Fishing

99.9 and out of bait ><

I hate when that happens, and you KNOW the next cast would have skilled you to 100!

so I've been fishing up Giant Donko for the Fish Ranking Contest the past couple days and I noticed something interesting.

Last night I was fishing, it was around 50% moonphase, and nearly every Donko I fished up was completely mediocre in size and weight. I dont think a single one of them was anywhere close to being contest worthy.

So tonight I'm back fishing for Donkos again, been fishing for 2 hours, I started at 5% and its 10% now. In the 30 some fish I've caught so far, 3 of them have been decently high, one of which is pretty damn big (second biggest i've caught out of about 400 or so).

So I'm wondering if moonphase has any effect on the size of fish that bite, or maybe I've just been lucky. Any thoughts?

[Albender]

Could be just luck.

It's very possible that moon has an influence on fish size, but it's gonna be hard to figure out :/

I don't know how rough is the competition on other server's fishing contest, but on Lakshmi I made it to the top 5 every single time I took part in it (4-5 times), simply by fishing the target fish for a couple hours and trading in the biggest/smallest one I caught in the process.

Yea, it would have been nice ot enter this months contest on Unicorn, but the fish is Titanic Sawfish..... yea, not the fish for everyone.

This is actually the most retarded target fish for the contest ><

Ya usually thats the case, but this months fish on Carby is Giant Donko which is retardedly easy so a shit load of people have been fishing them up. So I really had to spend some time to find some good ones. Not to mention I had to catch winning fish for 3 characters so I've spent quite a bit of time in Rabao.

On the bright side they're lvl 51 so I've gotten like 10 lvls on my mule so far

Just got fishing to 56 in Nashmau, and I am LOVING it. Those two months of slavery I spent working on Lu are really paying off. Its hard to go back to leveling up Woodworking after tasting that salty goodness.

I'm in the same boat (minus the woodworking).

Got Lu's went to Nashmau and BAM. This is awesome

I hope you realize that Penguin Ring is not 100%. Sounds like you think you have both rings automatically since you have both charts, which would not be true.

[Ryukin]

i try and be optimistic, apparently you are a pessimistic person

[Pyree]

There's a difference between optimism and stupidity.

Does getting claim on Fafnir mean that a Ridill will drop? Does crafting a Cursed Dalmatica mean you will actually get a Cursed Dalmatica -1? Does catching a Gugrusaurus mean that you will get your Saber Shoot? Does going to a job interview mean you will get a job?

When an outcome relies on a chance and you go talking like you're so sure that you'll get it on your first try, and no other outcome is possible, then that would be stupidity. Not only are you setting yourself up for dissapointment, but you're just trying to impress us, and getting a Brigand's Chart is not impressive in the least. Come back when you get your ring and I'll gladly congratulate you.

geez pyree...harsh...

Please don't come in and ruin our nice fishing thread, so far it's just been people helping each other and showing accomplishments, no need for drama.

your just close minded, what i was saying is i'm being hopefull. but of course you trying to be a realistic person has to go and kill the whole fucking thing, do you jack off while typing shit that tells people "your stupid, stop hoping and look at the real chances"? i have to be fucking optimisitic, and disapointment isn't a big thing, its not hard to get over, i timed out on the bc and i was mad for like 5 min then i said fuck it.

i'm 0/39 on the hagun enm, 1/79 on ISNM, my luck isnt great but if i think like you do "oh no i wont get it this time because its not 100%" then i'd stop doing it. but i'm not like your pessimistic ass where i shouldn't hope for shit, telling people not to be hopeful is pretty much telling them to go fucking kill themselves because nothing is always promised to get in life. i do what i want, and you can't tell me what i can and can't do, or hope for. nor do i care if you think i'm stupid, and with that, a good day to you

Ok, so reread the first couple of posts that lead into this pointless bickering.

I quoted you where you make it sound as if all you need to do now is turn in your chart for a quest and get a ring! I pointed out that that seemed to be the impression you were giving, but if you reread my post you will find that I stated that with some uncertainty, meaning I gave you room to reply with something like "Yeah, I know it's not guaranteed, but at least I'm one step closer." I was pretty politely pointing out that it's not a 100% drop to you, because you really didn't sound like you knew that. I didn't want to see you coming back here posting "WTF IT DIDN'T DROP!" and being genuinely surprised by it. If you knew that already, then that's cool, but there was no way for me to know that from reading your post. Really, there was nothing at all about my first post that was insulting, you're the one that jumped me. I think it's ironic when you ask me if I'm the type that likes to jack off while calling people stupid online; you're the instigator in this situation. Reading through all the posts and tabulating all of the insults, I see only one (maybe two, if you're a tender person) places where I've insulted you, which were both rebuttals. On the flip side, I can see four places where you've insulted me. Now I ask: who's bringing the drama into this thread?

Please don't come in and ruin our nice fishing thread, so far it's just been people helping each other and showing accomplishments, no need for drama.

First of all, as it's obvious from the above, I was helping him and contributing by saying that the drop rate is not 100% when he seemed to think it was. That was information that is related to fishing, and I don't think I stepped out of bounds to say it. I'm sorry that he takes such offense at being told something he already knows. Second of all, saying "don't come in and ruin our nice fishing thread" implies that I've not been in this thread until this incident. This is not the case at all, if you look back at the very first page, you'll see I've been contributing since then. I've kept up with this thread and contributed for longer than you've even been a member of this forum. So please, spare me.

[Ryukin]

fine no more bickering, i can forgive and forget shit, easy shit

[Juib]

Fish ranking would be annoying the hell out of me right now but my mule has gone from 36 to 48 catching the fish ^^;
