Deep Sea Fishing

Deep Sea Fishing is a Fishing activity that will be accessible via the Fishing Guild. It will be the first update released in March 2018. It will be available to players with a range of Fishing levels, and will encourage them to fish in a hub area together. The minimum Fishing level to participate will be around level 68 (the same as is required to enter the Fishing Guild, where the activity will be located). It will have several different activities including:


 * Level 94 Fishing frenzy spots: intensive fishing spots where players must click on the frequently changing active spot to gain the best experience rate. Continuously using the active spot will give a "streak" bonus, which will award up to 20% bonus experience with the maximum 200 streak.The streak will be lost if the player is inactive for too long. These would not give fish but may award a kind of reward currency. Success rate will depend on the player's Fishing level, up to a maximum of 100% success rate at level 99. This is intended to give the best Fishing experience rate in game: Prifddinas Waterfall Fishing experience rates may be adjusted to achieve this.
 * Baitable spots where players may throw bait into spots to attract fish and create a new fishing spot. These may contain fish that are already in-game but which are hard to obtain, such as sea turtles and manta rays from Fishing Trawler.
 * Shoal fishing spots for new kinds of stackable fish which would be low healing, with unique uses or the ability to be traded in. Level 68 magnetic minnows will be one kind of stackable fish.
 * Ourania Runecrafting Altar style swarm fishing spots: giving the player the chance to catch a range of fish, including those that they do not meet the Fishing level requirements for, at a very low catch rate.
 * Sail fish will have the highest Fishing level requirements and will heal more than other fish in the game (2400 life points; 2600 for sailfish soup).
 * Random events and interactions in the centre of the area. These will increase experience rates. One event will be the whirlpool event; during which the player may donate money to receive the titles previously only available from the Well of Goodwill.

Deep sea fishing will add 7 new achievements. The activity will also introduce a new type of uncharted island map as a reward. Maps from the activity will lead to Uncharted Isles with between 4-6 special resources spots on them. The islands may be claimed using a claim island flag.
