After getting the advice, share it with the Clan Chat! <br><br>~~The Calling~~ <br>Calling is simple, you have to tell the combination that yields a 100% catch rate. The calling format will be.. <br><br>Type of fish/ Location of fish/ bait/ hook/ weights... <br><br>The weights are called by using numerical numbers. The first number is the SMALL weights, second number is the MEDIUM weights, and the third is the LARGE weights. <br><br>Example of a call: Bass/Dock/Worm/Bone/012. <br>This call means at the DOCK there are BASS being caught with WORMS, a BONE HOOK, and 0 SMALL weights, 1 MEDIUM weight, and 2 LARGE weights. <br><br>~~Listing the Calls~~ <br>Either ranks will list the call, or someone appointed by a rank will list the calls. Through the game, one person will be recording the 100% calls. Then when all the combinations are gathered, a rank or appointed person will state (or something to this affect): <br><br>===All combos have been found, remain quiet for listing=== <br>=======Refusal to do so is a kick, starting list now====== <br>Combo 1 (heavy) <br>Combo 2 <br>Combo 3 <br>Combo 4 <br>Combo 5 <br>Combo 6 <br>====END OF CALLS==== <br><br><br>**Since we're all working together as a team, please state your 100% in the Clan chat so it can be CONFIRMED and added to the list of calls. <br><br>=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=

In each of these locations, there are 1 or 2 different types of fish; for a total of 6 species. There is cod, herring, trout, salmon, bass, and pike. Each of these species requires a specific bait, hook, and set of weights. The <20>perfect tackle<6C> will grant you with the 100% combination. <br><br>*=*=Locations=*=* <br>The 4 locations on the island are as follows: <br><br>The Docks: Located WEST and EAST of the starting point. <br>The Beach: Located far NORTH-EAST of the island. <br>The Lake: Located just NORTH of the starting point. <br>The River: Located NORTH-EAST of the starting point, EAST (downstream) of the lake. <br><br>**How do you fish both types of fish in a single location? <br>**You have to find both of the combinations by the hints given before game or by trial and error. <br><br>*=*=BAIT=*=* <br>There are eight different types of bait, with each bait sharing a common property with two other types of bait (be that colour or shape). If you find that, say, using worms increases your rating a bit, you should next try either shrimp or maggots to see if either of those increase your rating further. <br><br>*=*=Hooks=*=* <br>There are six different types of hook, which work in a similar way to bait. At each habitat, one of the six hooks will give you the best rating increase, but a similar hook will still improve your rating slightly <br><br>*=*=Weights=*=* <br>Weights work a little bit differently from bait and hooks. They come in three sizes - small (1kg), medium (2kg) and large (5kg) - and you can attach up to five weights to your line (in any combination) to extend your casting range. The heavier your line, the further you can cast, giving you a range between 1-7 metres. You'll find that one range will improve your rating a little, but the optimal range will improve your rating by more
Close: <br>Range 1 - 010 <br>Range 2 - 001 <br><br>Mid <br>Range 3 - 002 <br>Range 4 - 003 <br><br>Far <br>Range 5 - 013 <br>Range 6 - 004 <br>Range 7 - 005 <br><br><br>**We are aware that there are several ways to get a certain range, these are just the ranges that we prefer to use. <br><br><br>~~What is the HEAVIEST FISH?!~~ <br><br>-If the fish ends in a 9 [149/49 etc] and you have the fish at 100% rating; <br>-Change the weights so the fish becomes 66% - This will automatically fish the lightest of the species. <br><br>This results in two possible scenarios: <br>*If the fish you catch at 66% is 49; you have the heaviest species <br>*If the fish you catch at 66% is 29, you have the lightest <br><br><br>~~Other Tips~~ <br>Once you've discovered the best tackle for each of the six species, you should make note of the average weight of the fish you are catching. You may then want to try to find the best tackle to catch the other species, to see if their average weight is higher - the more heavy fish that you land, the greater your score will be. <br><br>You don't, however, have to do everything yourself, as you're welcome to share any information you find out about each habitat, and which habitat is best, with your fellow entrants. Some clans and groups of friends may wish to do this to improve all of their scores, but beware that not all entrants will be so altruistic and may feed you misinformation to improve their own chances of winning. <br><br>=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=
=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=* <br><br>*=*=A Way to Get 100% Easily=*=* <br><br>1<EFBFBD> Pay attention to the hints before the game, taking note of all info. <br>2<EFBFBD> Keep track of which hooks have been used, for each hook is used for only one species per game. <br>3<EFBFBD> If there wasn't a hint for the bait of a species, it becomes a little trickier. Fear not though! For using the following system will aid you in your attempts to discover the perfect bait! <br><br>A Try a type of bait, check what the change is, this will decide what you do next. <br>B If the rating increased by 33%, congratulations! You have the perfect bait! <br>C If the rating increases by 16% you have a bait with shape or color in common with the correct bait, so go with one of those. <br>D If it stays the same, you've nothing in common, try something entirely different, not similar shape OR color. <br>E Drops by 16%, the correct bait had something in common with the previous bait, so use a bait with either shape or color in common with what you used last. <br>F Drops by 33%, you've just changed from the perfect bait! BAD! GO BACK! HURRY! <br><br>4<EFBFBD> Finally, the weight. If you have a hint for the weight, try to follow it. <br><br>For example: far away? Try 4 or 5 larges first. <br><br>If you DO NOT have a hint for the weight, scan using the following method. <br><br>Add a MEDIUM weight, which is Range 1. (010) <br>Add a LARGE weight, which is Range 2. (001) <br>Add TWO LARGE weights, which is Range 3. (002) <br>Add THREE LARGE weights, which is Range 4. (003) <br>Add THREE LARGE and ONE MEDIUM weight, which is Range 5. (013) <br>Add FOUR LARGE weights, which is Range 6. (004) <br>Add FIVE LARGE weights, which is Range 7 (005) <br><br>The method for finding the correct hook is similar to that of the bait, just a little easier. <br><br>A Try any hook and check the rating. <br>B If rating increases to 33%, you have the right hook. <br>C If rating increases to 16%, you're in the right direction. <br>D No change? Try another set of hooks. <br>E If it drops, change back!
