Could we get some info NOT copied from the Game Guide please? 16:30, March 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * All articles start like this, live with it. Dylandeklerk 17:22, March 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * Correct. And all articles start with vandalism, of which I just removed some. :) 17:24, March 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * When you remove it, if you could use the undo button, it would be nicer than just editing it out ;) 17:25, March 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * I know, but I just got 10 e-mails saying that this page got edited by somebody and because I was constantly updating before seeing the changes, it turned to a big mess, making it look like I'm the vandal. Anyway, I don't see the problem of editing it out, which is faster, by the way. 17:27, March 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * Dylandeklerk, just because an article is new with little known information, that doesn't give us the right to plagiarize directly from the Game Guide. We are a wiki based on RuneScape, yes, but we create OUR OWN content explaining it (most of the time). If every page on this wiki was full of game guide content, we would be a wiki anymore. We'd be a copy of the game guide, simply put. 05:57, March 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Why is that the worm and maggot colors are switched??? Is that vandalism, i'll remove it anyway.Martjain 22:09, April 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * That isn't vandalism; in fact it is switched in the minigame. When the Fishermen give you hints that include "red wriggling" or "brown wriggling", the baits are Maggots and Worms instead of the other way around. Try this yourself. This is just one of the few bugs of this game Jagex has yet to fix. Lil Vic|talk 02:16, April 10, 2010 (UTC)

Randomness
"West: Bass

To achieve 100% efficiency on the west docks, use green moth bait, a slim hook, and 4 large weights."

I'm fairly sure that these are just random, so there's no point documenting them all. --CXgamer 17:48, March 23, 2010 (UTC)

I got 100% efficiency on west docks fishing bass with slim hook, shrimp, 2 medium and 1 large weight. It's just different every time. Theres a cc called "fishing c1an" that tells you when the game has started. This isn't mine or a friends cc. Steam Punker 22:11, March 23, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks CXgamer! LeonMcgann 13:01, March 27, 2010 (UTC)

Competition Times
There is no correct time schedule for the Competitions as they "reset" with every system update. We've had one since release and the time schedule that people are reposting is off by about 30 minutes--consistently. Marthtater 18:17, March 24, 2010 (UTC)

The chart that was just added will need to be updated every time there is a system update. Times should default to being exactly 90 minutes until the next Competition as of the time of the Game Update. Marthtater 20:23, March 26, 2010 (UTC)

Reply:Though the timer is very wrong it doesn't reset with every update your wrong on that for sure.

The time changed in coordination with the Easter event being added. The new times are delayed by 35 minutes (or 55 minutes ahead of schedule) from the old times. We will find out soon whether or not the time resets with many other D&D's on Wednesday. Marthtater 02:15, March 30, 2010 (UTC)

Size
Seems like the max size for salmon and cod is 195 while max size for pike is 199. 96.250.158.29 04:49, March 24, 2010 (UTC)

I got a Bass (shallow, if anyone is keeping track of the species) that was 199, so I'd say that 199 is max weight, and any fish with a weight over 190 is the heaviest of that competition.Ergori 05:10, March 24, 2010 (UTC)

I've got a 199 Cod, I think that's the maximum weight for any fish, as I got the medal for the heaviest fish in my game. 15:03, March 24, 2010 (UTC)

I heard someone say that they got a 202, not sure if that's true --Cahoszerox 17:24, March 24, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah I also got a 199 bass that was the heaviest in the comp. Steam Punker 12:20, March 26, 2010 (UTC)

Each fish has it's own max weight, and there is always one species that has a max weight of 199, this is the heaviest species. --Tharkon 15:32, May 5, 2010 (UTC)

Rewards
Anyone wana add a 'Rewards' section to this please? 16:06, March 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * We should prolly try to figure out what determines the xp and number of tokens. I'm assuming they depend on the final score and your fishing level. Maybe we could put our observations in the following table? Stewbasic 22:34, March 24, 2010 (UTC)

From the looks of things experience rewards seem to decrease with high fishing level. My friend has 91 fishing and got 50k+ score where i got only 35k score in the same game and i got more experience. I already sent in a bug report for this as well, but more of these bug reports would always be better. BelovedNL 00:26, March 27, 2010 (UTC)

I've started a thread ( QFC:15-16-446-60647037 ) on the RSOF in order to help collect data on the exp rate per points. It appears that after passing a score of roughly 40k points, you no longer can obtain extra exp. What's more however, is that from the data I've been getting suggests that there might be a glitch in the calculation for EXP. It seems that the higher the fishing level you have, the lower the exp cap gets.72.224.22.250 00:34, March 27, 2010 (UTC)

Excellent, lets make a seperate page and link the player reward stats to this info. 15:55, March 29, 2010 (UTC)

Ive added some extra columns because the amount of tokens seems to be dependent on more factors than just "final score". BelovedNL 14:33, March 30, 2010 (UTC)

Tokens seem to be dependent on the amount of fish caught BelovedNL 15:54, March 30, 2010 (UTC)

Ok, I think I've got a good guess as to how many fishing tokens you will earn per game, and how many fish you can buy with said tokens. It appears that you earn Fish Total/4 Fish Tokens a competition, rounded down. With the tokens it seems that you can buy Fish Tokens/3 Sharks (rounded down) and Fish Tokens/6 Swordfish (rounded down). 72.224.22.77 05:42, April 2, 2010 (UTC)

It looks like the performance bonus is based on the equation: Performance bonus = (Total weight / (Fish caught x 2)) x (100%/100), rounded down. Red X 226 13:26, April 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * That would seem to be a good estimate of the performace bonus. Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that that is about the same as finding the weight of your average catch as a percentage of the highest possible weight of catch. ie. (average weight / 199) x 100%. Henneyj 07:23, April 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * I just tested your equation with the above data. The results are indeed very similar to those from my equation, except for the sets with total weight of 21333 and 17253, which, with your equation, would be 1% larger than the actual performance bonuses reported. It's very similar because dividing by 199 is almost the same as dividing by 2 (from "Fish caught x 2") then 100 (from "100%/100") in my equation. Red X 226 10:32, April 8, 2010 (UTC)
