- You require level 15 fishing to play this minigame.
- This minigame is not 100% authentic.
- 100-200 Swamp Paste
- 3-4 Bailing Buckets
- 12-16 Ropes
When you first start the game you'll be prompted with a brief tutorial telling you
what each item does. You should plug leaks as fast as possible as the boat
can fill with water very quickly. Occasionally, the net will rip. Go on the top deck
and inspect the net in order to repair it. If your net is good and all leaks
are already plugged, spam click your bailing buckets to remove water as fast as
possible.
Our fishing trawler has all the authentic rewards, including:
- Raw Shrimp
- Raw Sardine
- Raw Anchovie
- Raw Lobster
- Raw Manta Ray
- Raw Sea Turtle
- Raw Sharks
- Various Junk Items
However, somewhat inauthentically, I wanted to make this minigame
somewhat worth doing, as in its vanilla state it is pretty much
pointless. So all the above fish can be caught at any level, and
there's been a few inauthentic rewards added. Those are as follows:
- Loop half of key
- Tooth half of key
- Caskets (can award gems, coins, talismans, and a few other things)
- Pirate's Hat (very rare)
- Lucky Cutlass (very rare)
I tweaked how experience is gained as well, again to make this somewhat worth doing.
The exact formula for experience gained at x1 xp is:
((1.5% of Fishing Level) * Fishing Level) * Number of Fish Caught
What this generally works out to mean is that at level 99, you get roughly
20k experience per trip at x1 xp at level 99, and 438.75 xp per trip at x1
at level 15. These are both based on catching around 130 fish, which is the expected
average when soloing.
Playing with more players is more relaxed but you get less fish
and xp, as the haul is divided evenly between all players.
