Fish Flingers

<a id="start"></a> <p> To start playing this game, talk to a <a href="/database/npc/fisherman">Fisherman</a> at one of the start locations to obtain an Entry ticket. Each day, he will give you 2 Entry tickets. If you were unable to claim these tickets, you may claim them the following day as long as you do not already have 10 tickets. Additional tickets can be earned from catching heavy fish during during a competition. </p> <img src="/assets/runehq/assets/runehq/image/distractionsdiversions/fishflingers/fisherman.png" alt="Fisherman" /> <br/><br/> <p> Locations to find a <a href="/database/npc/fisherman">Fisherman</a> include: </p> <ul> <li><a href="/rs3/city/barbarian-outpost-and-lighthouse">Barbarian Outpost</a></li> <li><a href="/rs3/city/barbarian-village">Barbarian Village</a></li> <li><a href="/rs3/city/burgh-de-rott">Burgh de Rott</a> </li> <li><a href="/rs3/city/burthorpe">Burthorpe</a> </li> <li><a href="/rs3/city/catherby">Catherby</a> </li> <li><a href="/rs3/city/deep-sea-fishing-hub">Deep Sea Fishing Hub</a> </li> <li><a href="/rs3/city/draynor-village-and-manor">Draynor Village</a> </li> <li><a href="/rs3/guild/fishing-guild">Fishing Guild</a> </li> <li><a href="/rs3/map/living-rock-caverns">Living Rock Caverns</a> </li> <li><a href="/rs3/city/lumbridge">Lumbridge</a> </li> <li><a href="/rs3/city/lumbridge-swamp">Lumbridge Swamp</a> </li> <li><a href="/rs3/city/menaphos#port">Menaphos</a> Port District</li> <li><a href="/rs3/city/menaphos#imperial">Menaphos</a> VIP skilling area</li> <li> <a href="/rs3/city/piscatoris-fishing-colony">Piscatoris Fishing Colony</a> </li> <li> <a href="/rs3/city/prifddinas">Prifddinas</a> Waterfall</li> <li> <a href="/rs3/city/shilo-village">Shilo Village</a> </li> </ul> <p> Upon arriving on Isla Anglerine, you will be placed in a group of players who have joined from the same world.

The competition lasts for 10 minutes. Competitions run every 20 minutes with a 5 minute grace period and a 5 minute waiting time between competitions. This game is mostly based on playing around with different hooks, weights, and bait in different areas of the island. </p> <p> You will notice that you now have a menu for the items you can use. You MUST have at least one weight, bait, and hook before you can cast your line. These are selected by clicking them in your menu. You can then cast either by clicking a barrel or choosing the "cast" option on the lower left of your inventory screen. Choosing "Clear line" will remove all your tackle and you will need to select some before you can re-cast your line. </p> <p> Sometimes it takes a moment for a bit of tackle to take effect and catch a fish. Be patient with it and click again if necessary! </p> <img src="/assets/runehq/assets/runehq/image/distractionsdiversions/fishflingers/inventorymenu.png" alt="Inventory Menu" /> <br/><br/> <p> Baits include: </p> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td class="square"></td> <td class="left"><img src="/assets/runehq/assets/runehq/image/distractionsdiversions/fishflingers/bait/worms.png" alt="Worms Bait" />Worms</td> <td class="square"></td> <td class="left"><img src="/assets/runehq/assets/runehq/image/distractionsdiversions/fishflingers/bait/maggots.png" alt="Maggots Bait" />Maggots</td> <td class="square"></td> <td class="left"><img src="/assets/runehq/assets/runehq/image/distractionsdiversions/fishflingers/bait/locust.png" alt="Locust Bait" />Locust</td> <td class="square"></td> <td class="left"><img src="/assets/runehq/assets/runehq/image/distractionsdiversions/fishflingers/bait/cricket.png" alt="Cricket Bait" />Cricket</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="square"></td> <td class="left"><img src="/assets/runehq/assets/runehq/image/distractionsdiversions/fishflingers/bait/crayfish.png" alt="Crayfish Bait" />Crayfish</td> <td class="square"></td> <td class="left"><img src="/assets/runehq/assets/runehq/image/distractionsdiversions/fishflingers/bait/shrimp.png" alt="Shrimp Bait" />Shrimp</td> <td class="square"></td> <td class="left"><img src="/assets/runehq/assets/runehq/image/distractionsdiversions/fishflingers/bait/greenmoth.png" alt="Green Moth Bait" />Green moth</td> <td class="square"></td> <td class="left"><img src="/assets/runehq/assets/runehq/image/distractionsdiversions/fishflingers/bait/greymoth.png" alt="Grey Moth Bait" />Grey moth</td> </tr> </table> <br/><br/> <p> Hooks include: </p> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td class="square"></td> <td class="left"><img src="/assets/runehq/assets/runehq/image/distractionsdiversions/fishflingers/hook/standard.png" alt="Standard Hook" />Standard</td> <td class="square"></td> <td class="left"><img src="/assets/runehq/assets/runehq/image/distractionsdiversions/fishflingers/hook/slim.png" alt="Slim Hook" />Slim</td> <td class="square"></td> <td class="left"><img src="/assets/runehq/assets/runehq/image/distractionsdiversions/fishflingers/hook/large.png" alt="Large Hook" />Large</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="square"></td> <td class="left"><img src="/assets/runehq/assets/runehq/image/distractionsdiversions/fishflingers/hook/double.png" alt="Double Hook" />Double</td> <td class="square"></td> <td class="left"><img src="/assets/runehq/assets/runehq/image/distractionsdiversions/fishflingers/hook/bone.png" alt="Bone Hook" />Bone</td> <td class="square"></td> <td class="left"><img src="/assets/runehq/assets/runehq/image/distractionsdiversions/fishflingers/hook/wooden.png" alt="Wooden Hook" />Wooden</td> </tr> </table> <br/><br/> <p> When on Isla Anglerine, there are four areas you can choose to fish at: docks, beach, river, or lake. </p> <img src="/assets/runehq/assets/runehq/image/distractionsdiversions/fishflingers/map.png" alt="Area Map" /> <br/><br/> <p> At the top of your screen you will find your catch history. This will tell you the species of the fish, where you caught it, the weight of the fish, and how accurate your lure was, as well as which bait, hook, and weight(s) you used. There are 6 different types of fish that you can catch: bass, cod, pike, herring, trout, and salmon. During each competition, one of these will be considered the "heavy breed". This is the one that everyone will be trying to catch. The interface will also tell you the best combinations you have found to catch each fish. <br/><br/> <img src="/assets/runehq/assets/runehq/image/distractionsdiversions/fishflingers/catchmenu.png" alt="Catch Menu" /> </p> <br/><br/> <p class="undersubheader12pt"><a id="lures"></a>Lure Combinations</p> <p> When choosing your bait, weights, and hook, keep in mind that you are aiming for 100% rating and the heaviest fish to earn the max reward. While fishing in certain areas you can fish up 2 different types of fish. Example: Herring and Cod can be fished at docks by switching your tackle. <br/><br/> <span class="smallbold">NOTE:</span> The combination for 100% rating is scrambled EACH time you play!

Note that you should ask him before the game actually begins - before being teleported to the lobby or while waiting for the game to actually begin. Each person will receive their own clue so it is advised to share amongst the others there. Using the "fishflingers" fc while on World 89 is highly advised. More people (who know how to play) makes it more likely for you to obtain medals. </p> <p> Each clue will contain 3 bits of information: Type of fish, Where to catch it, and either the bait, hook, or distance to the fish.

Each of the cardinal directions are 2 baits that have a similar color (or shape) and the intermediate sides are ones with similar shape (or color). You will then want to try a bait on the opposite corner of the octagon. So for example, you would want to change from Shrimp to Green moth, Locust, or Cricket to best know what to try next. </p> <img src="/assets/runehq/assets/runehq/image/distractionsdiversions/fishflingers/worms.gif" alt="Worms Bait" /> <p> If changing from Worms to Grey moth gets you +33%, then your desired bait is Grey moth.<br/> If changing from Worms to Grey moth gets you +16%, then your desired bait is Crayfish or Green moth.<br/> If changing from Worms to Grey moth gets you 0%, then your desired bait is Locust or Cricket.<br/> If changing from Worms to Grey moth gets you -16%, then your desired bait is Shrimp or Maggots. </p> <br/><br/> <p class="justunderline"><a id="distancestrat"></a>Distance (Weight) Strategy</p> <p> Finally we reach the strategy for discovering the proper weight.

If you are not at 1 of those ratings, then you have not found the correct <a href="#hookstrat">Hook</a> or <a href="#baitstrat">Bait</a>. </p> <p> When trying to discover the proper weight, it is advised to start on weight 4, catch a fish, then switch to weight 2. If your rating increases with this change, the correct weight is either 1, 2, or 3. Conversely, if the rating decreases, then it is either 4, 5, or 6. The amount the rating changes will also help you to narrow down your options. </p> <img src="/assets/runehq/assets/runehq/image/distractionsdiversions/fishflingers/weight.gif" alt="Weights" /> <p> If you are at 66% rating and changing from 4 to 2 gets you 0%, then your desired weight is 3.<br/> If you are at 66% rating and changing from 4 to 2 gets you +16%, then your desired weight is 1.<br/> If you are at 83% rating and changing from 4 to 2 gets you 0%, then your desired weight is 6.<br/> If you are at 83% rating and changing from 4 to 2 gets you -16%, then your desired weight is 5.<br/> </p> <br/><br/> <p class="undersubheader"><a id="big"></a>Big Fish</p> <p> Once you have found the 100% lure combination for any fish, you can start attracting big fish. Note that you only have a chance to attract big fish when there are others in the game with you. Also be aware that big fish cannot spawn within 4 paces of one another, so you will want to distance yourself from any current big fish if you are aiming for your own. </p> <p> When someone has hooked a big fish, a notification will appear in the chat box. That person will now need help to reel it in; up to 8 people can help per big fish. Each person can only be rewarded for helping with 6 big fish per game. Once you have assisted 6 times, you will no longer be informed when a big fish has been hooked and, though you can assist, you will no longer receive experience for it. </p> <img src="/assets/runehq/assets/runehq/image/distractionsdiversions/fishflingers/bigfish.png" alt="Big Fish" /> <br/><br/> <p> To help reel in a big fish, click the bubbling water near by. Note that your bait, hook, and weight to not affect your ability to help. Above the bubbling water you will see a box that lists how many are assisting and how close to catching the fish they are. Once the fish is fully caught, all who helped reel it in will be given credit for the weight of the fish - usually 220kg to 250kg. Now that the fish has been caught, the person who initially hooked the fish has the option to discard or re-cast to release the fish. Choosing to recast the fish will disable you from obtaining another one for a minute. You are only able to hook up to 3 big fish per game. Doing so will complete the "Master Angler" Achievement. </p> <br/><br/> <p class="undersubheader12pt"><a id="score"></a>Scoring</p> <p> After 10 minutes have elapsed, everyone will be teleported back to the lobby area and the round scoreboard will appear.
