, and how noticeably the next cycle moves once the permanent bonuses are in place. Use it as a pacing reference alongside the automation routine.
What a Reset Actually Does
A rebirth clears the cash-funded layer of your account: rolls you have banked, hires you have paid for, and the cash purchases that funded dock expansion. The permanent layer stays with you, most importantly the stats you bought with Gold in the upgrade menu.
Because production stops while you rebuild, the reset is only worthwhile once your current pier has stopped scaling meaningfully. Rebuilding without a working buffer wastes time, which is why our beginner guide stresses keeping spare funds on hand.
Prepare, Reset, Rebuild
Rebirth works best as a planned move rather than a reaction. Confirm your income has genuinely stalled, check the requirement inside the reset menu, then run the preparation steps below before you commit. Claim the active codes right after the reset for immediate working capital.
Bank Your Gold
Spend Gold on permanent stats before you reset. Cash-funded progress is what disappears, while these upgrades stay with your account permanently.
Clean the Stands
Leave your highest value catches displayed and clear the low tier inventory so the first post-reset collection session pays out at full rate.
Confirm the Requirement
Open the reset menu and read the exact Cash figure. Published community numbers drift with balance patches, so the in-game value is the only one that counts.
Rebuild in the Same Order
After resetting, repeat your original loop - roll, place, collect, reinvest - but with better luck stats, so the first hour returns noticeably more than your very first session.
Reported Rebirth Requirements
Published requirement figures come from player reports rather than an official table, and they disagree with each other. The pattern matters more than the digits: the cost rises sharply with each successive reset, which is why banking Cash beforehand matters. Check the update log for balance patches.
| Reset Stage | Reported Cash Gate | Confidence |
|---|---|---|
| First rebirth | Around 25,000 | Community reports vary |
| Early resets | Around 100,000 | Seen in multiple sessions |
| Later resets | Around 3.75M | Single late-September report |
Bank These Before You Reset
A comfortable reset is built before you press the button. Finish the Gold purchases that persist, then make sure your stand setup is already earning passively when you return, referencing the rates in our earnings guide.
Everything in the list below carries across the reset or immediately re-establishes income, which is the difference between a one hour rebuild and an afternoon of grinding. Pair your plan with our gacha guide to restock your team quickly.
Permanent Stat Upgrades
Fishing Speed, Catch Luck, Mutation Luck and Roll Luck purchased with Gold all survive the reset and immediately improve the rebuild.
Starter Cash Buffer
Keep enough Cash to roll and hire immediately after resetting, so your dock slots are never sitting empty while you scrape for coins.
Dock Slot Layout
Re-familiarise yourself with which pier slots you had unlocked and the order you unlocked them, so the rebuild follows the efficient path.
Unclaimed Codes
Leave at least some active codes unclaimed so you can collect fresh Cash, Gold and Wheel Spins straight after the reset.
After Your First Rebirth
The first cycle after a reset is short and predictable, and it tells you whether the preparation above worked. Keep the routine tight and let the permanent upgrades do the heavy lifting, as detailed in our gameplay fundamentals.
- Redeem any live codes first - free Cash and working codes fund the opening rolls.
- Roll until every dock slot is occupied before buying anything optional.
- Place fish on stands early, even the low tier ones, so production starts immediately.
- Compare your cash per second against the pre-reset run to confirm the permanent upgrades are paying off.
- Plan the next reset only once income stalls again, following the same offline income routine.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do I lose when I rebirth?
Cash-funded progress: the money in your balance, paid hires, and cash purchases. Gold-bought stat upgrades and other permanent bonuses stay with your account.
How much Cash do I need for a rebirth?
Community reports range from around 25,000 for early resets to about 3.75 million later on. The exact figure only matters because it changes - read it in the reset menu.
When is the right time to rebirth?
When your current pier has stopped scaling and you can pay the requirement while keeping a working Cash buffer. Resetting at the bare minimum usually costs more time than it saves.
Do my upgrades reset too?
Only the ones bought with Cash. Permanent stats bought with Gold persist, which is why the upgrade guide prioritises them before any reset.
What rewards does a rebirth give?
Reported rewards include better luck, expanded dock capacity, extended offline time, and extra fish slots. Exact values vary between players and patches, so confirm them in-game.
Should I rebirth more than once?
Yes, that is the intended loop. Each reset compounds the permanent upgrades, so later runs reach the previous wall noticeably faster than the run before it.
What is the best way to rebuild after resetting?
Spend early Cash on basic rolls to fill dock slots, get fish onto stands immediately, and rely on your permanent Gold upgrades to compress the first hour.
