Item limits?

I suddenly stopped getting Mermaid's purse decorations after 3, and was wondering if they are actually limited to 3 or if I'm just having bad luck and they're actually limited to 5 like the other limited items.

I've also included the list below to find all of the limits (per prestige):

Item Limit
Prawn penny Prawn penny Unlimited
Baron shark 1-5 Baron sharks Unlimited
Kelp decoration Kelp decoration 5
Telescope lenses Telescope lenses Unlimited
Mermaid's purse decoration Mermaid's purse decoration 3

Cannon decoration Cannon decoration 3
White wolf mountain decoration White wolf mountain decoration 1

Yeah, kelp, seaweed, and oysters are 5. I think mermaid's purses are 3. I got those things early from prawn balls, but haven't seen any since hitting those limits. Area decorations like Vorago are 1. Anchor seems to be limited. --Shockstorm (talk) 02:37, April 25, 2015 (UTC)
Asked some clanmates, they all said that they also have 5 kelp, seaweed, and oysters, and 3 mermaid's purses.  None of them have gotten more than 1 of the xp-boosting decorations.  Still not exactly sure on the Cannon or Anchor decorations - however, similar sized objects (2x2 squares) are limited to 3 (never 5) so it's safe to assume that they are as well.  (I have to assume the Golden values are correct - you only get them as long as you have fish eggs left to get.) Zants (talk) 03:05, April 25, 2015 (UTC)
Actually, looking at the page for Golden mystery egg Golden mystery egg reveals that both Golden mystery egg and Golden prawn cracker are likely unlimited rather than having a maximum of 14: "If a player has added all possible fish to the aquarium and tries to identify a golden mystery egg, they receive a chat message You have already collected all golden fish eggs. This egg can be kept for when you reset the progress in your aquarium by prestiging and pulling the plug." That should be everything now. Zants (talk) 02:09, April 26, 2015 (UTC)

Artificial LP value

What's the artificial LP value given to Leaping trout, Leaping salmon, Leaping sturgeon, Small crystal urchin, Medium crystal urchin, and Large crystal urchins? --Jlun2 (talk) 15:51, September 22, 2015 (UTC)

For the Large crystal urchins, I'm getting them every 16-17 urchins. I have all perks unlocked including the 25k LP one. --Jlun2 (talk) 02:55, September 26, 2015 (UTC)

I always assumed that leaping salmon and leaping trout have the same value as regular salmon and trout. There's no regular sturgeon, though. Much testing is required. Neutralino (talk) 03:09, September 26, 2015 (UTC)

No Aquarium, but still got Prawn balls?

The article reads a player must have built an aquarium in their POH to receive this item, yet I do not have one nor have I ever built one and I've still received them while fishing sharks. Any clarification or answers would be much appreciated. Monoxide219 (talk) 05:38, November 30, 2015 (UTC)

Idk why you are receiving them, but you can disable that by going to Setting interface and look for the POH-settings, one of the options is to disable the ability to receive prawn balls. If that doesn't work, then you should report it as a bug. Salix of Prifddinas (Talk) 06:22, November 30, 2015 (UTC)

Inability to get prawn balls

Is there any reason why a account returning to runescape may be be able to collect prawn balls ?

-Aquarium/broker/suit was created and prawn balls turned on in the settings, so im stumped. Enur (talk) 00:16, February 24, 2016 (UTC)
